[GuidedPathways] Review and Register: 2022 Spring Guided Pathways Student Success Institute

[Claudine Richardson]

Dear Community and Technical Colleges Colleagues,



Hello! Can you believe it is April already? Do you know what that means? Yes, the 2022 Spring Guided Pathways Student Success Institute, on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, will be here in no time. I am including the link to the online agenda here https://bit.ly/34IiSPD.



We currently have over 280 participants registered for the 2022 Spring Student Success Institute and 4 colleges pending registration. Special thanks to the colleges who decided to send a team of 12 or more members - even though they have an upcoming Board of Trustee meeting.



Expanding your invitation to your campus:

Some of you may have seen the suggested team composition. As this event is held virtually (via Zoom), there is no travel cost. Thus, it serves as an amazing opportunity to expand and invite team members who have not attended a Guided Pathways Institute or Retreat. Please consider inviting your Multicultural Student Services Directors to the Institute. Also, please consider inviting BIPOC members, staff, and faculty to the Spring Student Success Institute. Reason: They serve on hiring committees and are eager to know the ways these practices influence student success.



Guided Pathways College Clusters:

We will be working in Guided Pathways College Clusters. Please reference the link, prior to the event, to determine which cluster you will be joining: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1D8IjLC4w-kdBnyLtRTas6kLEZzlTI_fULiv3g2ErBs8/edit?usp=sharing

Introduction:

*       Welcome to the 2022 Spring Guided Pathways Student Success Institute agenda. We really had the opportunity to listen to your feedback from the 2021 Fall Guided Pathways Retreat and the 2022 Winter Guided Pathways Cohort Retreat. In these past retreats, we and the research recognize there is a correlation between student, faculty, and staff success. Also, the deep connection SB 5227 and 5194 for the Guided Pathways (HB2158) Essential Practices. Thus, we are focusing on ways we can support continued and new faculty and staff in their access, access + success, and their success. *This is an advanced facilitation to the SBCTC Equity Diversity and Inclusion office conversations that took place in March 2022.

Learning Outcomes:

*       Engage leaders from Washington's community and technical colleges in conversations to consider the question: What does racial equity in student success look like as a mirror to faculty and staff success in the areas of outreach, recruitment, campus learning communities, onboarding, retention, and promotion?

*       Consider the depth of equitable onboarding in the faculty and staff experience through an action planning experience



Location/Room: Virtual. A zoom link will be sent before the event and through the Canvas shell for participants.

Closed Captioning:

*       Live transcription will be available in main Zoom sessions.

*       We will have (American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreters present for all sessions. Please let us know if you require an ASL Interpreter during the breakout room activity.
