University of Texas Press The Little Orange Book II: Student Voices on Excellent Teaching
The Little Orange Book II: Student Voices on Excellent Teaching is an anthology of essays on the topic of excellent teachers, teaching, and learning, written by students, university presidents, and faculty from across the University of Texas System’s eight academic institutions. Unlike the essays in the Academy’s first publication, The Little Orange Book: Short Lessons in Excellent Teaching—which can be downloaded for free on Apple iBooks—the 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. This book offers extraordinary insight into the minds of students attending college in twenty-first-century Texas and is intended for all of those interested in university teaching and education more broadly.

University of Texas Press The Little Orange Book: Short Lessons in Excellent Teaching
The Little Orange Book captures reflections and tips on teaching and learning from the sixteen members of the University of Texas System Academy of Distinguished Teachers. Its many vignettes span a wide range of topics and teaching interests, from establishing a safe learning space to classroom silences, from curriculum development to modeling the best teachers, and from giving thanks to those teachers who came before us to leaving our own legacies. The Little Orange Book is the perfect text for first-time college instructors who are just getting started on their instructional careers, as well as longtime faculty who have many experiences in the college-level classroom. This book is written exclusively by members of the Academy of Distinguished Teachers for the UT System. This program of recognition for teaching excellence started in 2013, and there are now a total of seventeen faculty members from across the UT System in the academy. To the editors' knowledge, this is the only system-wide academy of teaching excellence in the entire nation.
