Recenzii
Working toward an Equitable and Prosperous Future for All, an outgrowth of the Community College Consortium for Immigrant Education, is the first volume in a two-book series that touts community college programs focused on providing equity and access to immigrants. Community college leaders offer effective strategies and "reliable roadmap[s]" (p. 24) to chart college and career success among some of the country's most vulnerable populations. Each chapter acts as an insider's view into innovative programmatic and curricular opportunities and, according to Walter Bumphus, president and CEO of the American Association of Community Colleges, "practical models for change" (p. viii). Framed through the lens of dynamic leadership, the volume portrays the power of partnerships and the effective and creative leadership that encourages immigrants as they pursue academic degrees and prepare for careers that will transform their lives. The cutting-edge programs described here are mission driven and fueled by passion, community partnerships, and contextualized curricula to ensure that immigrants have the confidence and employment skills needed to achieve career success. Ultimately, this study is a guidebook of programs and best practices in immigrant education that could be replicated on campuses across the nation. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels.
The Community College Consortium for Immigrant Education has provided a significant set of resources with the publication of the companion books, Working Towardan Equitable and Prosperous Future For All: How Community Colleges and Immigrants Are Changing America and Working Together: How Community Colleges and Their Partners Help Immigrants Succeed. Community colleges are the natural choice for immigrants to learn the skills needed to adapt to a new environment and to become successful contributors to American society and our economy. These companion books, written by experienced community college leaders and other experts in the field, provide valuable information to assist our colleges to develop and strengthen programs for this important group of students.
These books offer deep insight into the most promising, innovative models for addressing barriers to economic opportunity for immigrants and English language learners and understanding how partnerships can help strengthen, sustain, and replicate this work. You could spend the next few years traveling across the country to meet these thought leaders and see their programs in action. Or you can acquire the knowledge from the frontlines in this two-volume compendium.
This publication elevates critical work community college executives and frontline practitioners have led in establishing inclusive institutional strategies and programs for immigrant and refugee students. Community colleges across the country act as the bridge to the middle class and careers with economic mobility. Community college leaders committed to equitable student success can benefit greatly from the promising practices highlighted in the chapters of this CCCIE publication.
A book with solutions! As community college practitioners, we must quickly create workforce solutions for emerging career opportunities for diverse industries and diverse communities. This book: Working Toward an Equitable and Prosperous Future for All: How Community Colleges and Immigrants Are Changing America, provides us with many solutions to meeting our current and future workforce challenges for our immigrant communities.
The authors have further informed the consciousness of each reader by providing applicable strategy. Community College executive leaders now have an additional roadmap to borrow from while they begin, create, or enhance their institutional approaches to deeper inclusive practices. This text reinforces beyond the aspirational and achieves sharing tangible proven practices. These are discussions and questions necessary for all of our communities and create a platform for current and future leaders to spring forth.
In communities across the country, community and state colleges serve as the backbone of the region's workforce and economy, ensuring that invaluable opportunities for prosperity are available to all. This includes immigrants who, as new Americans, should have equal access to the opportunities that higher education offers. This book sheds light on the important work being done to ensure that pathways to college and careers are open to anyone seeking a prosperous future and to contribute to this great nation.
