Until now, it's been difficult to access the right local government and private agencies and organizations providing care services for ageing seniors within the United States. With Senior Citizens Services, locating the appropriate help for senior citizens is made much easier. This is the volume devoted to the Midwest of the United States in the biennial, four-volume, regional directory containing descriptive listings for 57 state and 670 local area agencies concerned with providing care services for ageing people in the United States. Included from the private sector are some 21,000 organizations that provide such services as: adult day care; case management; home delivered meals; home repair; vision services; hearing impaired services; legal assistance; and more.
In the United States, 1,200 community colleges enroll over ten million students each year—nearly half of the nation’s undergraduates. Yet fewer than 40 percent of entrants complete an undergraduate degree within six years. This fact has put pressure on community colleges to improve academic outcomes for their students. Redesigning America’s Community Colleges is a concise, evidence-based guide for educational leaders whose institutions typically receive short shrift in academic and policy discussions. It makes a compelling case that two-year colleges can substantially increase their rates of student success, if they are willing to rethink the ways in which they organize programs of study, support services, and instruction. Community colleges were originally designed to expand college enrollments at low cost, not to maximize completion of high-quality programs of study. The result was a cafeteria-style model in which students pick courses from a bewildering array of choices, with little guidance. The authors urge administrators and faculty to reject this traditional model in favor of “guided pathways”—clearer, more educationally coherent programs of study that simplify students’ choices without limiting their options and that enable them to complete credentials and advance to further education and the labor market more quickly and at less cost. Distilling a wealth of data amassed from the Community College Research Center (Teachers College, Columbia University), Redesigning America’s Community Colleges offers a fundamental redesign of the way two-year colleges operate, stressing the integration of services and instruction into more clearly structured programs of study that support every student’s goals.
