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
