Center Releases Playbook and Web Toolkit on Guided Pathways: Ensure Students Are Learning

The importance of bringing all faculty along on the guided pathways journey is illustrated in the Teaching and Learning Within a Guided Pathways Framework playbook, containing survey results collected from over 7,000 community college faculty members across the country.

The accompanying web toolkit includes a searchable database of video clips and narrative descriptions of teaching practices related to the implementation of guided pathways. The toolkit also contains a faculty focus group discussion guide, equity tools, professional development tools, and tools that colleges can use with their Center survey data to assess how their students are experiencing various components of guided pathways.

Center Executive Director Linda García and Office of Community College Research and Leadership (OCCRL) Director Eboni Zamani-Gallaher hosted a webinar on November 11 that highlighted the Equity Tools from the web toolkit.
