Abstract

Abstract : Centers for teaching and learning have a crucial role to play in helping faculty learn about and apply research on learning. The approach we have developed integrates discussion of recent research with specific recommendations of teaching modifications that can be adapted for different disciplines and courses. Preliminary evaluation suggests the effectiveness of this approach in fostering a growth mind‐set about teaching—a mind‐set that helps faculty develop, implement, and assess effective teaching modifications, thereby transforming faculty into scholars of teaching and learning and further developing a collaborative, innovative culture that integrates research on teaching and learning with the practice of teaching.
