Every day we make decisions, without giving it much thought, such as deciding whether we're going to have eggs or cereal for breakfast. But the stakes are much higher when it comes to more complex decisions, and we may overlook important considerations and possibilities if we rely solely on intuition or past experiences. As our colleges begin exploring, developing or implementing guided pathways, we must consider how decision-making impacts the success - or failure - of our students. As one example, guided pathways seeks to move us away from the 'cafeteria-style' model, in which students face an almost dizzying array of program choices, to a more manageable set of options to consider - these are meta majors. For practitioners looking to design meta majors that work for students and educators, understanding the art and science of decision making will greatly and positively impact our work and how we serve our students. Registration Fee: $175 for participants from member colleges; $275 for non-members. Conference begins at 8:30; concludes at 3:30. Lunch and all materials are included in registration fee. REGISTER NOW Lodging: The Hilton Vancouver Washington is offering the rate of $129. Reservation must be made by October 25. RESERVE YOUR ROOM AT THE VANCOUVER HILTON NOW Questions?

Message-ID: [cid:image001.jpg at 01D21976.21816850] The CTCLDA is excited to announce our 3rd Conference in the Guided Pathways Series The Art and Architecture of Choice: Leveraging the Principles of Decision Science in a Guided Pathways Approach Join with colleagues from around the state to learn about this key foundation of creating well-designed meta majors! [cid:image002.jpg at 01D2197A.38D344C0] facilitated by Wendy de La Rosa of Irrational Labs! Friday, November 18, 2016 Hilton Vancouver, WA 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM Register Now! What is Decision Science? Have you ever stopped, befuddled, in the cereal aisle of the grocery store? Too much choice overwhelms, while too few choices artificially limits and restricts. Choice theory and decision science are about finding "the sweet spot" between too much choice and not enough. How Does this Relate to a Guided Pathways Approach? A Guided Pathways Approach asks practitioners to re-think and re-create institutional structure using four design principles-one of which is creating meta majors. As our colleges begin exploring, developing or implementing guided pathways, we all must consider how we scaffold decision-making processes for our students. As one example, guided pathways seeks to move us away from the 'cafeteria-style' model (in which students face an almost dizzying array of program choices), to a more manageable set of options to consider. In a guided pathways approach, these are called meta-majors. How Will This Impact My Work? For practitioners looking to design meta majors that work for students and educators, understanding the art and science of decision making will greatly and positively impact how we serve our students. How Much Does this Event Cost? $175 for participants from member colleges $275 for participants from non-member colleges Where Can I Stay? Reserve Your Room at the Vancouver Hilton!
