ABSTRACT

As a concluding essay, the authors examine the common threads of this special issue as they pertain to future research, practice, and policy decisions about the role of community colleges in STEM education. Specifically, the authors discuss the ways in which current practices were measured and analyzed. As policy makers and stakeholders in education continue to raise expectations for community colleges to play a critical role in STEM education, the authors provide innovative research approaches and implications for all educational sectors to shape institutional and state policy issues.
