The OTLT Center for Teaching is delighted to share the new eighth edition of the Handbook for Teaching Excellence. The handbook supports instructors in navigating their teaching roles and creating meaningful learning experiences for their students. 

The handbook offers opportunities for reflection on learning and teaching experiences and shares evidence-based strategies for planning aligned and equitable courses, developing syllabi, nurturing a sense of belonging for students, and more. You will also find teaching strategies for specific contexts such as a discussion section, a lab, or a service-learning course. Each section has guided reflections and activities to help instructors become scholarly teachers.
