These important, but often invisible, individuals contribute daily to the education of students within the US postsecondary educational system. This volume covers a variety of experiences, such as: Faculty of color teaching intercultural communication International teaching assistants' attitudes toward their US students The challenges to existing cultural assumptions in the US classroom. These experiences--in the form of challenges and contributions--are foregrounded and highlighted in their own right. This is the 138th volume of the quarterly Jossey-Bass higher education series New Directions for Teaching and Learning. It offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques for improving college teaching based on the experience of seasoned instructors and the latest findings of educational and psychological researchers.
