The SEI was successfully implemented in two institutions (University of Colorado Boulder and The University of British Columbia) over a period of 10 years. This Handbook shares the SEI\u2019s accumulated wisdom of practice in how to implement a department-based initiative, focusing on faculty learning and course transformation facilitated by Discipline-Based Educational Specialists (DBESs). DBESs may be postdoctoral fellows, instructors, or other faculty. The Handbook is aimed at institutional leaders, faculty, and education specialists wishing to create or implement a department-level change initiative for broadening faculty use of effective teaching practices.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nA print-on-demand version of the SEI Handbook is available for purchase via Amazon<\/a>.
