Summer Learning Communities Institute

Mission College, Santa Clara, CA

Welcome to the official web site for the Regional Learning Communities Consortium. The consortium was created in 1999 and is currently composed of twelve community colleges located in a four-county area of Northern California. In 2000, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation agreed to fund generously a first year "startup," supporting the design of learning community curricula, the training of new faculty in learning community pedagogy and assessment, and reinforcing of collaboration within the network. The first efforts were directed especially toward improving instruction and learning for underrepresented and underprepared students.

This web site is meant first to serve communication between members of the network and to provide a record of accomplishments and challenges. We hope it serves as well to extend our network beyond the consortium colleges to any college educators who might profit from information located on the web site and who might wish to communicate with consortium members. We invite your exploration and welcome your responses and suggestions.
