An Expert Teacher
Content knowledge is crucial to good college teaching. But knowledge about who our students are and how they learn is an equally essential component of expert teaching, say the authors of this issue's Thriving in Academe. Cognitive theory, the psychosocial development of students, and the impact of the political, the social, and the economic on the classroom are some of the topics they consider.
