"Tools for Teaching" is a rich compendium of classroom-tested strategies and suggestions designed to improve the teaching practice of beginning, midcareer, and senior faculty members. Forty-nine teaching tools organized into twelve sections, cover both traditional tasks - writing a course syllabus, delivering an effective lecture - and newer, broader, concerns, such as responding to diversity and using technology. Each tool includes a brief introduction, a set of general strategies, and concise descriptions of practical ideas culled from distinguished teachers, as well as from the literature on teaching and learning.

The tools are designed to be read and used independently and function as a daily reference for faculty who are looking for the best knowledge and practices available on effective teaching. From designing and offering a new course to tackling the problems of burnout or stagnation, "Tools for Teaching" provides faculty members with the information they need to improve and revitalize their courses.
