Hardcover. Condition: Good. ?Shines a light on institutions that are teaching students, young and old, how to rebuild our economy and put America back to work? (President Bill Clinton).It?s a statistic that?s sure to surprise: Close to forty-five percent of postsecondary students in the United States today did not enroll in college directly out of high school, and many attend only part-time. Following a tradition of self-improvement as old as the Republic, the ?nontraditional? college student is becoming the norm. Back to School is the first book to look at the schools that serve a growing population of ?second-chancers,? exploring what higher education-in the fullest sense of the term-can offer our rapidly changing society and why it is so critical to support the institutions that make it possible for millions of Americans to better their lot in life.In the anecdotal style of his bestselling Possible Lives, Mike Rose crafts rich and moving vignettes of people in tough circumstances who find their way, who get a second . . . or third . . . or even fourth chance, and who, in a surprising number of cases, reinvent themselves as educated, engaged citizens. Rose reminds us that our nation?s economic and civic future rests heavily on the health of the institutions that serve millions of everyday people-not simply the top twenty universities listed in U.S. News and World Report-and paints a vivid picture of the community colleges and adult education programs that give so many a shot at reaching their aspirations.?Thoughtful and surprising.? -The Washington Post?Inspiring stories of older Americans attending secondary schools.? -Kirkus Reviews.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Reprint. The statistics come as a total surprise to most: 45 percent of postsecondary school students do not enroll directly out of high school. Many are part-time students, people who are returning to school after life intervened, or otherwise nontraditional learners-and this segment is growing. Back to School is the first book to look at this population of second chancers, in a work that Make magazine calls optimistic yet simultaneously realistic.Writing in the anecdotal style of his bestselling Possible Lives, veteran educator Mike Rose paints a vivid picture of the community colleges and adult education programs that give millions of Americans a shot at reaching their aspirations. Chapters treat topics from remedial education and bridging the academic-vocational divide to the economic and social benefits of returning to school, the importance of second-chance education for democracy, and the college-for-all debate. Throughout, Rose combines what Education Digest calls rich and moving vignettes of people in tough circumstances who find their way with what Publishers Weekly calls highly practical areas for improvement in higher ed, such as orientation programs, occupational schools, physical campus layouts, and pedagogical training for new teachers.
