Vision for Opportunity

Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
John Edward Roueche is the most productive and the most recognized community college leader in the history of the community college movement. He is a person with remarkable vision and over the decades has demonstrated an uncanny ability to scan the horizon of higher education, identify emerging issues—or issues that should emerge—and place them squarely before leaders and practitioners in the field. Throughout his career, Roueche has powerfully led the community college field by recognizing, often long before others do, areas of potential opportunity or impending concern—and addressing them through prolific research, writing, and speaking. This book explores the influence of John on individual lives and community colleges across the United States. Through stories and research of his years in the community college vineyard, the book follows the professional chronology of John’s life from childhood to today. While segments of his life history are included in the chapters, this is not a biography. This work is a collection of voices on the impact of John from many perspectives. Themes run throughout the chapters that paint a picture of this man. Hopefully you, the reader, will smile, laugh, reflect, and enjoy the life and influence of John Edward Roueche.
Community College Review

Book Description
This book is one of several supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to the American Association of Community Colleges. It reviews the first seven years of the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program by showcasing activities, partners, and achievements at 13 colleges. When Congress enacted legislation in 1993 establishing the ATE program, America's community colleges became the focus of a NSF effort to improve the nation's technological workforce. NSF's Division of Undergraduate Education and Division of Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education jointly manage the ATE program. The aims of the ATE program are to improve advanced technology education, create models for other institutions, ensure that students gain strong backgrounds in mathematics and science, and generate educational products that can be applied nationwide. From its inception through the end of fiscal year 1999, the ATE program supported more than 250 individual projects and 12 national centers of excellence. The centers focus on specific technologies and serve as national resources that provide wide-ranging support to all institutions that are concerned about improvement in those specific technologies. Some of the programs described in this report achieved the following outcomes: new courses in telecommunications; new associate of arts and sciences degree and certificate program in environmental technology; and faculty development in geographical information systems, image processing, and remote sensing. Appendices contain ATE Centers of Excellence, ATE Funded Institutions, and Advisory Committee. (Contains 35 references.) (JA)
