I think dismissing "best practices" entirely is a bit extreme, but there are some good points about reflecting and adapting if a "best practice" isn't producing the outcome you want. What's really great in this article, though, is the way Bonnie Stachowiak talks about drawing inspiration from high profile exemplars for practices when can be authentic to her style.

Interesting online tool for examining your perspectives on teaching (broken down into beliefs, intentions, and actions). The guidance to have a specific type of course or student in mind seems powerful; are you a different teacher for majors and non-majors, first-years and seniors?

An English professor presents three activities designed from a strategy of disruptive pedagogy. In order to break students out of their accustomed digital isolation, the professor introduces elements of social discomfort into the classroom. In extreme cases, he surprises students with pizza to keep them on their toes.
