Download or read book Expanding College Access for Urban Youth written by Tyrone C. Howard and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book demonstrates why there needs to be a more thoughtful and collaborative effort on the part of K–12 schools, as well as institutions of higher education, to provide better college access to students from low-income communities. Building on a 10-year case study of a successful school-university partnership, the authors examine the supports, mentoring, and resources needed to transform the college opportunities and life chances for under-represented urban youth. Featuring first-hand accounts from student participants, the book documents how the model provided college access to some of the most selective and prestigious universities across the nation. Because this partnership situates college access within a social justice framework, it is one of the more unique programs in the country. “Few social problems are of more pressing importance than the challenge of increasing access to higher education. Howard, Tunstall, and Flennaugh carefully outline those problems and give us our marching orders. Historical. Empirical. Well-written. Thoughtful. Provocative. This book is useful for all of us concerned about access and equity in education.” —William G. Tierney, professor & co-director, Pullias Center for Higher Education, University of Southern California “This book represents a moral and ethical call to any of us who believe in an educational pipeline for liberty, humanity, possibility, and justice for all—everyday!” —H.

Download or read book Partnerships and Collaboration in Higher Education written by Pamela L. Eddy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current context in higher education is becoming increasingly complex. Coupled with this organizational complexitiy of operations is a climate of diminishing resources and funding for education in general. Calls for educational reform and limited resources make collaborative responses an attractive option because of the ability to pool talent and resources. Collaborative efforts take many forms. Partnerships may emerge from insitutions working together, departments working across institutions or with community partners, or colleges and universities pairing across national borders. Likewise, collaborations may emerge between and among faculty members that resemble more traditional research projects. From these faculty collaborations, organizational partnerships may then develop. This monograph explroes the key building blocks required to create successful joint ventures. One section reviews partnerships from an institutional perspective, another covers individual collaborations, and a section on future issues identifies threats to partnerships, emergence of international partnerships, and steps to create strategic partnerships. The target audience for this volume includes those interested in developing partnerships or better supporting existing alliances. Administrators with a goal of using partnerships to parlay organizational strengths while saving resources can anticipate problems with the formation of partnerships, undersnd the elemtns that provide support for group work, and learn how to frame the partnership to leverage commitment through a shared vision. Faculty interested in collaboration will find many valuable insights regarding the right questions to ask before committing to a project. And policymakers and grant-funding agencies can use the information to craft mandates and grant language to best support successful partnerships. ultimately, understanding the process of developing partnerships can result in more successful collaborations. This is Vol 36 Issue 2 of the Jossey Bass Ashe Higher Education Report. Each monograph in the series is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Book excerpt: This work provides school change leaders with tools, techniques, tips, examples, illustrations, and stories about promoting school change. Tools provided include histograms, surveys, run charts, weighted voting, force-field analysis, decision matrices, and many others. Chapter 1, "Introduction," applies a matrix for asking questions about change in four typical scenarios. Chapter 2, "Asking the Right Questions," presents critical questions regarding five stages of school improvement: preparation, focus, diagnosis, plan development, and implementation/monitoring. Chapter 3, "Answering the 'Where Are We Now?' Question," discusses ways to use data on student achievement, perceptual data, and the need to clarify roles and responsibilities. Chapter 4, "Answering the 'Where Do We Want to Go?' Question," applies the initiation, planning, and training stages of three models. Chapter 5, "Answering the 'How Will We Get There?' Question," contrasts the planning, training, and implementation stages of three relevant models. Chapter 6, "Answering the 'How Will We Know We Are (Getting) There?' Question," explores elements of assessing outcomes and reveals the importance of accurate monitoring. Chapter 7, "Answering the 'How Will We Sustain the Focus and Momentum?' Question" demonstrates the need for such critical elements as maintenance, institutionalization, and the PDCA tasks of check, act, and adjust plans. Chapter 8, "Bonus Questions" includes additional guidance for administrators on other aspects of school-improvement efforts.

Download or read book Building Capacity Within a School university Partnership written by Brooke LeAnn Grant and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While partnerships in education are not new, they have garnered much interest and investment of late. School districts around the nation are joining with a myriad of partners including members of the community, businesses, educational partnership organizations, and colleges and universities. While in the past schools tended to forge partnerships on an invited or voluntary basis, today many of our lowest performing schools in economically challenged communities are pressed to rely on various partnerships as a turnaround model to increase student achievement. If partnerships are being touted by federal, state, and local governments as a reform that will raise student performance and improve our neediest schools, the nature of such partnerships from the initiation phase through the evaluation and sustainability phase needs to be examined from the perspectives of those involved in the partnership.^This study analyzed a school-university partnership intended to reform science teaching in an urban school district. The collaboration under study engaged many members within the community, with its partners including stakeholders from the university, K-12 schools, a science museum, a global Fortune 300 engineering company, a cancer research center, a private medical research organization, a service-learning coalition, and a school district parent coordinating committee. The study examined the roles that these various stakeholders played in the partnership and explored the extent to which the partnership builds capacity amongst its stakeholders.^The research adapts the concept of civic capacity (Stone, Henig, Jones, & Pierannunzi, 2001) and narrows it to focus on this particular school-university partnership as the unit of analysis in order to study the extent to which capacity may be built within a particular school-university partnership which intends to use collaboration as a means to reform science teaching. The building of capacity was examined through four key elements which have their roots in Stone et al. 's (2001) civic capacity framework. The essential elements for building capacity explored include (a) shared vision of goals for the partnership; (b) cross-sector mobilization of a coalition; (c) proper mix and amount of resources; (d) appropriate and detailed plan. It was found that the partnership's strengths are its ability to enlist a wide variety of stakeholders from various sectors of the community around the idea of improving science education in schools.^The partnership was also able to garner a proper mix and amount of resources, which many stakeholders viewed as a success. However, the stakeholders had a diffuse vision of the desired goals and outcomes of the partnership which affected the ability of the stakeholders to mobilize around a shared concern. Further, in terms of civic capacity, the community in which the partnership is situated within has provided a weak infrastructure, that negatively affects the building of capacity within the partnership. These findings emphasize the need for those forging partnerships in education to build an infrastructure that will ensure that all stakeholders are meaningfully engaged and a plan is in place to develop broad and generalized agreement in the direction and magnitude of the reform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the nation, community colleges, K-12 school districts, and universities are collaborating with each other in creative ways that pool resources, increase access, and achieve myriad educational goals. Although not all partnerships include two-year colleges, these institutions serve as a bridge between public schools and four-year colleges, and between schools and the workforce. Despite the perceived benefits of collaboration, many partnerships fail to obtain desired results, cannot be sustained, or cease to benefit both parties. In an era of increased accountability, it is critical to understand why so many partnerships fall short of their goals and to identify the factors that contribute to the success or failure of a collaboration. Highlighting important elements of educational collaboration, chapters in this volume offer a means to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of partnerships. This is the 139th issue of the Jossey Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Community College.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the Council of Europe put into practice its commitment to the promotion of a culture of democracy through education? Over the past decade or so, our societies have been facing increasing difficulties in reconciling acceptance of diversity and social inclusion with the need for community. The search for simple solutions to complex problems, the fact that "fake news" and "alternative facts" are no longer seen as nonsensical expressions, our responses to migration and the "refugee crisis", and the growth of populism in many parts of Europe present challenges to our societies, and not least to education. Authors from Europe, North America and South Africa outline how higher education could respond to these challenges. The first section makes a strong case for the continuing importance of higher education and research to modern society. The second focuses on higher education institutions and the need for inclusive and diverse campuses. The third section considers opportunities to improve the inclusion of refugees and immigrants in higher education. Whereas the focus in Europe is mostly on refugees, in the United States it is largely on immigrants, further accentuated by the debate on the Dreamers.
