Welcome to the first Guided Pathways retreat for 2021-2022. The learning agenda for our collective journey this year has been built on the tremendous lift you have made with the work plans. As such, the focus will be placed on the colleges' shared priorities to move into transformative change for catalyzing your action plans. We will continue to dismantle inequitable policies and practices while engaging in the social justice work of reconstructing our system. As such, the learning outcomes for this retreat focus on the following college priorities: Intake & Onboarding, Placement practices, Engaging Student Voices, and the Structured Exploratory Sequence.
Learning Outcomes:

  *   Examine ways to prioritize transformative change within the intake process in alignment with essential practice areas (Intake, Sense of belonging, Structured Exploratory Experiences).
