Cases for Community College Teachers

Here are thought-provoking and practical solutions for community college educators! This excellent work provides addresses a critical need in two-year institutions by providing information about issues the faculty face regularly. The author, Dr. Rebecca Kamm, uses twenty case studies to illustrate situations involving practical, everyday situations. Cases cover a spectrum of student-teacher-classroom situations, such as: a student's animosity toward mathematics, a part-time instructor's conflicts with her supervisor, a teacher's frustrations with the use of new technology. This book is designed to be used for faculty development, community college student discussion, teacher study groups, pre-service teacher training, and models for case writing. Teachers in any discipline could connect with these cases and use the examples as springboards for discussion and development of further cases. How does a teacher survive her first day of a semester? How do nontraditional students build courage to return to college? How does the student/teacher relationship impact learning? Cases for Community Colleges addresses these concerns in thought-provoking case studies. This engaging text is a valuable resource for community college educators who seek practical solutions for today's challenges.
