Based at Pennsylvania State University, the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence was created "to advance and inspire excellence in Penn State's teaching and learning community." Many of the fine resources on this site are broadly applicable to anyone teaching college students. The materials here are divided into eight primary areas, including Events, Consultations, Grants, Tools/Tips, and TAs/Grad Instructors. The Tools/Tips area is marvelous, as it contains sections, such as Course Design and Planning and Teaching and Assessment Strategies, that feature fact sheets, lesson plans, and the like. Moving on, the TAs/Grad Instructors area contains helpful advice for graduate student teachers, such as "Guide to interacting with students," and "Guide to effective grading." [KMG]
