Becoming a Successful Community College Professor: Navigating a Changing Academic World provides a great introduction to the realities of teaching community college.

This book outlines what every community college faculty needs to focus on not only within their own classroom and teaching but also beyond as more students need additional supports to be academically successful. Being an educator today means working with students in a more holistic way from making personal connections, to helping navigate the myriad of resources available to them and assisting them with digesting the information provided by those resources in a meaningful way. Thus, the Faculty Spotlights within this book are especially compelling as they showcase best practices along with examples of successful student experiences in the ever-evolving world of community colleges.
