ROCKVILLE, Md. – Over the past 50 years, educational institutions have seen a dramatic increase in the enrollment of adults returning to higher education as well as minority students, those from abroad and individuals with differing learning needs. Dr. Eric F. Grosse Jr. has been in higher education since 1987, and having seen the need to help faculty reach these learners more effectively, he created “CTL Self-Study Tool: Process Improvement for a Center for Teaching & Learning” (ISBN 1482350661; $35.00 US).

In “CTL Self-Study Tool,” Grosse offers CTL administrators and others the steps needed to take in order to improve overall efficiency and efficacy. Written for new centers as well as those reopening or looking to implement widespread change, this guide outlines all needed materials as well as useful procedural suggestions.   

 

Grosse suggests structured self-study for teaching and learning centers due to its widespread acceptance in higher education settings. He highlights the basic elements of self-study for a CTL and what can be achieved through it at the highest level while explaining how to get to there.  

 

With over two decades in the education field in roles as a full-time faculty member, an academic dean and a dean of academic development and training, Grosse brings experience as well as seasoned insight to readers in “CTL Self-Study Tool.” Due to the overwhelming number of challenges facing postsecondary institutions today, it is as important as ever for their CTLs to remain relevant and effective in their methods in order to survive. Grosse hopes that his work offers administrators the tools to do just that.
