<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">Dear Faculty Member,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">So it’s likely you’ve heard the term “Guided Pathways” floating around the hallways, and it’s no secret that the Washington State legislature gave our colleges
34 million to fund this initiative.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">But what is guided pathways (GP), exactly? One of the trends showing up in the 431 responses to the
<a href="http://bit.ly/2odbDJM">faculty survey</a> (it’s still open, so add your voice!) is a lack of access to basic knowledge about GP (the what). Another theme showing up is a need for effective communication with faculty as to their role and how GP will
impact their work in and outside the classroom (the how). Still another is a feeling that faculty input has not been solicited in meaningful way. And of course, lots of people are wondering if we even need this reform at all (the why). Or, if we do need a
reform, then why this one? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">When I think about this year’s Assessment, Teaching, and Learning Conference, the ATL, coming up this May 2020 … well, I have a lot of thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">For one thing, we have a moment that is unlike any other. For one thing, it’s 2020. I mean, like, it’s here. The Future.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">And we also have a moment where our collective attention is focused on something. Whether or not it’s the right thing, given all of the things competing for our
attention … that alone is powerful. The potential power of our collective attention is not to be taken lightly or glossed over. I can’t think of one faculty member I know who is not incredibly busy. E-mail. Students. Other faculty. Colleagues from around the
administration. Committees. Department meetings. And that’s just work life. What about those who have littles? Or aging parents? It’s a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">That, my friend and colleague, is where the ATL Conference comes in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">We’ve always convened faculty, for the last 30 years, regardless of the
<i>lingua franca</i> or legislative mandate of the day, to leverage whatever that thing is people are talking about (or worried about or wondering about or angry about or excited about—the responses are always a spectrum). NOT because we want you to drink the
proverbial Kool-Aid, but so that we can facilitate the kinds of conversations that are important to faculty. The kinds of conversations that matter.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">Teaching. Learning. Students. What we’re doing in our classrooms: the good, the bad, the things that keep us awake at night. The problems of practice we’re encountering.
Learning from and with others about what they are doing so we can “steal” it (“All good poets steal,” says T.S. Eliot, and I think in this way, poeting is a lot like teaching).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">Those of you who know me know I’m former English faculty, and that I have long had a pedagogical crush on Peter Elbow. First it was freewriting and then it was
his notion of playing what he calls “<a href="http://bit.ly/371W3CK">the believing game</a>”—before you play the doubting game. And that’s what I’d like to do at the upcoming ATL Conference. With You.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">I think it’s also important to note that, at the ATL Conference, when we say we want to play the believing game about guided pathways, “We” (and by that I mean
me and my boss, Bill Moore) are <i>not</i> asking you to believe in guided pathways, per say.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">Rather, we want to get at what’s behind guided pathways and see what there is to believe in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">For example, there are lots of questions to ask about pathways that I’m not sure we’ve asked or entertained seriously. Questions like, “How can pathways be used
to deepen learning?” Or, “How might pathways help us work together to foster successful student learning?” I, for one, am dying to talk about how guided pathways could help us, as Gerald Graff called for us to do so many years ago, “<a href="http://bit.ly/2Hthf7k">End
CourseoCentrism</a>.” Or take seriously, as Dr. Bob Morhbacher describes in his doctoral dissertation, the idea that faculty is a collective noun.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">I had a memorable conversation with Dr. Bruce Hattendorf at Peninsula College recently where he described how pathways COULD
<span style="color:black">be a way for us to do things that we have been meaning or wanting to do for a long time, but haven’t been able to do because our institutions aren’t built for them. He specifically mentioned high impact practices such as student learning
communities, writing across the curriculum, undergraduate research opportunities …<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black">Rest assured that we can play the doubting game at the ATL too. Martin Cockcroft, one of our professional developers, asked this question in a recent
presentation called “<a href="http://bit.ly/2KA0U4n">Supporting Faculty in their Real Work</a>”:
<i>How do we make space for dissenting voices beyond hallway conversations?</i> <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black">So I want the ATL Conference to be a space for doubting as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">This is all to say I hope you’ll save the date and start navigating your institutional paperwork processes so we can, collectively, as many of us as possible,
pause between the stimulus of the initiative and the money and the legislation and our gut-level responses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">I think the quote from Viktor E. Frankl, above, is resonant for a lot of different contexts and situations, and I hope he won’t roll over in his grave that I’m
using it in this one, writing about an arguably top-down change initiative in higher education.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">But I want the ATL Conference, this year, to be that space, in a literal and a metaphorical sense. Let’s pause, for 3 days, and choose our response. Let’s claim
growth. Let’s claim freedom. Let’s find out what’s behind guided pathways that we can believe in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif;color:black">I had another significant conversation with Dr. Judy Loveless-Morris, VP of Equity and Diversity at Tacoma CC, that deeply informed and inspired my
thinking about this year’s conference theme: “it’s hard to imagine what you haven’t seen,” she said, and I thought,
<i>#TRUTH<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">So let’s imagine what we haven’t seen … yet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">I can’t do it alone, sitting in my ivory cubicle at the State Board. We can’t even do it, I would argue, within our own campuses. For real growth and freedom,
we need access to other faculty from around our Washington State CTC system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">As a faculty professional developer, I can throw an idea party, but I need the right guests for it to be an absolute blast.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif">If you’ve stuck with me and you’ve read this far … know that I choose you. You’re invited. I want you there.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
