Présentation de l'éditeur

This issue offers multiple perspectives on the ways community college faculty fulfill their complex roles. The first chapters draw on data from national surveys to provide a broad overview of the contemporary community college professoriate. Chapter authors also focus on community college faculty′s central responsibility: teaching. The volume next examines the practices and attitudes of particular groups of instructors, including part–timers, female faculty, and faculty of color. The concluding chapters explore faculty professional development, the formation of community within the community colleges, and the development of the professoriate as a profession.

This is the 118th issue of the Jossey–Bass series New Directions for Community Colleges.
