▼ Existing as part of a community is a fundamental human attribute. Human collaboration has been embraced in the modern American workplace and classroom through team activity and projects. Teachers at universities and colleges, however, frequently toil in isolation enforced by principles steeped in academic tradition. The concept of making meaning through community is well grounded in the theory of social constructivism and through historical learning principles evidenced at colonial colleges. An innovative approach to higher education emphasizing teamwork and collaboration is the Learning Community linking teachers and students together in interdisciplinary collaborative projects or coursework to create shared knowledge. Through collaborative inquiry and participatory action, this study examined the impact on community college faculty who participated within a learning community of students, teachers, and broadcasters. As a means to this exploration, this study focused on a specific project within an urban community college district charged with the responsibility to create both common coursework and a town hall meeting on the issue of stem cell research. The end result of this study was a broadcast documentary, employing the technique of participatory documentary production, which explored the meaning of collaboration as lived and reflected upon by the faculty and broadcast teams who partnered on this project. Data sources included collaborative meetings of the learning community, classroom sessions, broadcast team meetings, the town hall event, one-on-one interviews with participants and group reflective discussions. The faculty participants of this study call this inter-disciplinary experience exhilarating and memorable. They believed the project positively impacted their practice, students, and community. They were surprised by the strong emotional impact broadcasting added to the results. They expressed that the broadcast element deepened their sense of self worth while increasing their sense of personal responsibility. This study impacted the community college district in which it was conducted, as this learning community project became a prototype for encouraged and prioritized activities. It can also serve as a model for other higher education institutions who own broadcast assets, to use their production facilities to collaborate with faculty and students on important, curriculum-based projects in learning communities.* <i>Keywords.</i> faculty collaboration, learning communities, urban community college, participatory broadcast documentary, social constructivism, participatory action research, collaborative inquiry, stem cell research. *This dissertation is a compound document (contains both a paper copy and a CD as part of the dissertation). The CD requires the following system requirements: Adobe Acrobat; QuickTime.

▼ This study is an exploration of the strategies employed by community colleges to facilitate the integration of their assessment and strategic plans. Because the strategic and assessment plans are major documents that guide the success of the institution, they are submitted frequently as evidence of meeting the accreditation requirement for institutional effectiveness. If the colleges' success is based on the effectiveness and efficiency of their plans, then the assessment plan needs to be linked and integrated with the institutions strategic plan. The intent of this research study is to identify how community colleges integrate assessment and strategic plans to improve institutional effectiveness. Because the assessment process results in data that can determine what conditions positively affect student learning, these data should be used to make the strategic decisions that affect the core student-learning mission of the institution. Information was gathered from a case institution by interviewing faculty and administrators involved in these institutions' strategic planning and assessment processes, as well as through document review. Analysis of this data resulted in a synthesis of seven best practices that can be shared with institutional planners and other interested individuals as a model for community colleges to follow in developing or modifying their own planning processes. Interviewees in this study cited strategies used to link assessment and planning, such as innovation, communication, shared governance, education/professional development, organization of assessment data, institutional culture, and campus-wide support. The strategies provided by this study should assist faculty and administrators throughout higher education institutions develop or modify their strategic planning processes to include valuable assessment data. To carry out these strategies, it was recommended that faculty view assessment as a vehicle for individual and institutional improvement.

▼ Using bounded case study methodology, I conducted an examination of strengths-focused efforts to improve the collaborative work of teachers and the academic achievement of ninth-grade students in an urban-suburban high school. Through a semi-structured interview protocol, 6 study subjects, including teachers, department heads, and program-level administrators, shared their insights and experiences related to implementing a strengths-focused approach to teaching and learning. Interviews were digitally recorded and the full transcript of each interview constituted the data set for the study. Iterative distillation of the data yielded a number of emergent themes: (a) strengths, including implementation issues and how to capitalize on using a strengths-focused approach; (b) time, including the concepts of face-time, time as a resource, and competing priorities; (c) teaching and learning, including an examination of the desire for “tangible outcomes” that resulted from utilization of strengths-focused approach with students; (d) assessment; (e) student and teacher efficacy; and (f) distributed leadership schema and a discussion of the importance of establishing trusting relationships to enable leadership for change to take place. Several of the research subjects voiced opinions that strengths awareness was equally as important for adults as for students, citing that it supported improved communication between colleagues and a clearer sense of direction in group work. Furthermore, teachers indicated that the focus had helped them identify individual student strengths which they used to plan differentiated learning experiences for their students. The study supported the potential for the idea that students might be afforded options for how they might best learn based on their unique strengths and proclivities. The research also indicated that strengths-focus has the potential to help make school more relevant for students who may not have experienced success in school and therefore had seen little use in school as an experience that would positively affect their lives. Finally, the research supported the potential of strengths-focused instruction as the new schema of working and learning together for students and adults.

▼ Globalization is redefining and transforming interactions between people all over the world. Although nations differ in their level of globalization, it is critical in this day and age that nations foster global competency in their citizens and students. Education is one key area in developing and promoting global competency. For the United States, creation of a dynamic workforce, both domestic and abroad, is imperative if America is going to compete in a global society. Students who have a diverse and knowledgeable view of the world, can communicate in another language, and can exhibit cross-cultural adaptability, will be able to efficiently function and take advantage of opportunities in a global marketplace. Institutions of higher education in the United States are critical venues for offering academic courses that incorporate and deal with elements of global competency. One type of higher education institution that presents diverse educational opportunities to large numbers of students is community colleges. More specifically, community colleges in northeast Illinois offer students affordable tuition, ease of access, flexible course scheduling, course variety, and transfer prospects to universities. One academic program that fits succinctly with the concept of global competency is hospitality management programs. Hospitality curricula include courses in Hotel and Motel Management, Hospitality Supervision and Marketing, Convention Management, Travel and Tourism, and Food Service Operations. Such disciplines can touch on international components that involve business, politics, culture, food, history, religion, education, art, music, and travel. Therefore, community college hospitality management programs may be an excellent platform for investigating the concept of global competency. The purpose of this study is to identify how and in what ways the concept of global competency is found within the curriculum of hospitality management programs at community colleges. Actual travel for face-to-face interviews was inherently essential to the design of this study. Seven community college hospitality management program coordinators were interviewed from the northeast region of Illinois. Distribution of institutions included both city and suburban community colleges. The conceptual framework of this study used a “wide-angle” lens encompassing three theories from diverse disciplines. This included World Culture Theory, Multicultural Education Theory, and Adult Learning Theory. Also, the concept of student assessment was addressed. Collectively, these theories provided an exploratory lens through which to view global competency. Due to the continual expansion of the global marketplace, students will need to acquire global skills to be able to live and work. Therefore, hospitality management students must be able to efficiently communicate and interact in an environment with individuals from multicultural or cross-cultural backgrounds. Such dynamic interactions could be…

▼ Planning is believed to bring stability, growth and reassurance to our lives. Since the recent economic downturn in the U.S. economy, individuals, families, small businesses, and major corporations are all looking to planners to assess every aspect of their financial futures. So, when it comes to our community colleges, the fabric of higher education in America, who is leading the planning process? The 21^st century will continue to unveil new challenges for community colleges. Beset with many challenges such as an austere funding environment, growing diverse student populations, community issues and needs, impending leadership and faculty retirements, globalization, and mounting pressures of accountability from accrediting bodies and external constituents, community colleges leaders must employ measures that promote institutional viability. Leadership and planning are two essential components for the viability of community colleges. Strategic planning leadership is vital for the survival and growth of community colleges during these uncertain times. This study explores strategic planning leadership in Illinois community colleges in an attempt to identify the leader responsible for facilitating the strategic planning process, the impact of their role, and how they influence the process. In addition, the study examines the similarities, commonalties, and differences in the strategic planning process among Illinois community colleges. Findings of this study are that community colleges in the state of Illinois show great similarities in their strategic planning processes. The study also found that individuals responsible for leadership of strategic planning activities highly correspond with the skills associated with behavioral leadership theory, showing both concern for people as well as concern for the tasks of strategic planning. This information will be useful to community colleges attempting to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow through the planning process as well as provide insight into the type of leadership needed for strategic planning in community colleges during these ever-changing times.

▼ What do American Jews really know about Muslims? What do American Muslims really know about Jews? These questions undergird this account of how two religious adult educators – a Jew and a Muslim – came to engage in collaborative, dialogic, relational and transformational interreligious learning and research. Emerging out of this collaborative doctoral research project at National-Louis University, this study addresses two different dimensions of research and practice in the field of adult education: the nature of adult learning in the interreligious dialogue process and the role of collaborative methods in research methodology. Adult learning in the context of interreligious dialogue can best be described as incremental transformative learning, characterized by collaborative learning, which is mediated through symbols and metaphors in various forms. Learning in this context fosters adult development in the spiritual dimension. Interreligious dialogue engages the whole person in that it is linked to the learner's cognitive, affective, and symbolic domains of meaning making. The stories and experiences shared by the participants led to a schematic organized around three central themes: motivations rooted in openness and significant past experiences; interreligious learning as a threefold affective, cognitive, and symbolic knowledge construction process, and social action as inspiration and outcome of interreligious dialogue. A metaphor to describe the interaction and impact of these three themes that emerged from the data is that of interreligious dialogue as a pool of water. This study is rooted in a constructivist theoretical framework in which the concepts of collaboration and research as artistic endeavor are prominent. It was conducted as a fully collaborative venture. This important collaborative research partnership led to the creation of a new collaborative inquiry data gathering method (CIMCAM). It also led to significant insights into the role of collaborative learning in the research process.

▼ This qualitative study identified the best practices utilized by community colleges to achieve systemic and cultural agreement in support of the integration of institutional effectiveness measures (key performance indicators) to inform decision making. In addition, the study identifies the relevant motives, organizational structure, and processes to support the continuing organization development as the institution transitions to an information rich decision making environment. A multi-dimensional conceptual framework consisting of four concepts and theories was used to situate the study. The conceptual framework elements were: John Levin's (2001) Four Domains of Globalization (globalization), L. E. Greiner's (1998) Five Stages of Organizational Development (organizational change and development), Robert Stringer's (2002) Leadership and Organizational Climate model (organizational culture), and lastly a data management analysis framework developed by Rand Corporation researchers Gina Ikemoto and Julie Marsh (2007) (knowledge management). Three Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) community colleges from the Higher Learning Commission's North Central Association were selected as participants. Colleges participating in AQIP were selected because Program participants actively pursue the integration of continuous process improvement and total quality management principals into the management practices of their institutions. The merging of these principles into the cultural fabric of the institution is vital to developing a data-driven decision-making environment that steers the organization towards enhanced organizational effectiveness. To ensure transferability of the study's findings purposefully sampling with random sort and maximum variation were applied to identify the participating colleges. The study's findings affirmed research from organizational development literature (Weick, 1993; Greiner, 1998) that states; in order to reduce ambiguity in interpreting data results (information) and achieve maximum benefit, organizational members must have at their disposal a process, data management infrastructure and supporting cultural environment to fully implement data-driven decision making practices throughout the community college organization. Derived from the findings, the Knowledge-management and Effectiveness Integration Model (KEIM) provides as formative process that will help administrators, faculty, and staff transform their institutions into a data-driven decision making college and assist them in understanding the significance, implications, and importance of the data they collect. The KEIM provides a practical implementation approach for community colleges seeking to establish a comprehensive data and knowledge management process as it addresses the behavioral complexity of the organizational culture and highlights leadership roles needed to create a supportive organizational climate for the transformative change.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine how transformative learning takes place in the lives of participants who are in the MS community with the hope of identifying coping strategies and motivational factors influencing transformative learning. This research also seeks to discover and examine the lived experiences, meaning and consequent changes made in the lives of the research participants. The focus of this research asks how and in what ways the learning process differs prior to and after a diagnosis of MS and how these individuals reconstruct their lives after experiencing the day-to-day challenges brought about by this disease. It is the intention of this study to use Dr. J. Mezirow's 'transformative learning' theory and Dr. R. Boyd and Dr. Myers view of transformative learning which is incorporated in the concept of 'individuation'. The theoretical perspectives guiding this research which are: constructivism, critical reflection, the relationships between chronic illness, disability and MS and lastly the MSer and their relationships. In an effort to collect and examine the daily experiences of a particular group of people or individuals this study is qualitative in nature. This research paradigm has been found to be a powerful instrument that aides in the understanding of individuals in the social and historical context in which they live, work and play (Merriam & Associates, 2002, p. xv). This research perspective will allow the researcher to focus on the "process, meaning and understanding" of the particular individuals and/or group under investigation (Merriam & Associates, 1998, p. 8) and will result in a large collection of descriptive material that will lead to a greater understanding of the participants' frames of reference and uncover unique interpretations of the meaning-making process. Patton (1985, p. 1) states that qualitative research "is an effort to understand situations in their uniqueness as part of a particular context and the interactions there". Denzin and Lincoln (1998) explain that qualitative research further by providing a flexible approach to investigation by allowing the researcher to: stress the socially constructed nature of reality, the intimate relationships between the researcher and what is studied, and the situational constraints that shape inquiry. Such researchers emphasize the value-laden nature of inquiry. They seek answers to questions that stress how social experience is created and given meaning. (p. 8) Hence I will use the lens of critical ethnography to investigate to workings within and without this community. "Critical" ethnography that investigates how the strictures caused by hegemonic powers with value-laden agendas" (Merriman & Associates, 2002, p. 236) effect and interplay with the "historical, social and economical situations" of a particular culture. Critical ethnography seeks to shed light on the "unfairness or injustice within a particular lived domain (Madison, 2005, p. 6) by examining the status quo and the…

▼ Questions of efficacy have always plagued the use of mission statement as a strategic planning tool. In most planning models, the mission statement serves to clarify goals and guide the formation of strategies. However, little empirical evidence exists validating that mission statements actually improve the performance of organizations, even though regional accrediting commissions in higher education include mission statement and affiliated processes as criterion for accreditation. For community colleges, the question is how can mission statements best be used to move the institution forward in a climate of change and challenges? The purpose of this study is to explore the role and efficacy of community college mission statements in the strategic planning process. Role refers to the function of the mission statement within the institution‘s planning framework, both actual and desired, whereas efficacy refers to how well the statement fulfills the desired function. This national qualitative research employed an instrumental case study design and included nine community colleges geographically distributed throughout the United States. Mintzberg‘s strategy formation theory and the research of Lang and Lopers-Sweetman into mission statement roles provided a framework for the study. The findings clearly corroborate the multiple roles required of mission statements, and that certain of these roles can facilitate mission statement efficacy. Nevertheless, the findings also unmistakably found some roles are inherently in conflict with one another. The implications of the findings are that institutional planners must be unambiguous at the outset of the mission statement development process as to which roles will be required of the mission statement. This clarity of utility assists in the development of a comprehensible mission statement and will improve its efficacy. A model mission statement development process is presented that combines findings from the research with other model mission statement development processes. The resulting process can be used by governing boards, presidents, institutional planners, and planning committees at community colleges to improve the efficacy of their mission statement and the strategic planning process.

▼ It is no secret that school accountability is a common theme heard in discourse among governmental and local officials. This theme reaches across educational institutions throughout the Nation. Parents, policymakers, and educators are calling for and demanding educational reform to improve the quality of instruction taking place within schools. Improving student achievement scores on standardized tests is the driving force behind the demand for educational reform. Consequently, education reform efforts must focus on teacher quality and improved student performance. The relationship between the evaluation ratings of classroom teachers and student achievement is an ongoing topic of leaders in and outside the education profession and in particular educational policy-makers. As indicated by several researchers, teacher quality is a critical factor influencing student performance. Having the ability to distinguish between levels of performance for teachers and school administrators can help districts provide instructional support to develop and strengthen teacher practices and ultimately improve student achievement. Determining how to measure effective teaching practices is one of the primary challenges facing the education profession. Therefore, continued efforts are underway to search for valid and reliable ways to measure teacher performance. If used correctly, the process used to evaluate teachers can help teachers develop and strengthen their instructional practices. Additionally, if the school district’s teacher evaluation system is based on sound theory and practice and used with fidelity, teachers can be held accountable for student learning. Therefore, the district in my study wants to take appropriate actions to identify some of the most effective ways to improve the teacher evaluation process through enhanced support for teachers and school based administrators. It now uses the Marzano Instructional Framework in this effort. And my study addresses how to make it more effective.
