摘要

随着社区学院在为不断变化的学生群体提供服务方面不断面临挑战,以及校长退休潮的出现,下一代社区学院高级领导者正在浮出水面。为了培养这些高层管理者,博士水平的社区学院领导力(CCL)课程往往成为支持领导者进行专业实践的可行机制。然而,对于校友--现任社区学院领导--从博士级 CCL 项目中获得了哪些益处和技能,以及这些项目及其负责人是如何建立和发展项目以满足学生需求的,却知之甚少。本定性案例研究采用了规划实践理论来解释主任如何制定 CCL 计划,最终揭示博士 CCL 计划的过程是如何促进计划的优先事项、课程和发展的。通过对 7 名博士生 CCL 项目主任和 16 名校友的访谈,我们的研究结果表明了深思熟虑的项目设计、有意识的课程设置以及为学生提供支持的项目发展的价值。研究的意义要求我们在多个方向上进行进一步的探索,例如越来越多地转向在线课程的作用,以及校友如何在为 CCL 项目招募和指导新入学的博士生方面发挥关键作用。

Doctoral Community College Leadership Program Priorities, Curriculum, and Evolution: Director and Alumni Perspectives

As community colleges continue to face challenges in serving an ever-changing student population and a wave of presidential retirements, the next generation of senior community college leaders is surfacing. To prepare these top-level administrators, doctoral-level community college leadership (CCL) programs often serve as a viable mechanism for supporting leaders in their professional practice. Nonetheless, minimal knowledge exists about what benefits and skills alumni - current community college leaders - gain from doctoral CCL programs and how such programs and their directors build and evolve programming to meet their students’ needs. This qualitative case study employs the theory of planning practice to account for how directors shape CCL programming, ultimately uncovering how doctoral CCL programs’ processes contribute to programmatic priorities, curriculum, and evolution. Through interviews with seven doctoral CCL program directors and 16 alumni, our findings show the value of thoughtful program design, intentional curriculum, and evolution of programming to support students. Study implications call for further exploration across many directions, such as the role of an increasing shift to online programming and how alumni play crucial roles in recruiting and mentoring incoming doctoral students to CCL programs.

期刊介绍: Innovative Higher Education is a refereed scholarly journal that strives to package fresh ideas in higher education in a straightforward and readable fashion. The four main purposes of Innovative Higher Education are: (1) to present descriptions and evaluations of current innovations and provocative new ideas with relevance for action beyond the immediate context in higher education; (2) to focus on the effect of such innovations on teaching and students; (3) to be open to diverse forms of scholarship and research methods by maintaining flexibility in the selection of topics deemed appropriate for the journal; and (4) to strike a balance between practice and theory by presenting manuscripts in a readable and scholarly manner to both faculty and administrators in the academic community.
