Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addressing the unique issues related to the delivery of student services in the community college setting, this book fills a longstanding need to provide practitioners with a contextual framework for their work. Starting by providing the historical context to the development of student affairs in community colleges, this handbook describes the organization of key functions and current practice, and looks at the specific constraints, opportunities, changes and future challenges that practitioners face.Community colleges are grappling with: the realities of shrinking resources; an increasingly diverse and disparate student body, with many attending part-time; demands for greater accountability; a generational change in leadership; and pressures to expand their missions as well as adopt educational technology – all of which have an impact on the role of student affairs.Among the topics covered are: Partnering with Academic Affairs; Financing Student Affairs; Legal and Policy Issues; Strategic Planning and Assessment; Accreditation and Accountability; Technology for Communication and Engagement; Academic Support Services; Student Life and Student Engagement Programs and Services; Enrollment Management; and Services for Special Populations.This handbook is intended for student affairs administrators and professionals at all stages of their careers, as well as for students in graduate preparation programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student Success in Community Colleges As more and more underprepared students enroll in college, basic skills education is an increasing concern for all higher education institutions. Student Success in Community Colleges offers education leaders, administrators, faculty, and staff an essential resource for helping these students succeed and advance in college. By applying the book's self-assessment instrument, colleges can pinpoint how their current activities align with the most effective proven practices. Once the gaps are identified, community college leaders can determine the best strategic direction for improvement. Drawing on a broad knowledge base and illustrative examples from the most current literature, the authors cover organizational, administrative, and instructional practices; program components; student support services and strategies; and professional learning and development. Designed to help engage community college leadership and practitioners in addressing the practices, structures, and obstacles that enhance or impede the success of basic skills students, the book's strategies can be tailored to various institutional levels, showing how to unite faculty, staff, and administrators in a cooperative effort to effect institutional change. Finally, Student Success in Community Colleges reveals how investing in a comprehensive basic skills infrastructure can be a financially sustainable model for the institution as well as substantially beneficial to students and society. "This is a most unusual and valuable book; it is packed with careful analysis and practical suggestions for improving basic skills programs in community colleges. Compiled by a team of practicing professionals in teaching, administration, and research, it is knowledgeable about what has been done and imaginative and practical about what can be done to improve the access and success of community college students." K. Patricia Cross, professor of higher education, emerita, University of California, Berkeley "For its first hundred years the community college was committed primarily to access; in its second hundred years the commitment has changed dramatically to success. This book provides the best road map to date on how community colleges can reach that goal." Terry O'Banion, president emeritus, League for Innovation, and director, Community College Leadership Program, Walden University "This guide is the most comprehensive source of information about all facets of basic skills or developmental education. It will be invaluable not just to community college educators across the nation, but also to those in high schools and four-year colleges who share similar problems." W. Norton Grubb, David Gardner Chair in Higher Education, University of California, Berkeley

Download or read book Graduate Students’ Research about Community Colleges written by Deborah L. Floyd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a collection of chapters with different research designs that explore the research, practice, and policies of community colleges. The chapters in this book are the result of the graduate students and their faculty mentor’s scholarly work, and a rigorous special issue’s peer review process. Furthermore, this book offers recommendations on how to mentor graduate students, in the absence of research and mentorship on how to publish for graduate students and practitioner-scholars, as well as recognizing that graduate programs and professional associations are important on the socialization of practitioner-scholars. Each book chapter addresses the implications for practice and future research, policy for community colleges, and recommendation for change indicated by the research results. Five broad research themes, higher education policy, leadership practices and roles, network community, student success, and technology, emerged from the empirical articles and critical reviews. A final chapter shares advice and lessons learned from the 30 authors and mentors. With the exception of Chapter 14, the chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Community College Journal of Research and Practice.

Download or read book A Comparison of Perceptions of Campus Environments and of Student Services Functions with Institutional Vitality in Private Colleges written by G. William Snodgrass and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to compare perceptions by faculty, students and administrators of the campus environments of eight small, independent liberal arts colleges in Oregon and to determine if similar or like perceptions of the environment lead to greater vitality in each of the colleges studied. In the context of the study, vitality refers to the ability of the institution to function effectively or optimally. A random sample of 50 junior and senior resident students, 20 full-time teaching faculty and 7 administrators were selected for testing on each of the campuses using the Institutional Functioning Inventory to measure perceptions. Following are the eleven scales: 1. Intellectual-Aesthetic Extracurricular 2. Freedom 3. Human Diversity 4. Concern for Improvement of Society 5. Concern for Undergraduate Learning 6. Democratic Governance 7. Meeting Local Needs 8. Self-study and Planning 9. Concern for Advanced Knowledge 10. Concern for Innovation 11. Institutional Esprit The following null hypotheses were tested: 1. There are no significant differences between faculty, students, and administrators at each college in the study in their perception of the campus environment. 2. There are no significant differences in the nine colleges studied in the manner in which their environments are perceived by faculty, students and administrators on all scales totaled. 3. There is no demonstrable relationship between divergent perceptions of the campus environment by faculty, students and administrators and institutional vitality. 4. There is no demonstrable relationship between divergent perceptions in areas of the campus environment that are of concern to student personnel services and institutional vitality. Statistical analysis of the data resulted in the rejection of null hypotheses one and two. Significant differences were found among the three groups, faculty, student, and administrators, in 28 out of 88 comparisons at the colleges studied. The groups differed most often on the scales that measured perceptions in the dimensions of personal and academic freedom, diversity in faculty and student backgrounds, concern for undergraduate education and campus decision-making. The data suggested that students as a group did not share the perceptions of their faculty and administrators at four of the eight colleges studied when responses to all eleven scales of the inventory were totaled for faculty and administrators and on six scales for students. Students tended to perceive the campus environment less positively than either faculty or administrators. The most positive perceptions were noted among administrators. A major conclusion of the study was that in the population samples, the presence of shared or congruent perceptions of the campus environment by faculty, students and administrators did not have a demonstrable relationship with the vitality of the college and its ability to function effectively. Null hypotheses three and four were retained. Further results of the study indicated that, at the colleges studied, significant differences exist between students and administrators in their perceptions of the campus environments in areas of special concern to student services personnel. Differences, statistically significant at the .05 level of confidence (in five instances at the .01 level) were noted at seven of the eight colleges in areas including campus governance, personal freedom (life style, values) and diversity in student backgrounds. Colleges in the study which described themselves as conservative and church-related had lower overall college mean scores, suggesting lower vitality, than did non-sectarian colleges. The church-related colleges, however, had fewer significantly different perceptions between faculty, students and administrators, scale-by-scale, than did the non-sectarian colleges suggesting a greater sense of community and singleness of purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published with This timely volume addresses the urgent need for new strategies and better ways to serve community colleges’ present and future students at a time of rapid diversification, not just racially and ethnically, but including such groups as the undocumented, international students, older adult learners and veterans, all of whom come with varied levels of academic and technical skillsThe contributing researchers, higher education faculty, college presidents, and community college administrators provide thorough understanding of student groups who have received scant attention in the higher education literature. They address the often unconscious barriers to access our institutions have erected and describe emerging strategies, frameworks, and pilot projects that can ease students’ transition into college and through the maze of the college experience to completion. They offer advice on organizational culture, on defining institutional outcomes, on aligning shifting demographics with the multiple missions of the community college, on strengthening the collaboration of student and academic affairs to leverage their respective roles and resources, and on engaging with the opportunities afforded by technology.Divided into three parts – understanding today’s community college campuses; supporting today’s community college learners; and specialized populations and communities – this book offers a vision and solutions that should inform the work of faculty, administrators, presidents, and board members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twentieth century, Americans have increasingly looked to the schools--and, in particular, to the nation's colleges and universities--as guardians of the cherished national ideal of equality of opportunity. With the best jobs increasingly monopolized by those with higher education, the opportunity to attend college has become an integral part of the American dream of upward mobility. The two-year college--which now enrolls more than four million students in over 900 institutions--is a central expression of this dream, and its invention at the turn of the century constituted one of the great innovations in the history of American education. By offering students of limited means the opportunity to start higher education at home and to later transfer to a four-year institution, the two-year school provided a major new pathway to a college diploma--and to the nation's growing professional and managerial classes. But in the past two decades, the community college has undergone a profound change, shifting its emphasis from liberal-arts transfer courses to terminal vocational programs. Drawing on developments nationwide as well as in the specific case of Massachusetts, Steven Brint and Jerome Karabel offer a history of community colleges in America, explaining why this shift has occurred after years of student resistance and examining its implications for upward mobility. As the authors argue in this exhaustively researched and pioneering study, the junior college has always faced the contradictory task of extending a college education to the hitherto excluded, while diverting the majority of them from the nation's four-year colleges and universities. Very early on, two-year college administrators perceived vocational training for "semi-professional" work as their and their students' most secure long-term niche in the educational hierarchy. With two thirds of all community college students enrolled in vocational programs, the authors contend that the dream of education as a route to upward mobility, as well as the ideal of equal educational opportunity for all, are seriously threatened. With the growing public debate about the state of American higher education and with more than half of all first-time degree-credit students now enrolled in community colleges, a full-scale, historically grounded examination of their place in American life is long overdue. This landmark study provides such an examination, and in so doing, casts critical light on what is distinctive not only about American education, but American society itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify factors that influence the rate of acceptance of technology by student services professionals in California Community Colleges. The theoretical framework is based on the Technology Acceptance Model that identified perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as predictors of technology acceptance. The study also explored the extension of subjective norm, and three facilitating conditions of inclusion in system selection, training, and system support. The study was conducted in a background of theory of student services and the increasing role of technology used in delivering services to students. The quantitative study consisting of 19 Likert-scale survey items was used to gather responses and analyze data from 246 individuals who subscribe to listservs maintained for communication with student services staff and administrators in California Community Colleges. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were valid constructs in the California Community College environment, and that inclusion in the system selection process, the availability of training and professional development, and having system support available, are facilitating conditions influencing technology acceptance. Student services professionals in California Community Colleges believe that technology can be used to deliver many of the services supporting student success, and that many of these services will soon be offered through technology at their college. The beneficiaries of this study are college administrators responsible for student services and those responsible for the allocation of resources to support such efforts, information technology professionals responsible for the development or selection of technology systems, and the student services professionals who adopt technology systems for their own use and for use by students.
