Independent Colleges and Universities that focus on the liberal arts often have a mission and academic infrastructure to support teaching improvement, and it should be celebrated! Yet, more can be done. In this video, you will explore a multi-institutional observational study covering more than 700 higher education courses in a range of contexts, from regional public universities to highly ranked private universities, from small liberal arts colleges to large flagship universities.

Corbin Campbell, a renowned author, presents her insights in her 2023 book, published by Harvard Publication Press. Titled Great College Teaching: Where It Happens and How to Foster It Everywhere, the book maps the terrain and discusses teaching improvement within a spectrum of academic contexts across multiple disciplines and for various course settings.

Dr. Campbell delineates the pinnacle of teaching excellence found within exemplary institutions, where evidence-based methods like equity-based and culturally relevant teaching enrich student learning. Additionally, she outlines the essential policies and cultural frameworks required to prioritize teaching and foster faculty development.
