Teaching in the Disciplines

Home » Teaching » Teaching in the Disciplines

We want to provide you with access to information and resources for teaching in your discipline. Thus, we have begun to collect web links to major peer reviewed journals, national professional organizations and web-based resources that have been recommended by our faculty and others in the field. This collection offers a good starting point for those of you who are just becoming acquainted with teaching in your discipline or who might want ideas to reinvigorate your classrooms. Additionally, we hope this serves as a quick reference point to keep up with the latest on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning for your discipline.

This resource is continuously updated, and we welcome your input in the form of comments and suggestions on how to make this collection more comprehensive.

Please send additional suggestions for resources to ctfe@gmu.edu.
