Books by Gail O. Mellow

Over 50% of US undergraduates are at community colleges. By many measures, particularly college completion, America's undergraduate education is underperforming. This is nationally important since America's future goes to college in these institutions. This book offers a successful and scalable solution to the current crisis by zeroing in on teaching and its corollary - learning.

Minding the Dream: The Process and Practice of the American Community College combines an analysis of the community college with critical perspectives and applied examples of issues and programs. Readers will come away with a specific sense of the community college mission and how colleges are or are not fulfilling it.
