Excerpt:While the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is heralding a new era which will see important advances in primary and secondary education, teachers in higher education are discussing how the inspired work that has marked the past decade will move forward. A golden era has seen the Foundation influence an incalculable number of people, turning the heads and changing the direction of many academic staff in higher education. Teachers have been stimulated to enquire into their own teaching and learning, and to integrate their own research into teaching and learning in more innovative ways. Students have enjoyed the benefits of more engaged and scholarly teachers.
