Abstract:
Since 1990 the researcher has spent 444 hours with 58 professors at three universities developing a nonthreatening approach to observing faculty as they teach. The five "lessons professors can learn" contained in this paper are couched in the teacher behaviors identified by Rosenshine and Furst (1971): Enthusiasm, Clarity, Variability, Business-like environment, and Opportunity to Learn. An examination of these teacher behaviors and the degree to which they are present in college of agriculture classrooms are addressed in this paper.
