Resources on Higher Education
This page lists resources on higher education, education in general, remediation and developmental education, psychology, science, statistics, and related fields and disciplines that I have used in my teaching, presenting, and papers. Much of it directly involves or is related to community college data. Citations are in APA 7th edition format, and there are sure to be errors. Most also have links so practitioners and policymakers are able to find and read them. They are in order by category but are revised regularly, so please check back for updates. If you have any to share, please contact me.
