Teaching is essential to programs in public affairs and administration. Our students look to our faculty for substantive, enlivening courses. Effective pedagogy, therefore, requires on-going attention. Faculty members are both producers and consumers of pedagogical innovations. Yet beyond the publication of textbooks, those learning resources often enjoy only limited distribution and use. This compendium brings together a broad array of teaching and learning resources on public affairs and administration, and each is directly available via a web link. Thousands of these types of resources are available to faculty in our field; some of them developed by university instructional centers to address common concerns, such as academic integrity, course design, diversity, collaboration, and testing, or new technologies. Many comprise the work of colleagues in NASPAA-member institutions, offering cases, syllabi, and a broad range of teaching resources pertinent to the public and non-profit sectors. Among these are several published textbooks that are the foundations for most of our course offerings. This project builds on inspiration from the Public Administration Teaching Roundtable initiative, by an informal group of academics centered in the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan area that met regularly in the 1970s and 1980s to discuss innovative means for enlivening the classroom. With the advent of web- based links to publications and other teaching resources, broader opportunities for disseminating such educational innovations are now more readily accessible through the Internet.
