Yesteryear, when funds were plentiful and faculty performance demands and expectations were less stringent, faculty development was nice to have, but it was rarely considered crucial to the survival of an institution of higher education.

Today it's serious; college and university faculty, especially adjunct and part-time faculty are immersed in problems, hired quickly without adequate instructor training, pushed to the limits of endurance, and expected to perform at high levels of outcome reaching excellence. "Houston, we have a problem!" What's the answer? Here's an affordable solution you should consider. It's unique and and based on the Critical Success Factors of teaching improvement and success generation.

Recommendations

Great Results, Expert, Creative: I wish I could have chosen more than three top attributes that best describe Jack and his "Teaching For Success" program. I am one of the early users this publication at two very different community colleges in Pennsylvania—a large suburban one, and a smaller rural one. 

In both instances I have found Jack to deliver exactly what we needed at both schools, giving great service, top quality in what he provided, and a commitment to customer service. 

His depth of knowledge and creativity, combined with his flexibility and easy manner made it a wonderfully gratifying relationship at both colleges. His integrity cannot be surpassed! I have nothing but the highest praise for Jack Shrawder.

~Gary Rizzo, Vice President of Academic Affairs/Provost at Reading Area Community College

********************************

This Quick Course provided tools that will assist me in creating more productive lesson plans. I believe that the strategy involved in developing effective lesson plans were offered in an appropriate and effective manner. 

I was able to recall structuring the objectives using Bloom’s Taxonomy, which every educator should be familiar with.  A very important quote from the course, “A good lesson plan helps you carry out the all-important task of setting goals and describing how you will reach them.”  

“A lesson plan is the road map or framework used to plan and conduct every class from first meeting to final exam.”  This is the heart of why I enjoyed this course.

 ~C.Anderson, Instructor, Westwood Colleges

********************************

…my institution, KCKCC, has subscribed to Jack's Teaching For Success for quite a few years. His writings and editorial skills have shown me he's very well suited for those endeavors. I have always been impressed with TFS articles and the always helpful "Quick Hints" section and they have been helpful in my courses for assisting my students through their learning process.

I am now excited that I am able to communicate with him directly and look forward to benefiting from our connection as I have no doubt will happen! Thanks Jack for being the dedicated educational professional you are!

From 2001 to 2005, Jack provided excellent delivery of an outstanding product to College of the Desert (Palm Desert, CA). The Faculty Development Committee depended on his company's publication to assist faculty with learner-centered methods and techniques. The delivery method and the product was PERFECT and the faculty expressed ongoing appreciation for the service.
