One challenge to improving community college student success is how to scale and sustain systemic reforms across multiple institutions. In this blog post, the authors of CCRC's forthcoming book share lessons from their evaluation of statewide guided pathways reforms and offer strategies for putting next-frontier innovations into practice.
Because whole-college reform is hard to evaluate, no prior major study has examined how successfully colleges have adopted guided pathways or what its effects have been on students. Now, two recent studies from CCRC are providing an unprecedented look at guided pathways reforms at approximately 100 colleges.
To help more students gain early momentum, community colleges need to update onboarding to focus on helping students enter a program of study aligned with their interests, strengths, and aspirations.
In this podcast, CCRC's Davis Jenkins and Hana Lahr discuss what they found when they visited eight colleges at the forefront of implementing guided pathways.
