Book excerpt: From 1988 to 2006, between 40% and 60% of all first-time community college students are referred to and enroll in at least one developmental education course; some colleges reported as high as 80 percent (e.g. Attewell, Lavin, Domina, & Levey, 2006; Bers & Smith, 1991; Bettinger & Long, 2005; Boughan & Clagett, 1995; Brawer, 1996). More students begin college less prepared in math than any other developmental area (e.g. ACT, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009; Attewell, Lavin, Domina, & Levey, 2006; Bettinger & Long, 2005; Cartnal, 1999). The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the relationship between a set of predictor variables and student persistence for persons enrolled at a state-supported two-year community and technical college system. The Collective Affiliation model, based on previous student persistence research in the Tinto tradition, was created and used was in this study specifically for community college, commuter and distance education students. The participants were Kentucky Community and Technical College students enrolled in the developmental math course, MT065, Basic Algebra. The predictor variables were student demographic characteristics, and variables related to work, family and academic factors. The dependent variable was persistence (defined as re-enrollment or the awarding of a credential or transfer). The results revealed academic factors have the greatest influence on persistence. It provides nuances and further insight into developmental education students while calling into question the validity of sociological constructs. Lastly, the study shows how state and local policy can have an impact on student persistence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distance education offers the potential to further the mission of the community college in significant ways. However, the practice of education will not change without corresponding changes in our fundamental views of teaching and learning as these are reflected in the total of our state, federal, and institutional policies. In many ways the community college offers other sectors of higher education a vision for the future. This issue of New Directions for Community Colleges presents some of the policy issues confronting higher education in the age of distance learning, and discusses the implications of these issues for the community college. This is the 99th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Community Colleges. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals section.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universal Design in Higher Education looks at the design of physical and technological environments at institutions of higher education; at issues pertaining to curriculum and instruction; and at the full array of student services. Universal Design in Higher Education is a comprehensive guide for researchers and practitioners on creating fully accessible college and university programs. It is founded upon, and contributes to, theories of universal design in education that have been gaining increasingly wide attention in recent years. As greater numbers of students with disabilities attend postsecondary educational institutions, administrators have expressed increased interest in making their programs accessible to all students. This book provides both theoretical and practical guidance for schools as they work to turn this admirable goal into a reality. It addresses a comprehensive range of topics on universal design for higher education institutions, thus making a crucial contribution to the growing body of literature on special education and universal design. This book will be of unique value to university and college administrators, and to special education researchers, practitioners, and activists.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes trends in technology and learning that are influencing community colleges. Chapter 1, presenting results from a 3-year, 700 college study, concludes that colleges will become more learning-centered, find it difficult to maintain services and open access as student demands increase and resources shrink, form more partnerships, offer more remedial education, and be subject to more accountability mandates. In chapter 2, lessons from Maricopa County Community College (Arizona) indicate that educators must "critique, envision and create" rather than just buy technology to meet the needs of the learner. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 examine administrative, faculty and student services strategies that make use of emerging technologies. Chapters 6 describes user support models based on survey responses from 114 colleges. Chapter 7 details attributes of successful computer-based instructional programs that serve basic skills students. Chapter 8 traces the development of distance learning and its emerging role in instructional programs. Chapter 9 explores changes in culture, policies, practices and other essential college characteristics that accompany changes in technology. Chapter 10 describes technology-driven marketing strategies that help recruit students, secure funding, and enhance the institution's image. Chapter 11 explores the impact of the Internet on higher education. Contains 52 figures, 221 references and 6 survey forms. (PGS)

Book excerpt: Skilled technical occupationsâ€"defined as occupations that require a high level of knowledge in a technical domain but do not require a bachelor's degree for entryâ€"are a key component of the U.S. economy. In response to globalization and advances in science and technology, American firms are demanding workers with greater proficiency in literacy and numeracy, as well as strong interpersonal, technical, and problem-solving skills. However, employer surveys and industry and government reports have raised concerns that the nation may not have an adequate supply of skilled technical workers to achieve its competitiveness and economic growth objectives. In response to the broader need for policy information and advice, Building America's Skilled Technical Workforce examines the coverage, effectiveness, flexibility, and coordination of the policies and various programs that prepare Americans for skilled technical jobs. This report provides action-oriented recommendations for improving the American system of technical education, training, and certification.

This book was released on 2017-08-25 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educating dual language learners (DLLs) and English learners (ELs) effectively is a national challenge with consequences both for individuals and for American society. Despite their linguistic, cognitive, and social potential, many ELsâ€"who account for more than 9 percent of enrollment in grades K-12 in U.S. schoolsâ€"are struggling to meet the requirements for academic success, and their prospects for success in postsecondary education and in the workforce are jeopardized as a result. Promoting the Educational Success of Children and Youth Learning English: Promising Futures examines how evidence based on research relevant to the development of DLLs/ELs from birth to age 21 can inform education and health policies and related practices that can result in better educational outcomes. This report makes recommendations for policy, practice, and research and data collection focused on addressing the challenges in caring for and educating DLLs/ELs from birth to grade 12.
