[GuidedPathways] PLEASE READ > Guided Pathways Listserv Use

[Henry, Dutch]

Thanks, Kristi, for encouraging us to use this list as a way to crowdsource strategies and solutions for our ongoing Guided Pathways challenges. I'll be brave enough to take the first opportunity to ask for suggestions.

Among our many Guided Pathways projects at Shoreline, we are attempting to identify key gateway courses other than English or math that provide key pathways or potential barriers to students in their first year. We have used the Common Course Tableau Dashboard to identify the key common course numbered courses, but we have a couple of other challenges that we would like help with. Here are a few key questions:


  1.  How did you identify other key gateway courses other than English, math, and common course numbered courses? Did you only use enrollment numbers, for instance, or did you have other methods?
  2.  How did you facilitate discussion across campus and within programs regarding success rates, learning outcomes, and key assessments?
  3.  What methods did you use to identify other potential courses that could be gateway courses that were being underutilized by students?
  4.  Finally, what strategies have worked to increase success rates in these courses?

If you are willing to share and would prefer to email me directly rather than responding to the listserv, feel free to email me at dhenry at shoreline.edu.

Thanks,
Dutch

All,

In a recent dialogue with colleagues across several colleges in our system, it surfaced that this listserv would also be useful as a space where problems of practice can be shared, considered, and peers may bring their insights. I realize this may create a few additional emails (eek!), but it also has the potential to provide a collaborative space without another zoom meeting.  Thanks again to the practitioners who brought this forward- we will revisit how it’s working in a few months and adjust as necessary!

Best,

kwb
