  • Prior Learning Assessment Handbook Northeast Resiliency Consortium
    PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT HANDBOOK NORTHEAST RESILIENCY CONSORTIUM Nan L. Travers, Ph.D. ABOUT US The Northeast Resiliency Consortium (NRC) is a group of seven community colleges—Passaic County (NJ), Kingsborough (NY), Housatonic (CT), Bunker Hill (MA), Capital (CT), LaGuardia (NY), and Atlantic Cape (NJ) community colleges, organized in partnership with Achieving the Dream and joined with other strategic partners including the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The consortium was created in the wake of recent natural and man-made disasters. These disasters serve as powerful reminders that catastrophes can come in all shapes and sizes, and when least expected, can disrupt a community’s infrastructure and civic life. The consortium was awarded $23.5 million from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College Career and Training (TAACCCT) program to develop education and training programs to support the development of a skilled and resilient workforce. Resiliency is defined as an individual’s persistent development and application of knowledge, skills, and resources that effectively help one adapt to change and overcome adversity. The goal of the NRC was to enhance the capacity of colleges to accelerate learning, ensure that students attain industry-recognized credentials, foster innovative employer partnerships, use new technologies, and deploy robust support services. The consortium and its partners are working to build regional capacity for helping trade-impacted, unemployed persons, veterans and other workers in obtaining the skills, competencies, and credentials needed to transition into in-demand occupations and to successfully advance along a career pathway in IT, healthcare, or energy/environment.

  • Abstract Megan M. Chase, Ph.D
    5 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION FROM A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE: ANALYZING TRANSFER POLICY WITHIN AN URBAN TECHNICAL COLLEGE Megan M. Chase, Ph.D. Abstract This study contributes to the limited research on transfer policy implementation in higher education. Using case study research design and drawing on the tenets of critical policy analysis, I examined how practitioners in one two-year college implement transfer policy. Approaching the research from a critical perspective, the findings demonstrate that transfer as a tertiary goal of the college is congruent with the lack of transfer policy visibility and implementation, which has implications for students of color. These implications are addressed and recommendations are made as to how institutions can implement policy in a culturally relevant manner to better meet the needs of minoritized students. stablished as an open access institution, the two-year college originated Ewith the promise of a democratic education, a stepping-stone to new careers and new possibilities for its entrants. Currently enrolling over 10 million students, public two-year colleges are the critical entry points to higher education and economic opportunity for half of the nation’s college students. However, two-year colleges do not bear the brunt of college enrollments by chance. Over the last 50 years, state and federal higher education policymakers have designated the two-year college to be the “main artery” for broadening higher education opportunity for all Americans. The two-year college is assigned the task of harboring a multitude of high school graduates until they are prepared to transfer to a four-year institution or to enter the job market.
