Student-Centered Practice in the 21st Century Community College
Decker, Amber
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v37 n7 p561-565 2013
This article reflects how the student development theories of William Perry and Robert Kegan are useful in understanding the student behaviors in community and technical colleges. Leaders of these organizations must incorporate theory-based practices in order to promote a student-centered culture. Examples are given as illustrations of how community colleges can put student development theories into practice to facilitate student success in the 21st century.
