Many earlier attempts at education reform have failed, causing some
critics to call for a much more expansive wave of reform in which
learning becomes a central focus. O'Banion presents an argument for
the community college, with its strong penchant for innovation and
risk-taking, as the ideal forum for creating this new learning
paradigm. He proposes a provocative new concept called "the
learning college," which is designed to help students make
passionate connections to learning. The book describes in detail
the six key principles that form the definition and character of a
learning college. Emerging models of this concept are already in
place at a handful of community colleges, and six of these
pioneering institutions share their initial journeys in this book.
O'Banion provides a practical guide for community college leaders
who are preparing their institutions to enter the 21st century.
