Book Synopsis Redesigning America’s Community Colleges by : Thomas R. Bailey
Download or read book Redesigning America’s Community Colleges written by Thomas R. Bailey and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, 1,200 community colleges enroll over ten million students each year—nearly half of the nation’s undergraduates. Yet fewer than 40 percent of entrants complete an undergraduate degree within six years. This fact has put pressure on community colleges to improve academic outcomes for their students. Redesigning America’s Community Colleges is a concise, evidence-based guide for educational leaders whose institutions typically receive short shrift in academic and policy discussions. It makes a compelling case that two-year colleges can substantially increase their rates of student success, if they are willing to rethink the ways in which they organize programs of study, support services, and instruction. Community colleges were originally designed to expand college enrollments at low cost, not to maximize completion of high-quality programs of study. The result was a cafeteria-style model in which students pick courses from a bewildering array of choices, with little guidance. The authors urge administrators and faculty to reject this traditional model in favor of “guided pathways”—clearer, more educationally coherent programs of study that simplify students’ choices without limiting their options and that enable them to complete credentials and advance to further education and the labor market more quickly and at less cost. Distilling a wealth of data amassed from the Community College Research Center (Teachers College, Columbia University), Redesigning America’s Community Colleges offers a fundamental redesign of the way two-year colleges operate, stressing the integration of services and instruction into more clearly structured programs of study that support every student’s goals.

Download or read book The American Community College written by Arthur M. Cohen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it was first published in 1982 The American Community College has become the primary resource that faculty, administrators, trustees, and researchers look to for a comprehensive analysis of the most recent findings and up-to-date information on the American community college. Throughout this important book, Arthur M. Cohen and Florence B. Brawer describe how community colleges fit into the American educational system, the services they provide, and the effects they have on the community. This completely revised and updated edition contains information about recent changes in the community college landscape, including consolidation of faculty power, mandatory testing and placement of students, the greater prominence of developmental education, and the attention given to state-level directives regarding institutional functioning and funding. The authors also present the current information on a number of other topics, including student flow, instruction, student services, and curricular functions. In addition, The American Community College includes updated tables and graphs that reflect the most current data and incorporate new examples of the services that colleges provide. The American Community College is a comprehensive book that will be useful to anyone concerned with the role and purpose of two-year institutions in American higher education. The descriptions and analyses of each of the institution's functions can be used by administrators who want to learn about practices that have proven successful at other colleges, curriculum planners involved in program revisions, faculty members seeking ideas for modifying their courses, trustees and officials concerned with college policies regarding curriculum and student services, and graduate students preparing for careers in these institutions.

Download or read book America's Community Colleges written by Allen A. Witt and published by American Association of Community Colleges(AACC). This book was released on 1994 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "America's Community Colleges: The First Century", Allen A. Witt, James L. Wattenbarger, James F. Gollattscheck, and Joseph E. Suppiger narrate the history of the first hundred years of American community colleges from the perspective of the 1990s. The authors show how junior colleges helped democratize education in American and became part of a long tradition that includes grammar schools and land-grant colleges. The authors take the reader on a grand tour of the personalities that shaped the community college movement and the state boards, associations, and colleges that helped build its momentum. Along the way, the authors debunk some of the myths that have haunted two-year institutions and uncover some surprising facts. The authors also discuss the baby boom's effects on the growth of community colleges, the efforts of African Americans to join AACC's Board of Directors, the controversy surrounding the first junior college, and the history of the very words "community college." Comprehensive and readable, "America's Community College" is the foremost work on the history of "the people's college." -- From publisher's description.
