<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">I'm writing from the 2025 Assessment, Teaching, and Learning (ATL) Conference, where this year’s theme, “Centering Students, Centering Learning,” is being brought to life in powerful ways. Guava
Jordan, Policy Associate for Faculty Development and Ensured Learning and the primary organizer of the conference, has created space for students not just to be present—but to lead. Students are facilitating workshops, speaking on panels, and sharing bold
ideas for change. This is what it looks like to truly center student voices.</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif;color:#0F4761;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<h2 style="mso-margin-top-alt:8.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:4.0pt;margin-left:0in">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">But this year’s ATL theme invites us to go even deeper—not just to center students, but to center learning. What are we learning from students, about students, and about how we serve them? How do
we assess that learning, and—most importantly—how does it change us? Centering voice is not enough on its own. Real change happens when we reflect on what we hear, confront difficult truths, and commit to changing our behaviors, policies, and practices. As
institutions and as a system, sometimes we must lead with changed behaviors, even as we continue to learn and grow.</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif;color:#0F4761;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">This is the heart of Guided Pathways: placing students at the center, applying what we know works, learning along the way, and making ongoing improvements. While every campus role contributes to
student success, faculty play a uniquely critical role in ensuring learning happens at the course, program, and pathway level.</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif;color:#0F4761;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>

<span style="color:black">energizing to see faculty come together at ATL to share their Guided Pathways work—integrating advising into instruction, experimenting with AI, and rethinking assessment strategies. This is where transformation lives: in the daily

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">To increase flexibility for colleges, the Legislature’s final budget proposal removes several spending provisos while retaining the associated funding in our base appropriations—including funding
for Guided Pathways. Under this proposal, the funding source shifts from the Workforce Education and Innovation Account to the general state appropriation.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#0F4761;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<h3 style="mso-margin-top-alt:8.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:4.0pt;margin-left:0in">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">This change is a positive development. It signals long-term stability by embedding Guided Pathways support directly into our core budget. However, this also means our commitment to transparency and
alignment with the original intent of the funding—system transformation focused on equity and student success—is more important than ever.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#0F4761;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></h3>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">Looking ahead, I’ll be engaging with presidents and chancellors to develop a shared approach for tracking and reporting spending that maintains accountability while supporting innovation.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#0F4761;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></h3>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">As a reminder, WACTC has played a central role in determining how Guided Pathways dollars are distributed. The current allocation formula—based on WACTC’s recommendation—splits funding 50% by student
FTE with Running Start and 50% by student headcount without Running Start, using three-year averages.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#0F4761;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<h3 style="mso-margin-top-alt:8.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:4.0pt;margin-left:0in">
<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:normal">Next steps include the governor’s final budget approval, WACTC review and recommendation, and final action by the State Board.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#0F4761;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></h3>

<p>In Fall 2023, presidents and chancellors across Washington voted to pursue a system-wide Request for Proposals (RFP) for student success software, supported by SBCTC and designed to allow for two-way integration with PeopleSoft. Over the past year, a systemwide
workgroup defined the purpose and functional requirements for the RFP.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>During fall quarter, a review team of system representatives (listed below) evaluated 11 submitted proposals. In January, the top four vendors—ConexEd, EAB, Frequency Foundry, and HighPoint—were invited to present product demonstrations, highlight accessibility
features, and engage in Q&A sessions with stakeholders. A full process overview and timeline is available
<u><span style="color:#467886"><a href="https://infograph.venngage.com/pl/YBHZ6XQ6as8"><span style="color:#467886">here</span></a></span></u>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>ConexEd has been identified as the Apparent Successful Vendor based on evaluation scores. While this does not guarantee a final contract award, it indicates that ConexEd currently holds the most competitive position in the process. The platform has also
undergone internal and external functional testing, including accessibility evaluations to identify areas for improvement.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Next steps include negotiations focusing on key considerations such as:<o:p></o:p></p>
