[Factc] Faculty! Are You Wondering What's Happening with Guided Pathways?

Wed Dec 18 14:28:24 PST 2019

Dear Faculty Members:

Now that finals are over and we're all breathing a much-deserved sigh of relief ... you may find yourself with the emotional and mental space to ask questions like, Hey! I wonder what's going on with Guided Pathways?

Wouldn't you just LOVE some artifacts to review over your time off?

I knew it.

You WOULD!

Here you go ...

Issue Briefs

How about a super well organized, high-level issue brief to give you information about the funding allocation? How would you feel if you knew there were not one, but FOUR (yes, FOUR!) Issue Briefs?

Websites
The fabulous Kristi Wellington-Baker is the big heart and mind behind the system-level guided pathways implementation and carrying this extraordinary lift for our colleges. She is ably and tremendously supported by the equally wonderful Lexi Swanson (who recently graduated from Pierce College!) They have worked very hard on the Student Success Center website pages to make sure you have access to all kinds of GP resources.

“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.”
