   SBCTC Lead: Claudine Richardson (crichardson at sbctc.edu<mailto:crichardson at sbctc.edu>)

   Speakers: Brigid Nulty (Director of Guided Pathways) and Dr. Dutch Henry (English Faculty and Higher Ed English lead for Bridge to College) Shoreline Community College. Open to all interested in learning and/or sharing.

   Introduction:
*       Welcome to the Community of Practice for Guided Pathways.
*       A community of practice is a cohesive informal community that embodies a "culture of learning in which everyone is involved in a collective effort of understanding" (Rogers, 2000). In this space, shared responsibility for moving through the process of learning is communal among all members: the group is convened through shared participation, and each member uses their knowledge, skills, and abilities to contribute with and among each other.
*       The Community of Practice for Guided Pathways<https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/programs-services/student-success-center/default.aspx> is intended to provide support, by college clusters, to Guided Pathways team members using the Constellations as an equity framework. We will convene for 1 to 1.5 hours each day (March 7th or March 14th). Breakout room sessions will be by college cluster (if feasible).

   Purpose:
*       The purpose is to create a space (requested by colleges) to share how they are developing an essential practice of priority area for Guided Pathways that is directly related to loosely similar college characteristics.

   Closed Captioning:
*       SBCTC is committed to providing equal access for individuals with disabilities to its programs and events in accordance with the ADA and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
*       Live transcription will be available in main Zoom sessions.
*       Please let us know if you require closed captioning by contacting amontenegro at sbctc.edu<mailto:amontenegro at sbctc.edu>, so we might provide the best possible opportunity to support collective and individual learning.
