Publisher's Synopsis
Each year since 1981, the Carnegie Foundation and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education receives and reviews over 600 nominations for their prestigious Professor of the Year award. Together with a group of higher education experts, Carnegie and CASE conduct interviews with the candidates, looking for excellence in numerous areas: impact on and involvement with students; service to students, institution, community, and profession; and a scholarly approach to teaching. Several rounds of judging narrow the field, culminating in prestigious state and national, including Canadian, Professor of the Year awards. Inspiring Teaching is a fascinating collection of essays written by recent Carnegie Professors of the Year. The book′s chapters range from the pragmatic to the philosophical, offering snapshots of outstanding teachers at work in their classrooms.
