Building BlocksStudent Completion & Equity
First Year Experience/Foundations of Excellence ASAP, CUNY Start Achieving the Dream, Completion By Design, AAC&U Developmental Education Reforms Plentiful Institutional and State Initiatives…..All involving Examination and Use of Data,
Especially Data Depicting Student Success and Equity Multiple Evidence-Based Interventions – Very Few of Them
Scaled And now, Guided Pathways

What % of entering students present at census date never complete a college credit?What % of entering students complete college‐level gatekeeper courses (ENG, MA, other) in their first year?What % of students complete a full‐program academic plan by the end of their first semester? What % of entering students complete at least 3 courses in their program of study in their first year?Bonus: What is the average # of college‐level credits earned by an associate degree graduate?

Reviewing the Evidence
Organizational Change
Discrete practices will not lead to substantial improvements in outcomes at scale.
Every college is perfectly designed to produce precisely the results it is currently getting.
If nothing changes, nothing changes.

Reviewing the Evidence for Pathways Reforms
Behavioral Economics and Decision Theory
Too many choices indecision, procrastination, decision paralysis, bad choices: BRAIN FREEZE
A clear and simplified set of options, with clear information on costs and benefits—or provision of a “default option” —helps people make better decisions.
Reminders, assistance, and feedback help keep people on track
CCRC, What We Know about Guided Pathways
![Page 6: GUIDED PATHWAYS What We’ve Learned · Too many choices indecision, procrastination, decision paralysis, bad choices: BRAIN FREEZE A clear and simplified set of options, with clear](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060402/5f0e4ca47e708231d43e9139/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Pathways?What We’ve Learned
Behavioral Economics and Decision Theory
“Completing college is the result of successfully navigating a multitude of smaller decisions from start to finish. But for many college students, finding a path to completion is the equivalent of navigating a shapeless river on a dark night—and the wider the river, the more difficult it can be to find the way.”
Judith Scott-Clayton (2011)

Reviewing the Evidence for Pathways Reforms
Cognitive Science
Students benefit when they have clear goals and a concrete sense of how they are progressing toward those goals.
Instructional program coherence improves learning.

School of Hard Knocks Scaling up is hard to do. ♫
Starting is often easier than stopping.
Campus engagement is not optional.
We love our cafeteria college!

FACULTY WORK
• Program mapping:
‐ Course sequences specified‐ Learning outcomes defined and aligned, accruing to program level
• Pathways design:‐ What is “the right math” for this pathway?
‐ How can we embed discipline‐appropriate academic supports in courses?
‐ How will we integrate discipline‐appropriate applied/experiential learning experiences throughout the pathway?
‐ How will we align curricular (in‐classroom) and co‐curricular learning?

Career Community = Large-Scale Learning Community
Design Principles• Build the cohort• Create connections/ belonging• Emphasize purpose• Connect classroom to applied learning• Align co-curricular learning to interest area• Achieve high expectations through high support
![Page 61: GUIDED PATHWAYS What We’ve Learned · Too many choices indecision, procrastination, decision paralysis, bad choices: BRAIN FREEZE A clear and simplified set of options, with clear](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060402/5f0e4ca47e708231d43e9139/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Career Community = Large-Scale Learning Community
• Contextualize orientation and student success course/first-semester seminar into Career Communities
• Color codes, icons, lanyards, name tags, t-shirts• Counselors/ advisors embedded in Career Communities• Career exploration within Career Communities• Service learning/experiential learning assignments throughout
pathways• Area-appropriate student organizations• Organized study groups; reconfigured faculty office hours;
other academic supports

So, what do we stop doing?
![Page 63: GUIDED PATHWAYS What We’ve Learned · Too many choices indecision, procrastination, decision paralysis, bad choices: BRAIN FREEZE A clear and simplified set of options, with clear](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060402/5f0e4ca47e708231d43e9139/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
• Best practices should become institutional practices. Don’t keep doing what you know does not work.
• “Pockets of excellence” do not serve students equitably. Every institutional touch point should be a touch of excellence. Stop doing things that cannot be scaled effectively.
• Pilots should be short-term and lead to institutional change. Stop doing pilots when evidence supports change.
• No change for change’s sake. Change should be intentional and based on what you know about students.

• Too many meetings / committees are not examples of time well used. Re-examine committee structures and agendas.
• Siloed work is ineffective and inefficient. Establish short-term, cross-functional work groups, each with a clear charge and an end date.
• Collecting “shiny objects” through grant funding has become a normative pattern for community colleges. Do not seek grants or develop new projects that do not further the limited number of strategic priorities identified for the college.

EQUITY BY DESIGN
![Page 66: GUIDED PATHWAYS What We’ve Learned · Too many choices indecision, procrastination, decision paralysis, bad choices: BRAIN FREEZE A clear and simplified set of options, with clear](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060402/5f0e4ca47e708231d43e9139/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
ACHIEVING EQUITY
• Won’t happen by itself.
• Is accomplished through change in the educational experience designed for students – as it incorporates the best of what we’ve learned about what matters.
• Requires getting well past disaggregation of data…to the difficult work of uncovering and the addressing sources of institutional racism and unconscious bias.
• Equality Equity
![Page 67: GUIDED PATHWAYS What We’ve Learned · Too many choices indecision, procrastination, decision paralysis, bad choices: BRAIN FREEZE A clear and simplified set of options, with clear](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060402/5f0e4ca47e708231d43e9139/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
ACHIEVING EQUITY
• Examining program mix and enrollment patterns
• Reviewing processes through which we support students in exploring options and making choices.
• Integrating dramatically redesigned developmental education into pathways.

ACHIEVING EQUITY
• Embedding academic support within courses
• Attending to financial stability (including and beyond financial aid)
• Strengthening culturally responsive teaching; addressing unconscious bias across the campus community
• Diversifying faculty/staff/administration
