Summary
In many colleges and universities, students are left to navigate a complex and often confusing array of programs, courses and support services mostly on their own. Many students do not see a clear path to their end goals, become frustrated, and drop out. A growing number of colleges and universities are redesigning academic programs and support services to create more clearly structured and educationally coherent program pathways and intervention points. In this session we will examine the evidence behind these burgeoning "guided pathways" reforms, with a special focus on the use of technology to help students get and stay on track (an approach sometimes referred to as "e-advising" or "iPASS"). We will discuss research findings that can help colleges successfully implement these reforms.
Objectives:
- Participants will understand how guided pathways and technology-mediated advising work together to support student success
- Participants will understand evidence supporting the guided pathways approach
- Participants will engage with research on how colleges have successfully implemented guided pathways and technology-mediated advising
- Participants will learn how they can successfully implement these reforms on their own campuses
