The Foundation invites your response at: CarnegiePresident@carnegiefoundation.org. With respect to [this] posting (January, 2004), Carnegie Foundation president, Lee Shulman notes: This month's piece is from our vice president, Pat Hutchings. Pat came to the Foundation in 1998 from the American Association for Higher Education and was previously chair of the English department at Alverno College. She has written widely on the investigation and documentation of teaching and learning at colleges and universities, especially on teaching and course portfolios and on peer collaboration and review of teaching. This commentary on improving teaching addresses efforts to enable conversations between and among faculty members and administrators that will lead to improved teaching and learning. We hope that you'll find it adds to those conversations and eases the way for like efforts on your campus." |

Rick Reis' Introduction "These developments represent real progress. Teaching, like any craft or art, advances when people find like-minded colleagues to work with, review their efforts, and push them to the next stages of thinking. The communities that have grown up around different teaching approaches are doing wonderful and important work." |
