All,

I realize it’s been a bit like a roller coaster ride for months now, admittedly something I’m not particularly fond of, and it’s hard to see a curve in the road without cringing. In my experience, this has impacted futures planning a bit.  Of course it has! The state landscape feels unsettled, and we are grappling with budgetary and enrollment challenges and unknowns, concerns for the health of our communities, and wondering when we will EVER return to our physical classrooms, desks,  and shared spaces with our colleagues, friends and students. And that’s just at work! There are so many pieces of the world not following the rules of order we have come to expect- which thankfully means there are also possibilities emerging.

As we reflected on how this is impacting our collective efforts, we want to acknowledge that the layered, extended systemic crisis has impacted each of us, yet differently and disproportionately.  So… how do we challenge ourselves to continue the transformation of our institutions and system in the spaces and places we can? We focus our efforts.  It is critical to take a moment and prioritize action areas so the work can continue to move forward in this next season, in spite of these chaotic conditions.

As such, each Guided Pathways college lead (or co-leads) is asked to review your current college's 2020-2021 work plan and

submit your top three 2020-2021 institutional guided pathways priorities  HERE<https://forms.gle/S2tGkaNaQd19U3CH8> no later than September 18, 2020.

We will use this data to hone technical assistance, and most important, these will be what you report on in your 2020-2021 annual WA STATE report next year.

If you have questions, concerns or bright spots, please don’t hesitate to reach out… I miss our interactions and look forward to the time when we can celebrate being together again.

COLLEGE SPARK FUNDED COHORT COLLEGES PLEASE NOTE: This does not alter the expectations associated with Essential Practice Minimum Grant Expectations timeline described in the College Spark Guided Pathways Grant Work Plan that is associated with your College Spark Guided Pathways Grant.  As a reminder, these Minimum Requirements are intended as a general guideline intended to support Cohort Colleges in fully developing and implementing a Guided Pathways Model within the five years of the grant.  There is some flexibility in modifying this timeline however, and if you would like to propose an alternative time frame for your college that still meets this goal, please reach out to Heather Gingerich<mailto:heather at collegespark.org>  at College Spark to discuss this.

Take care of yourselves, and your circle,

kwb
