SMCCCD VP Meeting
GUIDED PATHWAYS
Goals today:
• Language norming
• Acknowledge existing work
• 3 principles from site visits and research
• CLP support overview
• Follow up with individual college meetings and
scoping
Completion Crisis
Nationally, 80% of entering Community
college students indicate an intent to
transfer and earn a BA.
National Center for Education Statistics
39% of first-time community college
students (who enrolled in 2008) earned
a credential from a 2 or 4 year institution within 6 years.
Ntl Student Clearinghouse, Shapiro &
Dundar, 2014

Credit may not “count”
“Students are surprised to learn that some of their
courses will not count towards the major that
they eventually select.” Nodine et al 2012
Financial implications:
“…a student who takes four years to earn an
associate degree can spend as much as $15,200
more on fees and other expenses, and will earn
$33,500 less than someone who graduated in
two years.”-The Campaign for College Opportunity
From the
Students’
Perspective:
• Navigation is
challenging
• Exploration unfocused
• Hundreds of programs
of study
• Many course options
Acknowledge Existing Work
• Multiple measures
• Middle colleges
• More formalized pathways, better articulation of programs
• College for Working Adults, specialized counseling
• National site visits, Skyline Promise
Guided Pathway Design Principles
1. Help students choose a program of
study
2. Help students get through by
clarifying course requirements for
each program
3. Help students reach completion or
successfully transfer by providing
proactive and integrated academic
and non-academic supports

Redesign Principle #1
For students who are undecided, exploratory or
“meta” majors:
• Help students with their college and
career exploration and choosing a field of
study
• Introduce students to competencies
upfront
• Are stackable and count toward
requirements
What is a Meta-major?
Meta-majors are collections of academic
majors (including CTE and transfer degrees).
Meta-majors cluster groups of majors that fit
within broader fields of study.https://valenciacollege.edu/academic-affairs/new-student-experience/meta-majors.cfm

Redesign Principle #2
Clear Major Requirements:
• Students can follow default program maps
• Or choose to take other electives
MESA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Mesa Community College (MCC) is creating program
maps for each program of study.
MCC has created “mapping sequence teams,” cross-
functional teams of instructional faculty and
counseling faculty to clarify course sequence for
each program.
Mapping coaches help the cross functional teams
with the process and ensure student, faculty and
counseling perspectives are all taken into account.
Redesign Principle #3
Integrated and Proactive Supports:
• Counseling faculty specialized in
each meta-major
• Professional Development for
faculty
• Student services and instruction to
be integrated
When supports are not
proactive and integrated
with instruction, low-
income and first-
generation students do not
access them. (Karp, O’Gara, & Hughes, 2008; Cox, 2009)
Guided Pathway Design Principles
1. Help students choose a program of
study
2. Help students get through by
clarifying course requirements for
each program
3. Help students reach completion or
successfully transfer by providing
proactive and integrated academic
and non-academic supports

CLP Guided Pathways Support
• Top leadership planning, strategy
• Learning processes: site visits, student
focus groups, data analysis, data
visualization,
• Facilitation: Cross-disciplinary teams
clustering, mapping
• Mt. Sac, CCSF, College of the Canyons.
Skyline
• Local/statewide CoPs
This session will include the following components:
•Synthesis of the research on barriers to student completion and
presentation of successful models of college redesign, including
development of “structured” or “guided” pathways.
•Direct input from college leaders nationally and statewide
involved in college redesign work about their successes,
challenges, and lessons learned.
•Sharing tools that can provide a good picture of the current
barriers to student completion and inform the redesign effort
through student voices and institutional data.
