What are Guided Pathways? https://youtu.be/sptzyrvdilu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rom65ulvgcq
Why Guided Pathways? In CCC, 70% attrition from the point of application to the point of enrollment Students are more successful if they: Identify a career goal early Have a clear outline of the courses required Receive consistent guidance and support along the way And, if they feel: Directed Focused Nurtured Engaged Connected Valued
Is there fiscal support for creating GPs? In 2017, California leaders allocated $150 million from Prop. 98 funds for awards to community colleges to develop Guided Pathways Frameworks to support students All 114 California Community Colleges were eligible to receive award funding.
How are Guided Pathways different? Not an initiative: a way to integrate current student success initiatives Leverage the work we re already doing (AEBG, Strong Workforce, BSI, Equity, SSSP, ADT s, etc.) A structured, institutionalized approach to student success that overarches Student Services and Instruction: Provide all students with clear pattern for taking courses that promote better enrollment decisions Look at curricular pathways and ensure their clarity and alignment with workforce and transfer needs Integrate student services so students can get help during any step in their college journey Allow us to coordinate our funding more effectively
