Summary:
I've read countless books on teaching strategies over the years, and I can't think of one that compares--in depth, breadth, accessibility, and practicality--to this one. Tools for Teaching has much to say to teachers of all ranks, disciplines, and institutions. --Mary Deane Sorcinelli, director, Center for Teaching, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
A rich compendium of classroom-tested strategies and suggestions designed to improve the teaching practice of beginning, midcareer, and senior faculty members. Forty-nine teaching tools cover both traditional tasks--writing a course syllabus, delivering a lecture--and newer, broader concerns, such as responding to diversity and using technology.

Great toolkit for teachers
Customer Rating:
This book provides a great toolkit for teachers, especially those of us new to the classroom. It has ideas for teaching techniques, including discussion starters, case studies, and grading methods. As a quick reference for those looking for additional ideas, its purpose is to provide a toolkit of ideas to jumpstart learning in the classroom. It is an easy read meant for quick reference, not a manual to guide you step by step to learn the art of teaching.
Jossey Bass TOOL's for TEACHING
Customer Rating:
Tool's for Teaching by Jossey Bass brings the reality down to a lower level of understanding so the beginning instructor can learn about teaching. It assists the veteran teacher as well by refreshing their memories on the different aspects needed to teach and present the material for their students.
A shortcut for an effective teaching
Customer Rating:
This book is a juice of tens of teaching books that will help teachers to improve their way of teaching, get the message across and interact effectively with their students.
A book with lots of practical tidbits
Customer Rating:
This seems to be a good book for begining college instructors looking for the classroom basics plus some ideas on how to modify some basic formulas to make it a bit more interesting. It manages to keep from getting too bogged down with details about specific strategies. Unfortunately, this is also it's weakness, as I did not find support readily available when I wished to know more about a specific strategy. Worth having as a basic reference.
OK for teaching children - Not for teaching adults
Customer Rating:
This book is written with the assumption that you will be teaching young people in college or below(pedagogy). It is great for that. If you want to get it to learn techniques for teaching adults in the workplace(andragogy), look for another book.
