  1. Guided Pathways 101 What EVERYONE at South needs to know about Guided Pathways Fall 2016, Guiding Team

  2. WHY?The Case for Guided Pathways

  3. “Guided Pathways are the Institutional Mechanism by which we will create Equity.”

  4. Alex visits our website and sees clear choices of programs of study • Alex can easily engage with us through an consistent and equitable intake/onboarding process that includes Orientation, Financial Aid and/or planning for funding • If Alex is firm in his/her plan, then there is a program-specific orientation process. If not, there are clear interventions and supports proactively offered to Alex to explore career options and the programs of study that lead to those careers including transfer degrees (career discernment) • Upon “declaring a major,” Alex is given a clear Program Map • Alex creates an Educational Plan with an Advisor that is tailored to that map and Alex’s own needs • Alex experiences a structured first-year experience, no matter what program Alex is in • Alex is proactively “checked up on” throughout enrollment and met with proactive interventions if s/he exhibits any behaviors or expresses concerns about persisting • Alex is provided with support for job search and transfer preparation • Alex is provided support to completely finish program or degree A Student’s Experience in a GP EnvironmentEVERY student is Alex

  5. WHAT?Four Elements of Guided Pathways

  6. CLARIFY THE PATH • Mapping programs “with the ends in mind” • Aligning course content and student learning outcomes • Identifying milestone courses • Defining default course sequences • Build curriculum coherence • Identify “the right math” • Select recommended core curriculum/ gen ed courses • Select recommended elective courses • Review pathway curriculum for coherence Designing & Implementing Pathways at Scale

  7. HELP STUDENTS CHOOSE AND ENTER A PATH • Strengthen & clarify student-facing information about jobs/careers/ transfer options. • Augment career exploration in earliest college experiences. • Redesign advising to align with critical student choices and milestones. • Embed intrusive advising in pathways. Designing & Implementing Pathways at Scale

  8. HELP STUDENTS STAY ON THE PATH • Ensure continuous, intrusive advising within pathways, noting milestone achievement, ensuring timely academic alert & support, and required advising when students go off path. • Integrate discipline-appropriate academic supports into every pathway – and in fact into every syllabus. Designing & Implementing Pathways at Scale

  9. ENSURE THAT STUDENTS ARE LEARNING • Intentionally design applied/experiential learning experiences throughout each pathway. • Promote discipline-appropriate strategies for active & collaborative learning (e.g., service learning, group projects). • Align discipline-appropriate co-curricular learning. • Strengthen assessment & documentation of student learning outcomes Designing & Implementing Pathways at Scale
