The purpose of assembling this "New Directions in Teaching and Learning" volume was to introduce college and university teachers to a broad range of approaches that reflect evidence-based teaching (EBT). As each of the preceding chapters has shown, EBT not only can increase student learning across a variety of measures, it also can increase student engagement in, and enjoyment of, learning. Pedagogical practices that result in high levels of student learning and enjoyment of learning are hallmarks of excellent teaching. In addition, EBT formats, processes, and outcomes clearly align with Chickering and Gamson's (1987) seven principles for good educational practice. This chapter briefly summarizes what has been learned about evidence-based teaching in the preceding chapters and calls for renewed emphasis on preparing teachers to teach well and conduct empirical pedagogical research.
