A new report from the Community College Research Center (CCRC), "Building Guided Pathways to Community College Student Success: Promising Practices and Early Evidence from Tennessee<https://aws.predictiveresponse.net/fwd.htm?redirect=https://ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/publications/building-guided-pathways-community-college-student-success.html&utm_source=AdaptiveMailer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Policy%20Alert&org=1081&lvl=100&ite=1031&lea=123492&ctr=0&par=1&trk=>," provides insight into how Tennessee community colleges are implementing "Tennessee completion practices" that reflect the guided pathways model. The report highlights how Tennessee community colleges have implemented guided pathways reforms across the following four areas:


*

Mapping pathways to student end goals

*

Helping students choose and enter a program pathway

*

Keeping students on path

*

Ensuring that students are learning




CCRC used a series of early momentum key performance indicators to assess the early impacts of the Tennessee completion practices. Some of the promising early trends across the key performance indicators included increases in first-time-ever-in-college-students credit accumulation during their first year and increases in the proportion of students who completed both college Math and English in their first year. The report concludes by discussing two areas of practices that Tennessee community colleges indicated are high priority for the next frontier of reforms:


*

Supporting Returning Adult Learners

*

Helping High School Students Explore College and Careers
