Mission
Develop leaders in California community colleges who
have the capacity to facilitate networks of faculty, staff,
and students for curricular and institutional redesigns in
support of increased student access, success, equity,
and completion.
Theory of Change
If we provide training on
networking and we use action
research methodologies, community
college professionals will transform
their environments and identities to
create communities of practice that
will produce powerful learning and
working across campuses. This will
lead to greater student success.
Building Networks that Work
•Identifying a Shared Problem
•Creating a Shared Vision of the Possible
for Addressing It
•Building a Sustained Community of
Practitioners Focusing on This Problem
