Community College Fall 2020 Opening Plans
Posted July 4th
Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence. ~ Abigail Adams
In our last post we provided some links to the opening plans for four-year colleges for the fall 2020 semester. In this post we take a look at how community colleges are handling the opening for fall. Of course, the majority of community colleges don’t have a residential component (dormitories), so that reduces the complexity for a campus opening. At least here in California, most community colleges seem to be moving forward with a hybrid model for fall 2020. Meaning that the majority of all courses will be in a virtual (online) format with some coursework on campus. The courses on campus seem to overwhelmingly be hands on, career education courses and science labs. There is, for obvious reasons, a general focus on critical occupations related to the coronavirus. This means health occupations are a primary focus. Followed by safety programs (fire and police) and other sectors such as transportation.
