4. ASCCC, Decision-Making and Guided Pathways
Role of the faculty in decision-making codified in Education Code and clarified in Title 5 regulations
Consistently ASCCC has reaffirmed shared governance in the context of Guided Pathways
ASCCC’s role as provided of professional development for faculty and engagement with system partners and the CCCCO
Guided Pathways Liaisons
ASCCC Academic Academy, September 14-15, 2018
Many breakouts and general sessions at plenaries and institutes on GP
Resolutions and Rostrum articles affirming the role of local senates

5. The Local Picture: What do the Faculty Say
Locally, most decision making structures have similar components
Faculty reassigned to take on leadership roles
A high-level oversight body created specifically for guided pathways leadership that interacts and reports to existing governance structures
Effective design, implementation, and sustainability must rely as much as possible on existing decision-making structures
Get on governance committee agendas

6. Characteristics of Effective Decision-making Structures
Fluid and able to change as the work changes
Integrated with existing governance structures
Institutionalization of a mature structure is needed
Communicates the "problem"(making – and re-making the case) to all in the governance structure and consistently and returns to these foundational principles
Values and pursues full campus participation
High-level leadership is supportive and engaged
Supports all those involved in the endeavor

7. Characteristics of an Effective Oversight Body
Has a clearly defined connection to existing governance structures
Is inclusive – it is critical that traditional “silos” not be re-created as the college determines how to approach a full-scale guided pathways implementation
Has a clearly defined decision making-process
Has a clearly defined role and mission
Communicates its work to the college as a whole

8. Word from the Field: Bakersfield College1
Implementation Taskforce approved by the senate
Includes classified, admin and faculty
Positions identified by the need and tasks in our plan and ad hocs as needed
Faculty are compensated

Structure
Two leads with full reassign - Faculty and Dean
Oversight group - Pathways Implementation Team (PIT Crew)
Four workgroups, organized by pillars - faculty paid and others aren’t
More details: Cabrillo’s College’s GP Implementation Structure
Lessons Learned
Effort to mix Student Services, Instruction and Classified staff on teams supremely well worth it
Don’t organize work by the four pillars
Consider holding facilitation training for all the leads
Work out an equitable way to pay everyone for their time
Leverage resources: created new process to fund Guided Pathways redesign projects

Work groups created based on four work plan areas
GP Advisory Committee assembled / perspectives from all sectors
Program Mapping Design Team developed mapping process / work plan

12. Orange Coast College
Implementation Team: Partnered leadership from faculty and administration. There are three Design Teams
Design Teams:
Curricular Pathways Design Team- team to develop "meta-majors" or curricular pathways that are aligned with employment goals or future educational goals. Once the clusters are determined, programs and courses will be mapped to the pathways.
Onboarding Design Team- team to review all aspects from outreach, applications processes, registration, orientation placement and Ed-plans. Once the curricular pathways are determined, onboarding will be aligned to these mapped clusters.
Intervention Strategies Design Team- team to examine support structures to keep students on their path. Technology and programs will be evaluated from early alert at the course level through meeting their goals within their pathways and programs.
Reports to: Senate, Trustees, Student Senate
not part of the CA 20 or AACC

Institutional Effectiveness and Inclusive Excellence Committee (IE)2
Small steering committee and a subcommittee of the College Planning Team (CPT)
Seven workgroups under (IE)2
Workgroup model promotes cross-functional collaboration and inquiry
(IE)2 pays close attention to meeting facilitation to ensure collaboration and the sense that all are heard
Stresses “making the case” so people feel the “calling” of the work
Effective decision-making grounded in communication
1 College of the Canyons is one of the 20 colleges participating in the California Community Colleges Foundation Pathways Project

16. Word from the Field: MiraCosta1

At the end of this session we will have a collection of the things that have worked so far for various colleges. November 21, :30- 1:30
Starting the New Year Right: Listening to Students on Opening Day and Beyond
Student voices and experiences are a powerful asset when making your case for guided pathways and are crucial data when designing your college's guided pathways framework. But what are effective ways to engage students in guided pathways conversations and design? In this session, presenters will offer ideas for working with students and collecting data to inform your guided pathways efforts. November 28, :30-1:30
