Recognising the advantages of using experts in teaching and learning in different subject areas to support the development of new and experienced teachers in that area, the series will provide practical, accessible guides, grounded in consideration of the subject material of the discipline concerned. Around twenty books will be produced in total, with some splitting and splicing of topics, and the possibility of some cross-disciplinary guides to be included in the series. The books will be varied in format, but all books will be practice-orientated, making use of relevant research in the pedagogy of each subject area and likely to include case studies, advice and guidance based in experience. Most will be edited collections, but the series will include some monographs and some co-authored books. Books in the series will be around 60,000 to 80,000 words long, there will be some flexibility in this according to the discipline areas.
Text is likely to be interspersed with tables, illustrations, checklists and diagrams.
The series will appeal to UK and international audiences alike Royalties for books on the series will be shared between the ILT and the authors. The initial series editor will be Sally Brown, Director of Membership Services of the Institute for Learning and Teaching. Decisions on publication will be taken jointly by the series editor and the publisher's commissioning editor. Please use the following author guidelines in the production of your proposal.
