Summary

"This volume profiles some of the innovative reforms community college practitioners are engaged in, focusing on supporting students through to graduation. Much has been written at the federal and state levels about the need to improve student completion rates; this volume translates that imperative into action at the campus level. With most chapters written or cowritten by practitioners, the volume presents their voices and experiences in the work of changing academic content, pedagogy, student support services, and other critical components of community colleges. Each chapter focuses on either a particular campus-based reform or on a cross-cutting approach or set of issues relevant for most campuses. The volume highlights opportunities, describes challenges and how they were overcome, and provides guidance that can be used by other postsecondary practitioners involved in large-scale -- campus, multi-campus, or system-level -- reforms that aim to increase student success"--Page 4 of cover
