Community colleges serve as the open door to higher education for
marginalized, place bound, and/or financially challenged students
and communities. One of the key ways marginalization occurs in
diverse geographies is through access limitations: access to
affordable postsecondary education, access to curricula that lead
to viable professions, access to diverse educational role models,
and access to employment opportunities that can sustain
communities. This underscores the importance of understanding
"place" when addressing access and equity in higher education and
the role of community colleges. The discussion of access and equity
through the community college has implications for teacher
education. Considering the documented importance of having a
diverse teacher workforce in K-12 schools and the current mismatch
between the diversity of students and the teachers in their
schools, community colleges have a significant role to play. This
book explores many topics related to the community college role in
K-12 teacher education, including the community college mission,
the policy landscape, partnerships, the transfer function, the
community college baccalaureate, and others. Throughout the volume,
the authors explore implications of access, equity, and geography
and conclude with recommendations to guide future research and
practice.
