Taking College Teaching Seriously - Pedagogy Matters!

Over 50% of US undergraduates are at community colleges. By many measures, particularly college completion, America's undergraduate education is underperforming. This is nationally important since America's future goes to college in these institutions. This book offers a successful and scalable solution to the current crisis by zeroing in on teaching and its corollary - learning.
