Community College Partnership Models for Workforce Education Sustainability and Integrated InstructionSRI International's Center for Technology in Learning, Ames & Associates, and four Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Centers (The National Workforce Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET) at Bellevue Community College in Washington, the National Center for Manufacturing Education (NCME) at Sinclair Community College in Ohio, the National Center for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Center at Springfield Technical Community College in Massachusetts, and the Center for Information Technology Education (CITE) in Nashville, Tennessee) join forces in a four-year research study. The goals of the targeted research study are to (1) describe partnership models to integrate industry goals in the classroom; (2) characterize approaches for guiding and transforming instruction; (3) disseminate useable tools and materials for partnership building and workforce-integrated instruction; and (4) create a framework to inform future research into the mechanism that lead to a learning college culture. Intellectual Merit: The targeted research study takes a multi-method, multi-site approach to examine the effectiveness of industry-community college partnerships and workplace relevance of ATE-sponsored instructional approaches. The results of the research have the potential of producing an analytic framework to guide the design of future studies into the mechanisms that community colleges use to support continuous improvement in curriculum and instruction. Broader Impact: This effort results in the production of usable tools and materials for practitioners to deepen industry-community college partnerships and to integrate industry goals into both technician and transfer-credit classrooms through specific instructional techniques. The addition of case studies provides an in-depth examination of how industry-community college partnerships prioritize the needs of underrepresented groups and address them through classroom instructional practices.

劳动力教育可持续性和综合教学的社区学院合作模式SRI国际学习技术中心、艾姆斯&协会和四个高级技术教育（ATE）中心（华盛顿贝尔维尤社区学院的国家新兴技术劳动力中心（NWCET），俄亥俄州辛克莱社区学院的国家制造业教育中心（NCME），位于马萨诸塞州斯普林菲尔德技术社区学院的国家信息和通信技术中心（ICT）和位于田纳西州纳什维尔的信息技术教育中心（CITE）联合进行了一项为期四年的研究。 有针对性的研究研究的目标是（1）描述合作伙伴关系模型，将行业目标融入课堂;（2）描述指导和转变教学的方法;（3）传播可用的工具和材料，用于建立伙伴关系和劳动力整合教学;（4）创建一个框架，为未来的研究提供信息，从而形成学习型大学文化。 智力优势：有针对性的研究采取了多方法，多站点的方法来检查的有效性，行业社区学院的合作伙伴关系和工作场所的相关性的ATE赞助的教学方法。 研究结果有可能产生一个分析框架，以指导设计未来的研究，社区学院使用的机制，以支持不断改进的课程和教学。 更广泛的影响：这一努力的结果是为从业者生产可用的工具和材料，以加深行业与社区学院的伙伴关系，并通过特定的教学技术将行业目标融入技术人员和学分转换教室。 案例研究的增加提供了一个深入的研究如何行业社区学院的合作伙伴关系优先考虑代表性不足的群体的需求，并通过课堂教学实践来解决这些问题。
