Expanding Opportunity for All: How Can We Increase Community College Student Success? A Choicework Discussion Starter
Public Agenda
Public Agenda's Choicework Discussion Starters support dialogue and deliberation on a wide variety of issues. They have been used in thousands of community conversations, discussion groups and classrooms and by journalists, researchers, policymakers, community leaders, and individuals looking to better understand and discuss solutions to a variety of public and community issues. Each guide is organized around several alternative ways of thinking about an issue, each with its own set of values, priorities, pros, cons, and trade-offs. The different perspectives are drawn both from how the public thinks about an issue and from what experts and leaders say about it in policy debates. Users of the guides should be encouraged to put additional ideas on the table or consider combining elements from different choices in unique ways. They are designed as a starting point for constructive dialogue and problem solving. This Choicework Discussion Starter aims to help by encouraging faculty and staff to reflect on these questions: (1) How are our many student success initiatives adding up? Where are we making progress? Where does progress remain slow? (2) What are our greatest strengths as a college? Where do we struggle to meet the needs of our students? and (3) What are the most important things we can be doing or working on to ensure that more of our students are able to reach their goals?
