Process Improvement for a Center for Teaching & Learning” by Dr. Eric F.
Grosse Jr. uses studies and decades of experience to help readers implement
structured self-study to improve
Teaching and Learning
Centers
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.
“CTL Self-Study Tool: Process Improvement for a Center for
Teaching & Learning” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other
channels.
