“This book is Blumberg’s crowning achievement—an extension of her earlier works on learning-centered teaching that serves as a comprehensive course design guide and a reflective workbook for instructors, educational developers, and faculty evaluators. Blumberg has made her book easy to use, featuring eye-catching graphics illustrating processes and construct relationships, highlights and summaries at the beginning and end of the chapters, and an opening table that tells you where to find material addressing issues like STEM courses, underprepared students, and learning-centered pedagogies.”

 – Linda Nilson, Director Emeritus, Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation, Clemson University


“This inspiring, easy-to-understand book--solidly grounded on theory--focuses on learning and ways to implement it. Not only that, it offers numerous rubrics allowing readers to assess the results on individual, course, and instiinstitutional levels. Numerous examples, figures, lists, and tables encourage readers to become actively involved. This highly recommended book is a rare achievement in academia.”

 - Barbara Millis, former Director, Teaching and Learning Center at U of T at San Antonio


“This practical, evidence-based guide promotes excellence in teaching and improved student learning through self-reflection and self-assessment of one’s teaching. Phyllis Blumberg starts by reviewing the current approaches to instructor evaluation and describes their inadequacies. She then presents a new model of assessing teaching that builds on a broader base of evidence and sources of support.”
“From this new model Blumberg has developed self-assessment rubrics, for a variety of disciplines. To illustrate the model she includes case studies of completed critical reflection rubrics from a variety of teaching venues to show how they can be used in different ways and how to explore the richness of the data you’ll get"
