Fostering a Climate for Faculty Scholarship at Community Colleges

by Jim Palmer (Editor)

The essays in this monograph address three themes related to the challenge of scholarship at the community college. The first is leadership. Leaders need to change attitudes and institutional values if scholarship is to take its place as an accepted part of community college life. The connection between scholarship and teaching, often denied in the false but widely accepted teaching-versus-research dichotomy, is a second theme. The professional obligations of community college educators constitute a third theme. In forging a larger role for scholarship within the community college culture, leaders can build upon the scholarly drives and interests that already exist among many faculty members and administrators.
