Learning Communities emphasize collaborative partnerships between students, faculty, and staff. Learning Communities help in the attempt to restructure the curriculum to address barriers to educational excellence. Learning Communities are small groups or cohorts of students who share common academic goals and work collaboratively with other students, faculty, and staff. Hudson County Community College has seen an increase in student success with students who enroll in a learning community. Students develop a positive rapport with the faculty, with each other, and with the academic coach who provides support both inside and outside of the classroom. Learning Communities at Hudson County Community College helps students make connections among courses, achieve academic success, and stay in school and graduate. In addition, Learning Communities encourage the integration of curriculum, provide a community setting based on the delivery of academic support programs, and provide a setting for students to understand the expectations of college. Participants in this workshop will participate in an interactive discussion explaining how to successfully organize a learning community program. The presentation will also include a PowerPoint, data, and information on the success Hudson County Community College is having with these programs. Student testimonials will also be included. A question-and-answer session will be provided to allow participants to ask questions.
