Guided Pathways Years 3 5 and Beyond Luke
Guided Pathways: Years 3 -5 and Beyond! Luke Lara, Mira Costa College Ginni May, ASCCC Treasurer Michael Quiaoit, CCCCO Dean Educational Services Fall 2019 Plenary Session | November 7 | 2: 30 -3: 45
Description The California Community College system is well into its third year of the five-year Guided Pathways Award Program. Even as the funding from the state of California for Guided Pathways implementation runs out, colleges will need to sustain their efforts, as some predictions indicate full implementation could take up to the ten years. What are the plans state-wide (ASCCC and CCCCO) for guided pathways in years three to five? What are college plans for years three to five? What are the plans for sustaining guided pathways efforts beyond year five? Join us for a lively discussion as we address these questions and more.
