2 Today s Presentation Welcome & Introductions Overview of Community Colleges A National Perspective The Traditional Model Emerging New Models Faculty Leadership A Conversation

3 Community colleges are the obvious staging grounds for trying to close many of the gaps in American life They can close the gap between the immigrant promise and the immigrant experience by integrating new Americans into our national life. Dr. Mary Fifield, President Bunker Hill Community College March 20, 2006 to the Secretary s Commission on Future of Higher Education

4 Who are community college immigrant students? 1200 community colleges enroll almost half of all U.S. undergrads 24% of credit students come from an immigrant background Non-credit classes offered by community colleges: Adult Basic Education ESL Computer skills Civics Education & Citizenship Family Literacy Workforce Training and VESL College degree or certificate Self- improvement Community Education Assistance with credentialing foreign education

5 One size does NOT fit all Community colleges across the country provide access to higher education But Adult Basic Education, GED classes, and ESL classes are offered in different ways across the U.S.: In 14 states community colleges offer ABE/GED/ESL classes In 36 states ABE/GED/ESL are also provided by school districts, community-based organizations or other providers

6 Challenges facing immigrant students Difficulty gaining access to higher education Financial constraints Limited English proficiency Limited formal education Differences in culture/ expectations Family/work responsibilities Lack of recognition of credentials, experience and education from their home countries Minimal access to career pathways from ESL to job skills/academics to employment Issues of documentation for approx 30% of immigrants

7 Challenges facing community colleges Rethinking how to meet immigrant population where they are; not by current standards Responding to varying levels and needs of LEP and remediation Creating career pathways that overlap ESL and workforce training minimizing completion time when possible Developing new funding mechanisms to assist in tuition and program expenses Proper assessment of skills and strengths of immigrant population and appropriate programs to fill in the gaps Fostering a climate within the college and the community that recognizes the importance of this work
