Go2K: Equity Gaps & Guided Pathways Reform: A Roadmap For Faculty, Staff & Administration

With unacceptably low graduation rates, especially for students of color, colleges and universities seek ways to increase student success and reduce equity gaps. Therefore, whole-college student success reform efforts are needed. Guided pathways are one of the successful reform efforts that have gained momentum nationwide. However, for guided pathways to be successful, all faculty, staff, and leaders need to understand the why, the what, and the how of this national reform movement.

This session will first highlight the data illustrating the low completion rates of students and how even when students graduate, they have taken excess credits due to confusion around requirements. Next, we will discuss the four pillars of guided pathways so that participants understand the comprehensive approach behind this reform effort and the need for collaboration across the institution. The first pillar is clarifying pathways so that graduation requirements are clear to students. The second pillar focuses on ways to help students choose and enter a pathway. The third pillar is about helping students stay on their path. The fourth pillar, ensuring learning, requires colleges to reflect on and improve teaching and learning practices. Finally, participants will hear about several ways institutions have implemented guided pathways. This session will provide participants with the foundations of guided pathways, so they are prepared to engage in this work on campus. ^{Source: Go2Knowledge}
