The Role of Faculty Development Programs in Helping Teachers To Improve Student Learning through Writing.
Caldwell, Elizabeth Ann; Sorcinelli, Mary Deane
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n69 p141-49 Spr 1997
Suggests faculty development programs based on writing-to-learn can foster more effective teaching, by providing opportunities for faculty and teaching assistants to develop new teaching skills and to integrate scholarship and teaching, by changing faculty approaches to teaching and learning, by providing a forum for sharing talents and perspectives across the institution, and by improving teaching without requiring more time.
