Synopsis
Boost student success by reversing your perspective on college readiness The national conversation asking "Are students college-ready?" concentrates on numerous factors that are beyond higher education's control. Becoming a Student-Ready College flips the college readiness conversation to provide a new perspective on creating institutional value and facilitating student success. Instead of focusing on student preparedness for college (or lack thereof), this book asks the more pragmatic question of what are colleges and universities doing to prepare for the students who are entering their institutions? What must change in an institution's policies, practices, and culture in order to be student-ready? Clear and concise, this book is packed with insightful discussion and practical strategies for achieving your ambitious student success goals. These ideas for redesigning practices and policies provide more than food for thought--they offer a real-world framework for real institutional change. You'll learn: How educators can acknowledge their own biases and assumptions about underserved students in order to allow for change New ways to advance student learning and success How to develop and value student assets and social capital Strategies and approaches for creating a new student-focused culture of leadership at every level To truly become student-ready, educators must make difficult decisions, face the pressures of accountability, and address their preconceived notions about student success head-on. Becoming a Student-Ready College provides a reality check based on today's higher education environment., Boost student success by reversing your perspective on college readiness The national conversation asking Are students college-ready? concentrates on numerous factors that are beyond higher education's control.

They lay out the premise that we do not lack ideas but the will to change and believe the vision they set forth will provide that needed motivation. It speaks to important principles for the future of postsecondary education the need for ongoing improvement through organizational learning, the need to redesign our colleges to collaborate and partner, and to operate through shared governance and distributed leadership to create holistic learning experiences for students." Adrianna Kezar, professor of higher education, University of Southern California "Once again AAC&U paves the way and helps to set the standards for transformative, meaningful change in higher education. Becoming a Student-Ready College not only challenges higher education to have honest, self-reflective conversations regarding the extent to which we are committed to serving all students including, and perhaps especially, those from underserved populations but also provides extensive, practical advice on the often creative ways in which higher education institutions can succeed in meeting this commitment. Some of the issues raised in this book might prove uncomfortable. However, these issues must be addressed forthrightly if higher education as a whole is to succeed in our efforts to help all students be well-educated, enfranchised members of the workforce and well-informed, committed citizens of a strong democracy. Recommended for everyone who works in higher education, Becoming a Student-Ready College offers a philosophically cogent, systemically grounded response to the urgent student-success challenges facing the Academy." Richard J. Prystowsky, provost/senior vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, Lansing Community College "The authors should be congratulated for synthesizing important what works research to offer higher education leaders a practical guide to increasing student success while building an inclusive campus culture. They illustrate how the diverse talents and collaborative efforts of faculty and staff can be harnessed by academic leaders to improve student-centered institutional outcomes, acknowledging that there are actions that can be taken right now." Martha J. Kanter, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Higher Education and senior fellow, New York University; Former U.S. Under Secretary of Education (2009 2013)
