Publisher's Synopsis

Community colleges face pressure to "do more with less" that have prompted many college leaders to consider fundamental changes to the ways they have typically done business. Because piecemeal solutions have not often been effective or efficient, colleges are moving far beyond discreet "programs" or "interventions," and are attempting to implement comprehensive reform efforts.

This volume conceptualizes comprehensive reform as being marked by:

  • a focus on student success;
  • a theory of change that ties programmatic components together in an intentional and cohesive package, implemented at multiple levels throughout the college and touching the majority of students; and
  • a culture of evidence that uses data to continuously assess programs and processes against student success.
Presenting original analyses that describe the rationale for comprehensive reform, this volume examines the challenges involved in implementing, evaluating, and sustaining those efforts.

This is the 176th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.
