Experience
EXPERIENCE My experience goes with respect to my educational philosophy, which is one that demands excellence from my history or political science students. It is my belief community colleges should be the next step in preparing or developing students for his/her place of employment or university campus experiences. In achieving that vision I wanted to outline three essential goals for community colleges in the twenty first century. First, our community colleges are essentially the educational beacons of light in our business and learning community. For example, there is a very strong relationship between Tarrant County College and UTA's (University Of Texas) nursing and Capstone programs. This program is designed to assist the student at the college level while preparing that student for the university; essentially guaranteeing employment for that student in nursing, criminal justice, teaching after all requirements have been met in those respective disciplines. Second, as community colleges prepare students for challenges academically and professionally, administrators must be bold enough to assist students in their educational endeavors. Third, on a personal note, I believe had I not attended a community college, I would have never been able to be prepare for my own educational challenges or goals. Last but certainly not least, on a competitive note, today's community colleges have to compete with the medical assistant, pharmacy technical and other trade schools who want to "side step" traditional education in allowing the student to use eighteen to twenty-four months of learning the basics of writing, philosophy, history and government. In today’s educational climate with high cost of going to college and a demanding technical society that may not be in the best interest of students. All community colleges must understand they have a stake within that community it serves which is to educate its community. I am very proud of the initiatives that most community colleges have endeavored in its learning, civic, and business communities.
