Description

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.
About The University of Texas System Academy of Distinguished Teachers
The University of Texas System Academy of Distinguished Teachers was established to recognize outstanding educators across its eight academic institutions, including the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Texas at Dallas, the University of Texas at El Paso, the University of Texas Permian Basin, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, the University of Texas at San Antonio, and the University of Texas at Tyler. The Academy recognizes educators who have demonstrated leadership in education and are committed to improving learning across the UT System. Members of the Academy serve as the System-level advisory and advocacy group dedicated to fostering classroom innovation, promoting interdisciplinary educational perspectives, and catalyzing the sharing of best practices across campuses in the UT System.
