Guided Pathways? Let’s Norm Ask the audience to get their writing devices and make note

the four pillars of guided pathways? Familiar with the four pillars of guided pathways?

Four Pillars of Guided Pathways

VISION FOR SUCCESS Goal 1 INCREASE the number of student earning credentials by at least 20% Goal 2 INCREASE the number of students who transfer by 35% Goal 3 REDUCE average units accumulated by students who complete degrees to 79

Policy Practice

Funding Formula (Past VS Present) BASE Allocation FTES 100% We must acknowledge our funding as critical in ensuring student program completion. Thanks to the hard work of so many across campus and the due diligence of our administration, faculty chairs, and others, we’ve been able to hire in mass waves the past several years with 55 faculty last year alone. These additional faculty have been critical in allowing us to expand our reach, open more courses and sections, and serve more students in ways that meet growing demands in Kern County. However, as you’re likely aware, the state is reconsidering its current funding model to include performance metrics in its formula. While many iterations of the proposed funding model exist, some form of performance-based funding exist as a major funding block in each. In the latest projections, BC takes a hit… We take a hit, because our rates at BC for transfer, degree/certificate completion, and even CTE employment are lower than statewide averages as you can see in the red italics in the top bar. So for us to sustain the levels of resources we have, its critical we address our program completion and transfer. It’s also important to note here that success block doesn’t include individual course completion. It looks at Program Completion.

Pillar I: Clarify the Path

To this…

The Guided Pathways work calls for all colleges to develop and publish program maps that specify term-by-term pathways from program entry through completion. These maps are powerful tools both for students and for faculty members and staff who must grapple with the task of clarifying complex catalog and transfer information. The work of developing these pathways requires attention to a number of factors including transfer destination, unit load, and developmental requirements. Enabling students to clearly visualize what is involved in a typical or possible program pathway as well as the types of occupations and associated labor market information has been demonstrated to increase program engagement and retention

Overall, 22.6% of students attempted 15 or more units by the end of fall 2017 (n=1,124). The overall mean number of units attempted was 11.1, the median was 12, and the standard deviation was 5.0.
