The Teaching Community: Recreating University Teaching.
Macdonald, Ian
Teaching in Higher Education, v6 n2 p153-67 Apr 2001
Traces growth of the Teaching Community model at Australia's Monash and Swinburne universities; the model uses group meetings to encourage professional development of teaching staff. Elaborates on the model's successes and why it has been powerful in bringing about change in an area known for resistance, and proposes conditions required for this on-site, low-cost approach to improving college teaching.
