Rethinking Community Colleges to Serve 21st-Century Students and Communities: Lessons from Research on Guided Pathways
Jenkins, Davis; Lahr, Hana; Fink, John
New Directions for Community Colleges, n197 p107-120 Spr 2022
In this article, researchers from the Community College Research Center reflect on what they have learned from their study of Guided Pathways reforms at over 100 colleges nationally since the publication in 2015 of "Redesigning America's Community Colleges." They examine five areas of practice: (1) program design; (2) new student onboarding; (3) remediation and academic support; (4) ongoing student advising; and (5) teaching and learning. For each area, they describe how their thinking about Guided Pathways has evolved from the model presented in "Redesigning" and discuss the implications for practice. In the conclusion, they provide guidance to college and state system leaders about how to advocate for adequate state fiscal support for evidence-based reforms needed for achieving more equitable student outcomes and ensuring college survival in a very challenging environment for community colleges and their students.
