About the Book

Designed to mentor aspiring and current faculty, Becoming a Successful Community College Professor analyzes the ways in which the current institution of community colleges affects both staff and students, and presents strategies for effectively navigating the community college professor role from the point of job search to tenure status. With emphasis on key elements such as getting hired, class preparation, student needs, college policies and culture, and an abundance more, this book focuses on training professors to successfully overcome the challenges that the current academic climate presents. Through the inclusion of interview vignettes with faculty across the United States, this book represents a wide range of disciplines and closely examines socioeconomic classes, racial and ethnic identities, gender and sexuality, and the varying faculty positions within the community college. Coverage also consists of syllabi creation, assessment and grading, faculty mentoring, problem-solving in the classroom, and the nuances of online learning. Intended for graduate students and existing faculty, this book will provide insight into what community college professorship entails through discussions of equity and engagement, as well as offer valuable tips for keeping up with the field as it continually evolves.

Review :
Becoming a Successful Community College Professor: Navigating a Changing Academic World provides a great introduction to the realities of teaching community college. This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about education and committed to making a meaningful impact in the community college arena. This book goes beyond theory, providing tangible advice and proven methods that resonate with the daily experiences of educators. I wholeheartedly endorse this book as an indispensable tool for navigating the multifaceted world of community college teaching. Gabriele Kohpahl, PhD, Anthropology Instructor, Adjunct, Pasadena City College, USA This book outlines what every community college faculty needs to focus on not only within their own classroom and teaching but also beyond as more students need additional supports to be academically successful. Being an educator today means working with students in a more holistic way from making personal connections, to helping navigate the myriad of resources available to them and assisting them with digesting the information provided by those resources in a meaningful way. Thus, the Faculty Spotlights within this book are especially compelling as they showcase best practices along with examples of successful student experiences in the ever-evolving world of community colleges. Kristen Wilkin, Dean of Workforce Education and Training, Clatsop Community College, USA
