This Book arguing that improving American higher education requires a focus on effective college teaching.

Furthermore, the text examines existing institutional structures and policies, suggesting reforms to better support and reward effective teaching, particularly for adjunct faculty. Finally, the authors explore various initiatives aimed at improving teaching quality at both the individual and institutional levels.
