Putting the Research on Learning Into Practice by Terry Doyle. Forward by Todd Zakrajsek.
I discovered this book around the last part of 2011. Dr. Z (Todd Zakrajsek) was the invited speaker at a UA faculty workshop at the Bryant Conference Center. He is a psychology professor at UNC and friend of the author of the book. I'm about half-way through this book and have found it to be very helpful in the way I lead my library instruction sessions. The book, in a nutshell, is about ways to move to an audience-centered format of teaching rather than lecture-information-data-dump style of teacher speaking and students taking notes and having little participation.
So far this is a good and helpful read!
