Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College completion gaps have been steadily rising with minority students in higher education. The California Community College system is largely comprised of a disproportionately disadvantaged student population. The Student Success Act was an attempt by the state legislature to address the inequities facing racially minoritized students in community colleges. As the state of California's diverse population continues to increase, the need to address these issues are apparent. Disproportionately impacted students are the central focus in this study to assess the impact that the Student Equity Policy is having at the institutional level. A mixed methodology is applied to survey students, faculty, staff and administrators on the effectiveness of the Student Success Program to generate future policy recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book employs a socio-cultural approach to study the organizational dynamics and experiences of self-formation that shape community college life. The authors use case studies to analyze both the symbolic dimension and practices that enable the production of educational experiences in seven community colleges across the U.S. Levin and Montero-Hernandez explain the construction of organizational identity and student development as a result of the connection between institutional forces and individual agency. This work emphasizes the forms and conditions of interaction among college personnel, students, and external groups that were enacted to respond to the demands and opportunities in both participants local and larger contexts. The authors acknowledge both the collective and individual efforts of community college personnel to create caring community colleges that support nontraditional students.

Book Synopsis Overcoming Educational Racism in the Community College by : Angela Long
Download or read book Overcoming Educational Racism in the Community College written by Angela Long and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overall, nearly half of all incoming community college students “drop-out” within twelve months of enrolling, with students of color and the economically disadvantaged faring far worse. Given the high proportion of underserved students these colleges enroll, the detrimental impact on their communities, and for the national economy as a whole at a time of diversifying demographics, is enormous.This book addresses this urgent issue by bringing together nationally recognized researchers whose work throws light on the structural and systemic causes of student attrition, as well as college presidents and leaders who have successfully implemented strategies to improve student outcomes.The book is divided into five sections, each devoted to a demographic group: African Americans, Native Americans/American Indians, Latino Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and Caucasian students in poverty. Each section in turn comprises three chapters, the first providing an up-to-date summary of research findings about barriers and attainments pertaining to the corresponding population, the second the views of a community college president, and the final chapter offering a range of models and best practices for achieving student success.The analyses--descriptions of cutting edge programs--and recommendations for action will commend this volume to everyone concerned about equity and completion rates in the community college sector, from presidents and senior administrators through faculty and student affairs leaders. For educational researchers, it fills blanks on data about attrition and persistence patterns of minority students attending community colleges.ContributorsKenneth AtwaterGlennda M.

Book Synopsis Community College Puente's Influence on California's Mexican-American Students by : Miguel P. Molina
Download or read book Community College Puente's Influence on California's Mexican-American Students written by Miguel P. Molina and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a social justice and equity perspective, this qualitative research study focused on the California community college Puente project as a best practice and its influence's related to transfer for Mexican-American students. The Puente project founded in 1981 by Patricia McGrath and Felix Galaviz is a three-component intervention consisting of writing, counseling, and mentoring. The two-semester long Puente program, supplemented by concurrent enrollments in career and transfer courses uses Latino cultural literature as class readings, as well as a team of Latino role models to help students persist and transfer. Puente programs are provided in 62 out of 112 California community colleges (CCC) (Puente, 2013). A policy report indicated that over a million future jobs with a minimum of a bachelor's degree will need to be filled in California (Johnson & Sengupta, 2009). This fact, coupled with a forecasted demographic growth that the Latino population will reach 43% by the year 2025 (Johnson & Sengupta, 2009). These predictions are magnified by the majority of Latino high school graduates choosing to enter community college as their first choice of a higher education pathway at 69.4% (College Campaign for Opportunity, 2013). Latinos are the ethnic majority at 38.9% in California community colleges in 2014 (CCLC, 2014). The crisis is that Latinos are also among the lowest academic performers in key milestones for transfer and degree completion success (Moore & Shulock, 2010). The research on Puente provided a best practice needed to aid in CCC reform to help Latinos persist, transfer and complete their degrees. The purpose of this research was that it studied how the Puente project influenced Mexican-American students in their acquisition of "college capital" used to persist in community college, successfully transfer to a four-year university, and complete their bachelor's degrees. The study further researched how Puente helped Mexican-American students to both balance and navigate between the cultural crossroads of two worlds: the academic world and their home communities. The research used theoretical frameworks of critical race theory (CRT) (Delgado & Stefancic, 2012) and Latino critical race theory (LatCrit) (Solórzano & Delgado Bernal, 2001), funds of knowledge (Moll, Amanti, Neff & González, 1992), and community cultural wealths (Yosso, 2005). This unique research study provided Mexican-American students who were success stories and had completed the year-long Puente program, transferred to a four-year university and earned their bachelor's degrees. This research was unique because for every 100 Mexican-Americans entering schooling only 8 reached the level of a bachelor's degree completion (Yosso & Solórzano, 2006). A phenomenological method of one to one interviews was utilized so that this research could provide reflective narratives of six Mexican-American Puente project alumni. The students were from a diverse urban, metropolitan community college in the Sacramento, California area. The findings from the research showed how the Puente program through its comprehensive services served as an entry point for campus resources and services. Puente also provided Latino role models, cultural pedagogy, a home/family setting, high standards for writing, road maps for transfer and degree requirements, and an element of care for these participants. Another layer of findings showed how the Puente interviewees brought with them to the community college experience inner motivations fueled by lifelong messages from their parents and funds of knowledge (Moll, Amanti, Neff & González, 1992). Puente, by capitalizing on these two layers, structured a schooling environment that promoted cultural validation and a sense of belonging (Rendón, 2000). This structuring helped the Puente students to become empowered and persist, while gaining the self-confidence and motivations (college capital) to transfer and complete their bachelor's degrees. These findings resulted in the researcher's creation of a college capital model, and policy and recommendations regarding individual, institutional and future research were included.

Book excerpt: Policy efforts in California have set a vision and expectation for community colleges to address a systemic problem—persisting racial disparities in educational outcomes and opportunities. To achieve equity—a social and economic imperative—community colleges have sought to adopt equity minded approaches to changing practitioner beliefs and redesigning existing structures to match the diversity of experiences of today’s community college students. This qualitative study explored the implementation of equity in eleven community colleges in California. Semistructured interviews with current equity coordinators at these campuses were conducted to examine challenges and opportunities for equity efforts from their perspective. While this study views equity as a shared responsibility of the entire institution, equity coordinators have a unique lens for the good, the bad, and the ugly about their institutions’ readiness to commit to a mission of equity. Transcripts from these eleven interviews were analyzed for major themes. The findings revealed institutional barriers and opportunities within six domains: (a) policies and practices, (b) attitudes and dispositions, (c) politics and power dynamics, (d) structure, (e) institutional culture, and (f) data practices. Adopting equity as a standard of practice in community colleges benefits racially minoritized students and society as a whole. Recommendations for policy and practice include embracing an equity minded approach to inquiry, planning, and implementation. Further, institutions must be willing to embrace innovation and perseverance as they work through the pains and discomforts of resistance to change and accountability.
Book Synopsis Queer & Trans Advocacy in the Community College by : Joshua Moon Johnson
Download or read book Queer & Trans Advocacy in the Community College written by Joshua Moon Johnson and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LGBTQ+ advocacy and support continues to be a priority in the U.S. higher education, and recent research shows this as a critical population who continues to be marginalized and mistreated on college and university campuses. Over the last few decades there has been significant research describing how LGBTQ students experience higher education and highlighting that these students are not graduating or succeeding at the same rates as the general population. However, few if any research studies or articles address LGBTQ advocacy on community college campuses. There are more than 1,000 community colleges in the U.S. Even with the extraordinary number of students that the community college system educates, approximately 15 institutions nationally have paid staff to provide LGBTQ services to students. That being said, community colleges are now putting a larger emphasis on understanding and supporting this community. For example, The California Community College (CCC) system’s 116 colleges now require all campuses to create a plan on how to improve success rates of LGBTQ+ students. The CCC is the largest higher education system in the country serving over 2 million students. This comprehensive practitioner focused book will combine relevant research and guidance on practices to aid colleges in establishing services and programs to build effective LGBTQ+ services on their college campuses. ENDORSEMENTS: "Read. This. Book! Our community college LGBTQ+ students are crying out for support and understanding. They want to thrive and succeed at our colleges and we need to develop our capacity to listen, learn and engage with this critical student population.” — Lori M. Berquam, Mesa Community College “As President of the Association of California Community College Administrators (ACCCA), I see the value “Queer and Trans Advocacy in the Community College” adds to our call for equity and justice. This is an effective and practical tool for anyone who wants to understand how to be an advocate, accomplice, and ally to our LGBTQ+ family. Written with freshness, honesty, intensity, and power.” — Wyman M. Fong, Association of California Community College Administrators (ACCCA) "I am thrilled to see new research on LGBTQ+ needs on Community Colleges. The number of LGBTQ+ Centers on university campuses have grown over the last 20 years but most colleges do not have LGBTQ+ Centers. This book expands the knowledge, dialogue, and efforts in LGBTQ+ services for students at Community Colleges. It is an exciting new resource for Community Colleges." — Bruce E. Smail, Indiana University “Queer & Trans Advocacy in the Community College is good old fashion truth telling. An honest critique of the barriers systems impose on people and in particular those from the LGBT+ communities. The call to action is palpable and the guidance actionable. Community Colleges must welcome the challenge and aggressively respond to the pervasive needs of the Queer and Trans communities.” — Melanie Dixon, Los Rios Community College District “Queer & Trans Advocacy in the Community College is a ground-breaking book. It offers valuable insights into the challenges that LGBTQ+ community college students face, and it provides concrete suggestions for how colleges can help this vulnerable population achieve their academic and career goals. This should be a must-read for every community college professional who is dedicated to improving the diversity, equity, and inclusion climate at their college.“ — Erika Endrijonas, Pasadena City College

An Examination of Whether District Structures Relate to Institutional Efficiency and Student Success Among California's Community Colleges written by Sharon Beynon and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the impact on student success of district structure, organization and other institutional characteristics in California Community Colleges (CCCs). Controlling for institutional characteristics related to demographics of the student body, urbanicity, and institutional size, the study asked if the structure of the district (in which CCCs operate) accounts for variation in institutional student success measures. The study further asked whether student success significantly correlates with the proportion of a college's expenditures related to student instruction, the percentage of full-time faculty, or the ratio of faculty to administrators. Using Mintzberg's (1979) organizational structures as a theoretical framework, the study contrasted sing single-college districts (SCDs) and multi-college districts (MCDs). The research used data gathered from both California Community College Chancellor's Office (CCCCO) DataMart, as well as from the Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The data was examined quantitatively using regression analysis, bi-variate correlation analysis, t-tests, and F-tests. The study found a significant association between the type of district that a college belongs to and several measures of student success. The study also found a significant association between the percent of full-time faculty at the college and student success, and a significant association between the percent of the budget spent on instruction and student success. Outside of the research questions, the study also found a significant positive association between college size, as measured by full-time equivalent students (FTES), and student success and a significant negative association between the percent of students on BOG (Board of Governor's) waiver and student success.

Book Synopsis The Role of California Community College Trustees in Growing Latina/o Leadership by : Michelle Yanez-Jiminez
Download or read book The Role of California Community College Trustees in Growing Latina/o Leadership written by Michelle Yanez-Jiminez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The Latino student population in the California Community College System has surpassed the White student population as the largest sector. However, the academic achievement of Latino students trails behind that of White students, creating an achievement gap. The number of Latina/o trustees is also on the rise with voting demographics. However, the number of Latina/o CEO/presidential leadership is in decline. Latino policy makers can be instrumental in the creation of a diverse campus climate and growing the number of Latina/o CEOs. Diversity and role models are linked to improving educational outcomes for all students, particularly for Latino students. This quantitative study examined the impact of demographic and political factors on the perceptions of problems and priorities of California Community College Trustees. The dependent variable was the likelihood that trustees would agree that it was their role to promote the growth of Latina/o leadership. The demographic variable of interest was ethnicity and the study examined the differences in responses among Latina/o, White and other trustees. This study explored factors that may contribute to the steady decline of Latina/o CEO leadership and those that might aid in the growth of Latina/o leadership. This study confirmed that there are significant differences in the perceptions and priorities of Latina/o and White trustees. It was found that all trustees believed that the Latino achievement gap was a concern; however, while Latina/o and White trustees believed the gap persisted because of the growing number of remedial students and budget cuts, Latina/o trustees also believed that the gap persisted because of limited Latina/o representation and role models. The perceptions and priorities of Latina/o trustees are shaped by culture expectations and minority status, which influence their interests to help Latino students and increase the number of Latina/o leaders. White trustees do not share the same experiences but do share the interest to help Latino students because their role is to serve all students. This study confirmed that Latino trustees were more likely than White trustees to agree that it was their role to promote the growth of Latina/o CEO leadership. However, the perceptions and priorities of White trustees have a significant impact on the role of Latina/o trustees in growing Latina/o leadership.
