By Ken Bain, Harvard University Press, 2004. According to its description, this book is based on a 15-year study and concludes that "it's not what teachers do, it's what they understand." The best teachers know their subjects well, but also know how to motivate and challenge their students. They believe "that teaching matters, and that students can learn."

By Jennifer Gonzalez, Students column, The Chronicle of Higher Education, April 10, 2011. Studies conducted by MDRC have found that, "while students [in learning communities] do make academic gains, such as progressing more quickly through developmental courses, the gains don't persist beyond the semester students are involved in the learning community." Authors acknowledge that these are early findings and that later findings may prove different results.
