Teaching with Style is a book that can be accessed for free using this link. Written by an award-winning psychologist and teaching professor, the book was created to enable the reader to discover about himself/herself as a teacher and a learner. In addition to content about Grasha's well-known teaching style theories, the book discusses "clusters" of teaching, and different methods and ideas for teaching based on your cluster.

This is the full pdf of Anthony Grasha's research on teaching styles (and learning styles). This goes much more into depth than my 15 min. power point.

This is a pdf of a whole book, but Chapter 4 (p154) is particularly pertinent to my presentation on teaching styles. It goes over the 5 teacher styles, 4 teacher style clusters, types of teaching methods associated with each cluster, as well as factors to consider when choosing a teaching method. It also contains more of the details and backgrounds in Grasha's research on teaching styles.

This article, written by Jim Kirkpatrick (son of Donald Kirkpatrick), offers a modern-day look at the 'reaction sheets' used to evaluation customer or learner satisfaction. He offers insight on trainer vs. learner-centered reaction sheets in order to improve learner experiences.

Differentiates "learner centered" vs" trainer centered" evaluation questions

level 2: learning

Fairly quick inventory to assess one's learning style. Comes with bonus hints for study tips on your learning style at the end of the .pdf!

Lengthy, more in-depth, albeit still interesting read on the application of Knowles' andragogical principles to interfacing with technology

Great way to keep track of what you should have in a syllabus.

This document serves as an official guide for the implementation and maintenance of all CPE programs. Those wishing to offer CPE programs for credit will need to seek accreditation, which this document provides a guide for as well.

A study evaluating the efficacy of a package insert compared to a video demonstration or an in person demonstration as a mode of teaching a patient how to use a metered dose inhaler. A great article to support the need for pharmacists providing counseling to patients, and shows an example of how demonstrations can be helpful even outside the classroom.

This research describes the development and validation of an Active-Learning Inventory Tool to measure active learning in the classroom. This tool was tested within pharmacy lectures. Additionally, provides a list of different active learning strategies broken down by complexity.

This resource was not included in my lecture; however, it is a great list of resources.  At NC State, there is a class on Metacognition and Learning (ECI 709). This website is a link to the articles page for the course.  There is a long list of references separated into categories.  Two great things about this website is 1) it's public (so you don't have to be on NC State's campus) and 2) some of the references link to PDFs of the articles.  

This document written by ACPE provides guidelines for the development and oversight of pharmacy education programs. The most recent revision of standards occurred in 2007, and are set to be reviewed in the 2013-2014 academic year. There are six categories of standards which provide the institution, student, faculty member, and staff guidelines for successful administration of a Doctor of Pharmacy program. The standard of mission, planning, and evaluation ensures that a school has mission and goals relevant to the vision of pharmacy practice to serve the needs of society. The standard of organization and administration includes recommendations for the internal and external functions of the school to be harmonious with their mission and goals. The standards for curriculum ensure that a thorough foundation of coursework is provided for a student to "contribute to the profession of pharmacy thoughout their career". The standards for students ensures that the school has adequate resources to support their education, where as standards for faculty and staff ensure the school has fair and equitable resources to attract and retain faculty. The standards for facilities and resources ensures an appropriate environment for a high quality education is offered.

The experiential education directors at all accredited pharmacy schools were contacted to determine what the greatest challenges are that face their programs

This article (which our very own Dr. Haines authored) from the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education is a great reference that discusses types of questions as well as strategies for asking effective questions.

This PDF excerpt provides a general overview of the various models of the experiential learning process that Kolb used to create his modern-day model. It also describes the characteristics of experiential learning derived from these models.

Penn State - 2007. Addresses specific examples of active learning stratgies to employ in class, including examples from professors. Professors speak on their methods and how to apply it to students
