Summary

"How can faculty integrate the scholarship of teaching and learning into their academic careers? Balancing Acts addresses this question through the experience of four scholars who have been innovators in their own classrooms, leaders of education initiatives in their institutions and disciplines, and pioneers in the scholarship of teaching and learning." "Lessons from these case studies will be of interest to scholars of teaching and learning and their advocates at colleges and universities of all kinds."--BOOK JACKET.
