"I have been participating since last summer in the Learning Resources Network (LERN) program for certification as an online instructor. I have taken four courses for this certification so far and have read four textbooks on online instruction. By far 'A Fieldbook for Community College Online Instructors' offers the most practical and overall helpful information in one book of those I have read."

Many school reforms have been mandated by state and national legislation over a thirty-year period. Accountable Teacher Evaluation provides the blueprint necessary to assure that highly qualified and competent teachers will be present in every classroom. Competence is manifested in classroom teaching and delivery to students and in student outcomes. Evaluation of faculty by competent administrators is necessary to document either competency or lack of competency in classroom teaching.

Edited by Desna L. WallinForeword by George R. BoggsA major issue for most community and technical colleges is providing part-time faculty with appropriate support and pedagogical assistance. Academic administrators are responsible for the hiring and direct supervision of adjunct faculty, but a number of factors—such as lack of current teaching experience or preoccupation with other administrative functions—may keep them from sufficiently providing for the needs of this critical group. This book provides models of support for adjunct faculty and highlight the important connection between teaching quality and effective hiring, orientation, acculturation, and professional development practices for adjunct faculty.

Community colleges have long been recognized for their success in providing affordable access to higher education for all and for serving the nation’s workforce needs. Their substantial civic and cultural contributions are now also capturing the attention of businesses and of policymakers at the highest levels of government.
Why? Because research shows that art, design, and culture are integral to developing and strengthening an information- and technology-based economy:
• Creative communities attract talent and jobs.
• Growth in demand for technology-based jobs that incorporate arts and design is outpacing the national average job growth rate.
• The U.S. industries that are most likely to continue producing their goods within the United States are those that rely on expertise in technology, fashion, and design.
• Arts- and crafts-based enterprises produce significant wealth for local and national economies.
By mining the creativity and talent residing within their own communities and developing partnerships with businesses, community colleges are fueling economic development and revitalization—locally, nationally, and internationally. Cool Community Colleges illustrates the ingenious ways in which schools are meeting the needs of students, communities, and businesses while also addressing the greater economic goals of the nation.

Richard Alfred, Christopher Shults, and Jeffrey Seybert
In today’s competitive environment community colleges are challenged to deliver value and to measure performance in ways that are meaningful to different groups. Forward-looking institutions are investing in assessment and capitalizing on returns. Unfortunately, many colleges do not have the resources, the technology, or the capability to produce credible data documenting student and institutional performance. For this reason, our colleges continue to be vulnerable to policymakers’ questions about performance on traditional measures of student success. And eventually they will encounter questions about their contribution to something considerably beyond stakeholders and the immediate community—the well-being of a nation.

George A. Baker III and Associates
Baker and associates explore the ways community college leaders shape the cultures of their colleges. The authors discourage outworn processes of reacting to crises, limiting subordinates’ access to information, and controlling decision making through a rigid hierarchy. The work presents a model of leadership in which leaders create an institutional culture that anticipates and manages change effectively.
