Dr. WhiteHorse guides faculty through four major areas. The first begins with discussing the critical concepts needed to successfully transition from clinician to educator, including helping new educators adjust and better understand the academic environment. Next, the essential and fundamental information faculty should know about accreditation, program development, curriculum design, and course design is presented. Third, she presents the building blocks teachers use every day related to course and syllabus development and assessment. In the last area, she focuses on evidenced-based teaching and learning concepts, principles, and practices that support student learning and retention. Real experience examples, suggested resources, and activities help make the concepts and information easily understandable and immediately applicable.
