A Model for Diverse Learning Environments

The Scholarship on Creating and Assessing Conditions for Student Success

Part of the Higher Education: Handbook of Theory and Research book series (HATR,volume 27)

Abstract

Drawing from converging areas of scholarship in higher education on the diversity dynamics of an institution and its surrounding contexts, this chapter explores how different aspects of the institution—all of which are influenced by and contribute to the campus climate for diversity—play important roles in achieving student outcomes that also enhance social transformation for a just society. The authors present a model to guide research and practice in creating the conditions for student success in diverse learning environments.
