Education in general and higher education in particular stands at the threshold of reformation with increasing calls for redress and the ensuing policies in the local context. The wide array of problems, resulting from a large variety of sources, leaves individuals as well as the organizations attempting this daunting feat simply wondering where to begin? This paper precisely takes up this question, and identifies that the primary and immediate change is needed in the way teachers undertake classroom teaching. Based on empirical evidence collected from teachers involved with tertiary education and a critical review of the background literature related with effective instruction, a framework for training teachers is proposed in the backdrop of increasing faculty training and development initiatives. The framework comprises two recommendations: first, teachers need to be provided orientation towards the teaching process with its stages from start to end with a clear understanding of the teacher and students’ roles; and second, they must be made to reflect upon their teaching philosophy which governs and ultimately shapes their instructional input and decisions.
