The faculty in a community college is the engine that makes this complex and comprehensive institution work. But all are not prepared for the task to ensure that the most underprepared and diverse students in all of higher education will succeed. A sound program in faculty development led by highly qualified professionals is the only hope that a community college has to live up to its promise as “Democracy’s College.” This new book by two seasoned leaders, Faculty Development: Creating a Collaborative Culture in Community Colleges, is the best guide in decades and should become the go-to source for all seriously committed to the continuing development of faculty.
