The Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) has been a driving force in continuing education to the citizens of Dallas County and surrounding areas in Texas. The leadership that DCCCD has in the community is a direct result of the leadership within the organization. We will focus on the current Chancellor, Dr. Joe May. The Dallas County Community College District was created in 1965 when Dallas County voters voted to create Dallas County Junior College District and the founding Chancellor, Dr. Bill J. Priest, was chosen to lead. It is a non-profit two-year college system located within Dallas County limits. Starting with one campus located in downtown Dallas, the DCCCD has grown to seven campuses with five community education campuses located across Dallas County and giving many locations options to the residents of Dallas County. The name was changed in 1972 to its current form. The DCCCD offers online classes and this expands the availability of higher education and job training. The DCCCD is individually accredited through the seven main campuses by the Southern Association of Colleges and School Commission on Colleges and goes through the reaccreditation process every ten years. DCCCD offers college classes to earn an associate degree and/or transfer to a four-year institution that offers a bachelor’s degree. In addition, …show more content…

Based on presenting information, Mrs. William and Paul were included in the treatment process. However, Peter and the LCSW preselected sessions that families could attend. During the first session, the LCSW began by asking a question Peter what he wanted from agreeing to therapy. Peter responded that he wanted to “get help with managing stress, marital issues and communication tactics.” When asked how he would know that he was getting that helped, he said he would be relaxed at home, and sociable and his marriage will start to feel like a partnership again. This was expanded on when the Miracle Question (MQ) was asked. LSCW: “Peter, if you woke tomorrow and all of your issues were no longer present what are some things that would be different.”

Harold Washington College the fifth oldest of seven city colleges is formerly named Loop College, opened in 1962. Loop College was renamed in April 1962, to commemorate and memorialize Mayor Harold Washington, the first African-American mayor of Chicago. The name change was appropriate, given the fact that Mayor Harold Washington was an alumnus of City Colleges of Chicago. Additionally, he was known best for his love for education, community, and bringing together diverse groups of people to make lasting change. This message is echoed throughout the mission of Harold Washington College. In his commencement address to Loop College May 1984, he resounded a message upon which the culture of the college to this day stands strong.

The California Community Colleges (CCC) system is composed of 108 colleges organized into 72 districts that serve more than 1.4 million students statewide. Under the direction of the CCC board of governors, the Chancellor’s Office provides statewide guidance and leadership to the community colleges. In addition, the voters in each district elect a board of trustees charged with developing local policies that govern the day-to-day operations at the district’s colleges, including overseeing the compensation of teaching faculty and other employees. For the fall 1999 semester, the districts reported to the Chancellor’s Office a total population of 41,754 teaching faculty, of which 28,180 (67 percent) were classified as part-time and 13,574 (33
First, you must apply for CCCC. This means that Collin accepts you in their college. Then you have to complete a High School Student Enrollment Permission Form and either email it to the college or go in person to the college and turn it into the Dual Credit Office. You must provide an Official High School Transcript that you get from the front office. It will be a sealed by a little piece of white tape and a signature. DO NOT OPEN IT. I will repeat it again. DO. NOT. OPEN. OR. BREAK. THE. SEAL. If you do, it will not be an official transcript anymore. Trust me, I’ve made this mistake before. You have to go to the college to give this in, so it might be good to wait to get all these documents and just go to the college and turn them in at once. If you are going to be taking classes on campus you will need your bacterial meningitis vaccine, proof you already had it and it is still valid, or proof that you don’t believe in vaccines. If you are taking classes online there is a waiver you need to fill
While universities can range from having 20-1000 participants at a time, community colleges usually have no more than 50 participants in a class. As a result of such a large class size, it is harder for a professor to be able to develop the one-on-one time with a student. Due to most community colleges having a lower number of participants, it becomes easier for a student to reach out and ask questions and receive proper answers.

Besides the concerns, there are many challenges for implementing CBE across all colleges and universities that lie in the basis of the American higher education system. The first one is the Carnegie Unit that is time-based and that is a basis for awarding financial aid to students (Silva et al, 2015). The second one is the complexity of re-designing curriculum into interrelated competencies and the problem of identifying these competencies in the current diverse educational landscape (Silva et al,
The court’s decision to recommend that KDCP provide $400,000 worth of free SAT test prep would benefit the less fortunate students that could not afford the costly test prep course, the parents of those students, KDCP and College Board. The losing side of this settlement are the students that worked hard to study for the SAT without using a test prep service to earn their scores. Using the utilitarian perspective in order for the settlement to be ethically recommendable, the most parties possible would be happier with the outcome. In other words, the greatest good for the greatest number (Brusseau, 2012, p.55).
