The ABCs of Case Teaching

Writing a manual on case teaching is more than a bit intimidating. Like all excellent teaching, it is an art, not a science; good case teaching comes from the heart, created by the mix of the teacher's personality, knowledge, expertise, and students. No one path leads to good case teaching. So writing a how-to book seems an act of hubris

It is probably best to think of what follows as a set of guidelines to "adapt not adopt" to your own personal style and level of comfort. You will likely disagree with pieces of what we offer. There are many variants of case teaching as there are case teachers.

-- From the Preface

The Institute extends its sincere compliments to the authors of this case teaching guide. Through the dedicated efforts of Vicki Golich, Mark Boyer, Patrice Franko and Steve Lamy, the elements of good case teaching are presented in a clear, concise, user-friendly format for all interested faculty to read and discuss.
