Abstract

This chapter explores various theories of change for community colleges and examines how external agencies and funders have sought to support reforms that improve success for diverse groups of students. The author provides a preliminary scan of how successful institutionalization attempts have been, including national and regional examples, and suggests ways that community colleges can sustain reforms over time.
