41. Teaching for Our Times: Access.

Author

Bunker Hill Community Coll., Boston, MA., Cassara, Shirley, Bernard, Jean M., Cassara, Shirley, Bernard, Jean M., and Bunker Hill Community Coll., Boston, MA.

Abstract

This volume of Bunker Hill Community College's (Massachusetts) series, "Teaching for Our Times," focuses on issues of access. The original concept for community colleges included access as an open door to learning, where anyone, even without a high school diploma, could begin a new academic life in an institution free from the barriers imposed by traditional colleges and universities. As the community college movement achieved success across the country, efforts were made to expand the notion of access through the active recruitment of new students who had been left out of the educational mainstream. Ties to community agencies as well as to minority groups labeled "disadvantaged" were developed, bringing in an even more diverse student population. The meaning of access changed from just being available to all who wanted to attend to being openly solicitous toward segments of society with complex needs. This volume examines how the community college's mission has changed along with a new understanding of access. Chapters include: (1) "Pathways to Access"; (2) "Getting Here"; (3) "Staying Here"; and (4) "Transformation Through Learning." Each chapter includes several essays on issues of distance education, access for minority populations, student retention and success, and mathematics and writing for developmental and second-language students.

48. Teaching for Our Times: Focus on Learning, Volume Two.

Author

Bunker Hill Community Coll., Boston, MA., Cassara, Shirley, Bernard, Jean M., Cassara, Shirley, Bernard, Jean M., and Bunker Hill Community Coll., Boston, MA.

Abstract

The articles in this book were written by faculty and staff at Bunker Hill Community College (MA), each author addressing the issue of learning by incorporating their experiences as educational leaders. In this second volume of Teaching for Our Times, the focus is on what makes and shapes learning. The 16 chapters cover topics such as learning from diversity, learning to serve, ways of learning, and transformation through learning. They illustrate the action research paradigm in which the results of learning come back to influence the style of delivery, thus completing the teaching-learning cycle. In an article entitled "Building Community in the Classroom," Sharyn Lowenstein shares five strategies to build a community spirit within the classroom. In another article, Vilma M. Tafawa argues that "to be successful in a multicultural language classroom, instructors of English must have an appreciation of the relationship between culture and language and the influence of the native language on second language acquisition." Other articles include: (1) "Bagels, Sushi, Fufu, and Flan: The Diversity Project and Recipes for Change" (Lloyd Sheldon Johnson); (2) "Everything I Know about Teaching Can Be Learned from a Bumper Sticker" (Kevin Finnigan); and (3) "Communicating across Cultures in the Operating Room" (Jayne MacPherson).
