Academies Model and TCC Reading Group


The Academies Model and the Teaching & Creativity Center are pleased to announce our 2015-16 Faculty/Staff Reading Group!

This will be a great opportunity to discuss the research and strategy behind the guided pathways model that we are implementing at MCC through the Academies Model.

Over the next few months we will be reading and discussing “Redesigning America’s Community Colleges: A Clearer Path to Student Success” by Thomas Bailey, Shanna Smith Jaggars, and Davis Jenkins.  This program is open to all MCC faculty (full-time and adjunct), staff, and administrators.  Reading groups will be offered at Brighton, DCC, and ATC, as well as in an online format. Each group will have 8 meetings (beginning during the week of September 28 - October 3 and concluding at the start of the spring 2016 semester). Once you have registered we will contact you to deliver your book and set your group’s meeting schedule. Please join us and add your voice to the conversation.
