Foreword
Becoming an effective teacher, like becoming an effective par-
ent, is not necessarily an innate skill in everyone. Granted,
some people have stronger instincts toward teaching, but most
of us benefit from learning, being mentored, and practicing the
teaching role. Education for students is far more than merely
learning information. It is learning how to think, act, problem-
solve, and develop team-working skills and knowing one’s own
skills and areas for improvements.
For faculty to be useful guides, mentors, and role models,
they, like their students, benefit from learning about how peo-
ple learn, the skills and techniques of contemporary instruction,
including both classroom and clinical, and the important tools
of evaluating learner attainment of the instructional goals.
In 1987, Chickering and Gamson1 outlined seven princi-
ples for good teaching in undergraduate education. These
principles state that good teaching:
1. encourages contact between students and faculty;
2. develops reciprocity and cooperation among students;
3. encourages active learning;
4. gives prompt feedback;
5. emphasizes time on task;
6. communicates high expectations; and
7. respects diverse talents and ways of learning (p. 121).
Now, more than two decades later, these principles remain a
useful framework when considering teaching for nurse
educators because they acknowledge the roles played by both
students and faculty in the learning exchange. It is the respon-
sibility of the faculty member to provide content for the
