2 Guided Pathways Work Plan Plan for Implementation Spring 2018-Summer Cross Functional Inquiry College constituents (including staff, faculty across disciplines and counselors, administrators, and students) examine research and local data on student success and discuss overarching strategies to improve student success. College engages in broad, deep and inclusive discussion and inquiry about the Guided Pathways approach, framework and evidence. Current Scale of Adoption: Early Adoption Anticipated by Summer 2019: Full Scale Continue providing research and local data on student success for the program review process which requires analysis of the data to determine how to improve student outcomes. Continue to provide trainings and workshops on how to use publicly available data sources (e.g., CCCCO Scorecard, Launchboard GP Tab) and locally developed data dashboards. Include Guided Pathways as discussion item on all shared governance committees. Provide a mechanism for pillar teams to request and review data for informing planning. Review and revision of policies and procedures that are identified as barriers for student success. 2. Shared Metrics - College is using clearly identified benchmarks and student data to track progress on key activities and student academic and employment outcomes. Those benchmarks are shared across key initiatives. Current Scale of Adoption: Early Adoption Anticipated by Summer 2019: Full Scale Modify current goal setting process to be more collaborative and inclusive; ensure goal-setting process is reflective of statewide changes in alignment with Vision for Success; Ensure goals align with KPIs for Guided Pathways. Incorporate employment data in institutional goals (e.g., Gainful Employment Metrics). 8. Clear Program Requirements - (Clarify the Path) College is clarifying course sequences for programs of study (including key milestones) and creating predictable schedules so that students can know what they need to take, plan course schedules over an extended period of time, and easily see how close they are to completion. College offers courses to meet student demand. In order to meet these objectives, college is engaging in backwards design with desired core competencies. Cluster programs into metamajors and develop a template for program maps. Create program maps for select (~20) programs by December 2018; all programs by summer Plan for the integration of degree audit with scheduling practices. 11. Strategic Professional Development - (Help Students Stay on the Path; Ensure Students are Learning) Professional Development (PD) is strategically, frequently, and consistently offered for staff, faculty and administrators and aligned with the college s strategic goals, needs and priorities identified in integrated plans, program review, and other intentional processes. Current Scale of Adoption: Scaling In-Progress Anticipated by Summer 2019: Full Scale Continue attending CA Guided Pathways Project Institutes and CCCCO Guided Pathways workshops. Send a team to the RP Group Leading from the Middle Academy to investigate options for a First- Year Experience. Visit other colleges that have effectively implemented guided pathways practices.

3 Plan for Design Spring 2018-Summer 2019 Guided Pathways Work Plan 3. Integrated Planning - College- wide discussions are happening with all stakeholders and support/commitment has been expressed by key stakeholders to utilize the Guided Pathways framework as an overarching structure for the college s main planning and resource allocation processes, leveraging existing initiatives and programs. 4. Inclusive Decision-Making Structures - College has identified key leaders that represent diverse campus constituents to steer college-wide communication, input and decisions regarding the Guided Pathways framework. Constituents have developed transparent cross- functional workteams to provide the Guided Pathways effort with momentum and regularly provide opportunities for broad college-wide input. In addition, this plan strategically engages college governance bodies college-wide. Revise AP2430: Shared Governance. Design reporting and communication structure for Guided Pathways and committee work. 6. Guided Major and Career Exploration - (Help Students Choose and Enter a Pathway) College has structures in place to scale major and career exploration early on in a student s college experience. Share career and labor market information on CTE program webpages and expand to all programs. First Year Experience Team will attend Leading from the Middle Academy and prepare options for committees to review and decide on best option for the College to implement. Design a new orientation as an experience compared to an activity. 7. Improved Basic Skills - (Help Students Choose and Enter a Pathway; Ensure Students are Learning) College is implementing evidence-based practices to increase access and success in college and/or transfer-level math and English. Review outcomes of recent placement reforms. Plan for AB705 full scale implementation. March 6, 2018 Page 3 of 5

4 Plan for Inquiry Spring 2018-Summer 2019 Guided Pathways Work Plan 5. Intersegmental Alignment - (Clarify the Path) College engages in systematic coordination with K-12, four-year institutions and industry partners to inform program requirements. Current Scale of Adoption: Early Adoption Anticipated by Summer 2019: Early Adoption Will not address during this time period. Planning year to include identifying key partners and types of activities with high schools and other sectors. 9. Proactive and Integrated Student Supports - (Help Students Stay on the Path) College provides academic and non-academic support services in a way that is proactive and aligned with instruction, so that all students are explicitly engaged in these services. Will not address during this time period. Planning year to investigate best options for an organizational structure for integrated student support and to investigate technology options for proactive student supports (e.g., early alert). 10. Integrated Technology Infrastructure - (Help Students Choose and Enter a Pathway; Help Students Stay on the Path) College has the technology infrastructure to provide tools for students as well as instructional, counseling, and student support faculty and staff to support planning, tracking, and outcomes for Guided Pathways. Current Scale of Adoption: Early Adoption Anticipated by Summer 2019: Early Adoption Will not address during this time period. Planning year to ensure that new Enterprise Resource Planning System (Oracle PeopleSoft) implementation aligns with the Guided Pathways framework and plans. Investigation of texting notification system. 12. Aligned Learning Outcomes - (Ensure Students are Learning) Learning outcomes are aligned with the requirements targeted by each program and across all levels (i.e., course, program, institutional) to ensure students success in subsequent educational, employment, and career goals. Will not address during this time period. Assessment of learning outcomes is at scale for all areas except for assessing employment outcomes for non-cte programs. This is a planning and research year to determine the best way to assess these outcomes for every program. 13. Assessing and Documenting Learning - (Ensure Students are Learning) The college tracks attainment of learning outcomes and that information is easily accessible to students and faculty. Consistent and ongoing assessment of learning is taking place to assess whether students are mastering learning outcomes and building skills across each program and using results of learning outcomes assessment to improve the effectiveness of instruction in their programs. 14. Applied Learning Outcomes - (Ensure Students are Learning) Students have ample opportunity for applied/contextualized learning and practice. Opportunities have been coordinated strategically within and/or amongst programs. Will not address during this time period. Assessment of learning outcomes is at scale for all areas except for assessing employment outcomes for non-cte programs. This is a planning and research year to determine the best way to disaggregate SLO data and use these outcomes to improve effectiveness of instruction in programs. March 6, 2018 Page 4 of 5
