Wouldn't it be neat to be able to choose your college based on the quality of the institution's teaching? Wait- isn't that what we do? As it turns out, no. Because we don't measure that. Jonathan Zimmerman, author of The Amateur Hour and Professor of Research of History at Penn University , is now a qualified Pencil Buster! Jon wrote in August's edition of the Washington Monthly on Why Professors Can't Teach. And why can't they? Well, because no one every taught them how!

So, what's the answer? How do we teach professors how to teach? Let's start with ACUE. Busted Pencils proudly announces a partnership with ACUE, the Association for College and University Educators.
