Basic Skills Education in Community Colleges: Inside and Outside of Classrooms
"Basic Skills Education in Community Collegesis one of the rare studies of higher education that takes us inside the classroom, in this case, community college basic skills classrooms. [Grubb and Gabriner] provide in just over 200 pages a comprehensive overview of the problems with instruction in remedial writing, reading, English as a second language, and mathematics and a set of recommendations for improving remediation." —Mike Rose, UCLA
