At the Crossroads of Pedagogical Change in Higher Education

"Every so often, higher education needs to pause to consider who delivers courses, how we deliver them, and who is enrolling in them so that we may better answer the larger questions of the purpose of our work. For whom? For what purpose? What is our measure of success? Burdick and Hallman dig deeply into the heart of teaching and learning at higher education institutions. We should all pause, consider, and reconsider."

"I have seen no other book do what this book does so elegantly. Burdick and Hallman have created a formula to interlace narrative with foundational publications to tell the story of faculty development through the experiences of faculty development leaders. Thanks to the engaging narrative style, supported by evidence, this book depicts the complex and changing field of faculty development."

Todd Zakrajsek, Associate Professor and Associate Director of Fellowship Programs, Department of Family Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

"This book would be a valuable tool for any current or future faculty developer. It provides a clear perspective on the various goals that a CTL could pursue and gives narrative examples of staff developers from across the country engaging in these pursuits. Burdick and Hallman provide insightful discussions surrounding implementation of DEI, teacher evaluation, and online education in higher education. Alongside these aims, the authors bring to light common barriers of CTLs and how to successfully navigate these obstacles."
