"In her characteristically research-based, direct and practical style, Maryellen Weimer provides a much-needed guide, critique and roadmap of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Weimer's new book will be of use to teachers, researchers, and administrators alike, and nicely complements her Learner-Centered Teaching and Classroom Research by Cross and Steadman." --Thomas A. Angelo, Director, University Teaching Development Centre, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
"Yet again, Maryellen Weimer has made a perfectly timed contribution to the pursuit of excellence in teaching and learning. Enhancing Scholarly Work on Teaching and Learning does, indeed, shed clarifying light on the exciting new emphasis on scholarly approaches to teaching. In her distinctively conversational and clear style, Dr. Weimer maps out the nature of pedagogical literature--how to read it and how to contribute to it. As always, Maryellen grounds her work in a wealth of experience that she so skillfully translates into practical suggestions for constructive work. This book is the perfect next step in the journey to understand the benefits of scholarly teaching." --Gary Poole, Ph.D., Director, Centre for Teaching and Academic Growth Founding Director, Institute for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning University of British Columbia
"The revolution called the 'scholarship of teaching' was started by Boyer, but this book puts his ideas and those of many others on the tarmac of reality. It forcefully and convincingly answers the question, 'what's next?' I think it has the potential for laying the foundation for a new discipline of practice comparable to what has been achieved in other disciplines." --Charles Walker, Professor of Psychology, St. Bonaventure University, Olean, NY
