Over the years, I've mentored many novice assistant professors on the challenges of teaching in the college classroom. Their first year is often fraught with an array of predictable roadblocks and pitfalls. <i>The Teaching Road Map: A Pocket Guide for New Teachers</i> provides a thoughtful way in which novice teachers can reflect on the broader issues of teaching and how they impact everything from classroom delivery to assessment. This will become my standard gift for all my graduating doctoral students.
