There are a number of books focused on the craft of college-level
teaching. However, the vast majority of those books are tailored to
tenure-track faculty. A number of specialty books also have been
published, including texts on balancing teaching and research,
techniques for teaching certain types of students (e.g.,
first-generation), and techniques for teaching for certain types of
instructors (e.g., African-American women). Online resources are
available, but locating material can be time-consuming. The target
audience for The Essentials of College Teaching: A Guide for New
and Adjunct College Instructors are adjunct (non tenure-track)
instructors. Adjuncts now constitute 76.4 % of U.S. faculty across
all institutional types, with a staggering 80% at two-year
institutions. Although teaching a heavy load, adjuncts are not
typically included in on-campus professional development
opportunities to improve their teaching skills. This book would be
particularly helpful for first time or relatively novice
college-level instructors, including doctoral graduate students
teaching their first sections, new community college instructors,
and new four-year college and university instructors. It's designed
to get novice instructors through their first term, nerves intact
and students satisfied. Recommendations are based on empirically
supported best practices for teaching, while aiming for a concise,
slightly irreverent, occasionally humorous style of writing.
