8.5 x 11", 593 pages, soft cover Education is a journey of discovery for both the learner and the teacher. There can be a lot of twists and turns along the way.

These topics are packaged in short, comprehensive two to four page modules, making it easy to quickly absorb, research, apply, and disseminate new teaching/learning knowledge and classroom innovations. The Faculty Guidebook will enhance your understanding of the various contexts of education and development: professional, learner, intellectual, institutional, and self development, serving as an authoritative resource that fosters transformation in these five areas. The fourth edition of the Faculty Guidebook contains 146 modules, blending theory and practice in an easy-to-use format.
