Exploring the Faculty Role in Guided Pathways

Playing the Believing Game with Jen Whetham

A Series of Winter Quarter Webinars

So at this point, you’ve probably heard the term “Guided Pathways” floating around the halls or mentioned at meetings. Maybe you know a lot about it, or maybe just a little. According to the faculty survey<http://bit.ly/2odbDJM>, many practitioners in our Washington State CTC system are wondering not just what guided pathways is … but what this means for the work they care about—teaching and learning.



One survey respondent asked, How do I fit in?

Another wrote: Not knowing specifics on how they [faculty] fit in a Guided Pathways model. At my institution, it has only recently become a larger conversation, and there are a lot of basic discussions on what it even means. Another response: I think helping faculty understand their particular role in guided pathways--as opposed to the student services role--at their college.

And I just love this powerful question from a faculty member: Will it make faculty work more manageable and rewarding?

As a faculty developer, my best thinking, at this time, comes from Redesigning America’s Community Colleges. Bailey, Jaggers, & Jenkins, devote an entire chapter to instruction that, arguably, posits interesting answers to these questions. Titled “Rethinking Instruction<http://bit.ly/2nYFZQw>,” it merits a close read. As former English faculty and a Peter Elbow devotee, I’ve always loved his notion of playing “the believing game<http://bit.ly/371W3CK>.” So this winter quarter, I’ll be offering a webinar series exploring, unpacking, and inquiring into the core concepts of the chapter.

“The problems of racism in writing classrooms are not primarily pedagogical problems to solve alone. Racism is an assessment problem, which can only be fully solved by changing the system of assessment, by changing the classroom writing assessment ecology. Thus assessment must be reconceived as an antiracist ecology.”
