Unlike the essays in the Academy's first publication, The Little Orange Book: Short Lessons in Excellent Teachingwhich can be downloaded for free on Apple iBooksthe essays in The Little Orange Book II focus less on strategies for effective teaching and more on students' perspectives on what elements combine to create the unique constellation of characteristics that excellent teachers possess. The result is a mosaic of voices that call attention to a range of relevant topics, from the role educators play in improving the mental health of students, to the unique university experiences of nontraditional students and student athletes, to the need for empathy when dealing with students.
