"The instructors we hire have good craft skills, but they do not have very good skills in teaching. The consequence of this lack of teaching skills is that our students are not being as successful as they might be, either in class or after they get a job."
"Too many of our students are dropping out".
"The one-shot introductions to teaching we offer often do not stick; we need something that our instructors can return to again and again, if necessary. Our instructors do not understand how to motivate their students. Classroom management is a real problem for some of our instructors."
At the request of technical institutes around the country the Georgia Center for Educational Renewal at Georgia Southern University has developed a series of interactive lessons presented on CD. These lessons present research-based teaching skills to address instructional problems identified by technical institute directors.
