Description:
African-American women are entering community colleges in greater numbers each year, but apart from general information about enrollment trends among all African-American students, very little research has been conducted on success factors among this growing group of women who attend our institutions. Although African-American women succeed at higher rates than African-American men in community colleges, their success rates can increase. Learning why and how African Americans succeed in postsecondary education will help community college educators ensure that the achievement gap is closed. This resource offers 10 recommendations drawn from interviews and focus groups with African-American women students and support services staff in community colleges. This resource is appropriate for all users, particularly for girls and women, because it addresses concerns relating to gender-bias and/or discrimination and was written/developed by a woman. |
