In an increasingly diverse United States, minority and low-income students of all ages struggle to fit into mainstream colleges and universities that cater predominantly to middle-income and affluent white students fresh out of high school. Anchored in a study conducted at twelve minority-serving institutions (MSIs), Educating a Diverse Nation turns a spotlight on the challenges facing nontraditional college students and highlights innovative programs and practices that are advancing students' persistence and learning.
Clifton Conrad and Marybeth Gasman offer an on-the-ground perspective of life at MSIs. Speaking for themselves, some students describe the stress of balancing tuition with the need to support families. Others express their concerns about not being adequately prepared for college-level work. And more than a few reveal doubts about the relevance of college for their future. The authors visited the four main types of MSIs--historically black colleges and universities, tribal colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions--to identify strategies for empowering nontraditional students to succeed in college despite these obstacles.
Educating a Diverse Nation illuminates such initiatives as collaborative learning, culturally relevant educational programs, blurring the roles of faculty, staff, and students, peer-led team learning, and real-world problem solving. It shows how these innovations engage students and foster the knowledge, skills, and habits they need to become self-sustaining in college and beyond, as well as valuable contributors to society.

Описание: Chapter 1 examines Educations role in: (1) recognizing accrediting agencies, (2) overseeing the financial condition of schools, and (3) overseeing schools student loan default rates. Chapter 2 discusses (1) how Education oversees the financial condition of schools; (2) the extent to which Educations oversight has been effective at identifying schools at risk of closure; and (3) the extent to which Education informs schools and the public about its financial oversight. For many service members, getting an education is a critical component of transition to civilian life. Chapter 3 determines ways that the Higher Education Act is helping achieve those goals, and find areas where there are problems, and where we can make improvements. To help students and their families pay for higher education, the Department of Education provides billions of dollars in federal student loans each year through programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act as discussed in chapter 4. Chapter 5 discusses the unique challenges facing minority serving institutions and to learn about programs and support to help facilitate student success. Chapter 6 describes the several programs devoted to financially assisting minority-serving institutions (MSIs) under the Higher Education Act. Historically Black Colleges and Universities play an important and unique role in the higher education system and in their local and regional economies. As reported in chapter 7, SBA works with many colleges and universities to provide entrepreneurial training and counseling on campuses.

Название: Principles, Practices, and Creative Tensions in Progressive Higher Education: One Institution`s Struggle to Sustain a Vision ISBN: 9463008829 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789463008822 Издательство: Brill Рейтинг: Цена: 66410.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In this multi-faceted case study of one progressive institution of adult higher education, the editors and contributors to the volume lay out significant challenges confronting not just non-traditional post-secondary colleges and universities but all institutions of higher education in today’s rapidly changing context. Contending that non-traditional institutions are especially challenged in these turbulent times, they argue that these organizations’ distinctive academic programs are among the most threatened in the landscape of higher education today.The 19 essays that make up this volume highlight and examine key creative tensions, rich interplays of emphases and values in higher education, in order to illuminate and address more intentionally the questions that we must address: Can we make constructive use of these tensions? Can we recognize what is at stake? And can we chart a course that will both respond innovatively to rapid change and sustain a vision and the purposes and principles on which that vision rests? Taken as a whole, this volume sheds light on the questions and creative tensions that can, with thoughtful attention, help to keep an alternative, progressive vision of adult higher education alive.
