Dr. Baker insures that the material covers a range of significant information relative to the community college movement in the United States. Beginning with the historic development of these institutions, the contributing authors identify community colleges' unique comprehensive mission, the evolution of their curriculum and instructional approaches, the emergence and pervasiveness of leadership in these institutions, management of fiscal and human resources, issues related to strategic planning and forces impacting community colleges, student development including assessment, and finally the future of community colleges as we enter the 21st century. A "must have" book which provides a foundation of collective wisdom for those working in or aspiring to work in community colleges in any capacity.
