ASCCC Guided Pathways Task Force Survey - Spring 2018

The ASCCC Guided Pathways Task Force created a survey to identify specific information and tools to support academic senates through the design and implementation of a guided pathways framework.

Executive Summary: Rich data were collected from a survey sent to local academic senate presidents Spring 2018 about college engagement with guided pathways (GP). Overall, the data clearly show that colleges are engaged and faculty in most colleges are either leading or collaboratively guiding the work. There is still confusion about the various guided pathways programs, including the actual work of guided pathways such as how it is different from CTE pathways and first year experience. The survey clearly indicated areas of challenge and places that ASCCC can help the colleges in their implementation process. A list of benefits and potential negative outcomes provide great opportunity for training and resources to help colleges move in a positive direction. The need for models from other colleges, requests for clarity on verbiage and specific strategies indicated potential for regional visits, online resources and webinars. Numerous comments about addressing a collaborative and institution-wide vision indicate the importance of local communication and decision-making.
