Teaching Unprepared Students: Strategies for Promoting Success and Retention in Higher Education
"This book offers a practical and excellent resource for college and university faculty on how to enhance retention for students, particularly those who might need assistance transitioning from high school to college." -- Christine A. Stanley, Executive Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, Texas A&M; University "Kathleen Gabriel has put together an inspiring tableau of what constitutes good teaching and learning for the majority of faculty in their interactions with current students. I believe that most of our students are at-risk; those that would get through without much help from us are cheated out of an excellent education. I especially enjoyed the interweaving she consistently does between issues of teaching effectiveness and assessment of student learning. Kathleen Gabriel has created a professor-friendly discussion for all those concerned with classroom success." - Judy Diane Grace, Ph.D., Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence"
