Student Voice in Guided Pathways Design
Designing for Guided Pathways
In designing various stages of Guided Pathways implementation and scaling up, below you will find a list of optional sample activities for your college to consider:
Mapping
When mapping for Guided Pathways, engage your campus and greater community in naming metamajors by creating a sorting activity; some examples are below:
- Use name cards for sorting in-person
- Create focused discussion forums or townhalls
- Send a survey
- Use the ASCCC mapping presentation Links to an external site. to start the process
Program Review
In program review desgining, consider backwards design and program architecture and review to identify needs of students; some examples are below:
- Make data-driven decisions a foundation to program review
- Consider turning the four pillars in questions to frame program review

- Use the ASCCC Program Review presentation Links to an external site. to start the process or the presentation on Program Review for Student Services Links to an external site.
Team Creation
Teams for Guided Pathways can be a great way to engage all campus leaders including students and to begin engaging in desiloing your campus; some examples are below:
- Create student success teams that engage all campus voices: students, staff, faculty
- Use the ASCCC presentations to engage student voices:
Continuous Improvement
Continuous improvement for colleges already further along in Guided Pathways design and implementation is important and a campus may consider engaging campus leaders in evaluating Guided Pathways efforts for such continuous improvement plans; examples of activities can be found in the Careers Ladder Project report Links to an external site. .
