To improve the academy

the long version

"This volume presents twenty-two contributions from authors across an array of institutions on a variety of topics. Some focus on providing insights on the preparation and support of those engaged in doing the work of teaching and learning: faculty and staff colleagues, graduate students, and even undergraduates. Others share research on improving teaching and learning within different campus contexts. Some contributors offer center- or unit-focused insights that suggest pathways for continued growth and development of our practice and profession. Still others encourage us to expand our horizons by providing a view of our work from an international perspective. We have organized the chapters in this volume to reflect that various levels at which our work as developers has impact on our colleagues, our campuses, and our craft."--Preface.
