The challenge is not only to enter the classroom and reach the students, but also to make it an enjoyable experience that promotes learning. The TEAL Compendium emphasizes active learning and other techniques that will support the learning process. Community and technical colleges in Texas now have a practical tool that can be used for on-going faculty professional development for years to come. The learning modules provide faculty to learn when they want, what they want, and where they want. It is worth noting that there is more to teaching than just good technique.
Good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher.
Good teachers are those who refuse to harden their hearts because they love learners, learning, and the teaching life .
