The Best Teachers Institute works globally to help colleges and universities create dynamic new learning opportunities for their students, boost retention and graduation rates, enhance their public profile, and strengthen academic integrity on their campuses.
Best Students and Teachers:
An exciting new section of our Web Pages: Resources on how students can learn more deeply and how teachers can foster that deep learning. Follow this link to a whole new section of our Web site. On each of the home pages in this section of our site, scroll down to find rich resources for students and teachers, and (soon to come) parents.
Drawing on a long-term and ongoing study of the most effective teachers and teaching practices in higher education, the Best Teachers Institute collaborates with faculty and administrators to transform their curricula, courses, and even individual class sessions into powerful new learning experiences for their students.
The Institute’s offerings include interactive workshops for faculty on both face-to-face and online teaching; individual consultations on program, curriculum, and course development; reviews and recommendations of existing programs or courses on campus; and sessions on building a culture of academic integrity on college campuses for students, faculty, and administrators.

Educational Consulting
The Best Teachers Institute team can work with administrators and faculty to analyze, assess, and improve existing departments and programs on campus; help design, launch and assess new initiatives, including dynamic and unique online offerings and MOOC's; help schools address retention, graduation, and other vital issues; and assist institutions as they create evidence-based practices, the Creative Campus, Natural Critical Learning Environments, and focus on fostering Adaptive Expertise. We bring to this practice over forty years of combined experience in higher education administration, as well as extensive research backgrounds in educational design and assessment.
