The Journal of Effective Teaching is a peer reviewed electronic journal devoted to the discussion of teaching excellence in colleges and universities. The Journal of Effective Teaching publishes two regular issues per year and possibly a special issue on a current topic. The regular issues contain articles in two broad Content Areas: effective teaching and the scholarship of teaching. Contributors are invited to share their insights in pedagogy, innovations in teaching and learning, and classroom experiences in the form of a scholarly communication. Articles which draw upon specific-discipline based research or teaching practices should elaborate on how the teaching practice, research or findings relate across the disciplines.
