Reimagining Access Karen Stout, Inside Higher Ed Access is more than entrance into a discrete academic or training endeavor, writes Achieving the Dream's Karen Stout in this essay, and community colleges must offer that access through a far broader set of supports—both academic and nonacademic.
Stout cites several examples of community colleges that are addressing key elements of a new community-based, equity-focused access agenda. Their work, she says, brings together schools, community organizations, and employers as partners to think comprehensively about the changing needs of students and communities. |
