Colleges and states should think twice before reinstating inequitable standardized tests to determine eligibility for high school dual enrollment post-COVID. ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/easyblog/rethi…

Community college programs need a major overhaul. @AspenHigherEd and @CommunityCCRC are launching a new effort to expand post-graduation opportunity for all students. #communitycolleges #equityineducation ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/easyblog/unloc…

Colleges that are serious about creating more equitable transfer pathways have much to learn from Xueli Wang's research.

Dynamic duo!

@ContinuousLrner Right on @ContinuousLrner! Don't obsess over words, find out what actions educators can take to help students poorly served by our institutions to earn degrees that prepare them for good jobs and further learning in fields of interest to them. ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/easyblog/how-m…

Love Dr Al'splanning template aligned with the pillars of Guided Pathways.

See this new report by @CommunityCCRC and @WestEd on how colleges like @AlamoColleges1, @CollegeSinclair, @CCRINews are building #GuidedPathways to college and career opportunity for students and a supply of talent to grow their local economies. ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/publications/g…

Kudos to @AlamoColleges1 for advancing #studentsuccess and #equityineducation while expanding enrollment by connecting @College_Promise students to #guidedpathways to college and career success. washingtonpost.com/education/2022…

Check out this new data tool @meikled_john and I created for community colleges and state systems to use in assessing whether their programs are worth completing and lead to equitable opportunities for all students. #studentsuccess #equityineducation ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/easyblog/how-m…

If your college wants to recruit and retain more students, apply for the free virtual summer institute my colleagues and I at @CommunityCCRC are offering to help reimagine the program onboarding experience with #studentsuccess and #equity in mind. ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/summer-institu…

What we learned from research since Redesigning America's Community Colleges. Check out my conversation with higher ed coach, Dr. Al Solano (@ContinuousLrner) #studentsuccess #equity

@RebeccaTownsend @CommunityCCRC As it is ccs too often let students explore on their own.

Community college picks courses for students in bid to boost completion ihenow.com/2LjIQ19 @DavisJenkCCRC

@RebeccaTownsend @CommunityCCRC Many students are undecided, many don't even know the options. And many will change their minds which if they do early can be a good thing.

@RebeccaTownsend @CommunityCCRC Consumnes and other ccs are redesigning the new student experience to help them explore options and interests.

Did you miss #NewsHourChats on the changing face of #higherEd? @AshASmithNews + @DavisJenkCCRC joined me on @NewsHour to find out why it's about more than "beating the odds" and how #CommunityCollege can help so-called "nontraditional students" achieve. twitter.com/i/moments/9946…

@Dr_Chad_Tew Students with liberal arts degrees can fare well in today's labor market if they also have skills and experience--many will need graduate degrees as well.

@Dr_Chad_Tew Yes, bachelor's degrees, even in technical fields, should include a strong liberal arts component because employers want workers who can think broadly and (we want fellow citizens who can do so as well).

A11: Good examples are workforce or applied bachelor’s degrees offered by community colleges in a number of states designed in collaboration with local employers to prepare older, working and place-bound students for high-demand, career-path jobs. #NewsHourChats 2/3

@InOneFortyRLess @NewsHour For those students, "applied or workforce bachelor's degrees" which are offered by a growing number of community colleges and some universities nationally, are an good option. #NewsHourChats

@InOneFortyRLess @NewsHour While there are many good jobs that students can get with occupational certificates or applied associate degrees in a growing number of fields to move up over time workers would benefit from having a bachelor's degrees.

A11: Bachelor’s or even graduate degrees are increasingly required for advancement in many occupations that in the past did not require them. Workers with technical skills and a bachelor’s are in strong demand for technical jobs in many industries. #NewsHourChats 3/3
