37. By The Numbers

38. “I’ve had a rough semester having to watch after my sisters and nephews now that my mother no longer lives in California. I’ve been left with many responsibilities and didn’t know how to manage everything with work, school and them.”

39. “I withdrew from this class in the middle of the semester because I had a tragic family situation which resulted in me and my whole family being homeless. At this time I was unable to continue my classwork so that I could work more hours at work.”

40. “I was pregnant. I gave birth but the professor wasn’t willing to let me retake the missed quizzes I had missed. Seeing no point of continuing class if the missed quizzes were currently affecting my grade. I had filed for Emergency withdraw.”

41. “I really needed the class, it was a 7am and I got a job working nights. I decided to drop it on the 9th due to lack of sleep but found that the last day to drop w/o a "W" had passed 2 days prior on the 7th. I tried to stick it out for a few weeks”

43. Guided Pathways, Meta-Majors, and the Vision for El Camino College
As we just saw, the withdrawal survey offered some insight into why students drop and don’t succeed; Guided Pathways offers solutions for the obstacles students face to increase student success and equity. Here is El Camino’s Vision for Guided Pathways implementation.

50. Update on Guided Pathways at El Camino
We have been working on Guided Pathways for the last two years. As a reminder, the Guided Pathways approach includes four pillars: clarify the path, enter the path, stay on the path, and ensure learning. This past year, you may have participated in a card-sorting activity to determine our meta-majors, or you may have worked on a program map for a degree or certificate in your program. Before we get to our update, we just wanted to go over a few more general things about Guided Pathways to refresh your memory.

51. What Guided Pathways IS
Reduce confusion
Build learning
Guided exploration
Guided Pathways is a research-based approach to redesigning community colleges that:
--reduces confusion for students;
--and increases proactive support for students to complete their educational goals;
Using the ideas of guided pathways, we:
--design pathways that encourage guided exploration;
--design learning experiences in which students build on their knowledge from course to course;
Also remember that:
--Guided Pathways is a nationwide movement based on decades of research on community colleges.
Increase support
Nationwide

52. What Guided Pathways is NOT…
NOT only local
Does NOT reduce programs
Which leads to some things that Guided Pathways is not:
--NOT local only to California (it’s a nationwide effort);
--it is NOT a way to reduce programs;
--and it is NOT an initiative with a limited shelf-life
NOT the latest initiative

53. Meta-Majors Meta-Majors—clarifying the path for students
Definition: Groups of related majors with similar requirements, outcomes, or methodologies
Data collected in Spring 2019
January 2019 summit
Card Sorting Events
Classrooms
Faculty meetings
130 groups; 75% of participants were students
One big development that took place over this past year is the development of meta-majors. As a reminder, meta-majors are groups of related majors with similar requirements, outcomes, or methodologies. Meta-majors are a way to reduce confusion and “clarify the path” for students by placing majors into a small number of more general categories. We determined our meta-majors through card-sorting activities conducted last semester. We had a summit in January, card sorting events scheduled throughout the semester, and we also visited classrooms and faculty meetings. In all, 130 different groups consisting of a mixture of faculty, staff, administrators, and students participated; 75% of the participants were students.

54. You may have received a flyer in the mail a few weeks ago that looked like this. These are our meta-majors. You don’t have to try to read it on this screen—we will go through each one-by-one in a minute. The color associated with each one is only for today—one of the tasks of the meta-major breakout sessions in the afternoon is to come up with names for the meta-majors. So, don’t be too concerned about the color.

55. Clarifying the Path: “Program Pathways Mapper”
Provides template and infrastructure for publishing meta- majors and program maps online
However, before going through our meta-majors, here are some ways that they will be used. One way that we will be applying meta-majors in the coming year is to publish them online for our students. They will be able to choose a meta-major, and then see all the majors associated with it, in addition to career information and program maps.

56. Meta-Majors
When users enter program pathways mapper, they first see all the meta-majors that are available. This is an example from Bakersfield College. They can then click on a meta-major to see the degrees and certificates available—for example, “health sciences”.

57. Career and Salary Information
Once users choose a major, one of the first things they see is the career and salary information. This is for Kinesiology majors. They can see salary information, information about how the career is growing, and some possible careers.

58. Program Map
Here’s an example of a program map for a kinesiology transfer degree from Bakersfield College, where program pathways mapper was developed. Notice that students are able to choose how long they want to take to complete a degree, using a drop-down menu. This increases equity by showing students a path that reflects possible paths they might actually take. The program map gives them a semester-by-semester plan, and each course is color coded—purple for core courses, green for gen ed, and yellow for electives. We will be working on putting your program maps online—grouped by meta-major—during the fall semester, so keep those program maps coming!

59. Success Teams for Each Meta-Major: Proactive Support for Students
Counselors
Instructional faculty
Peer advisors
Data coach
Financial aid representative
Administrator
Activities:
Career events
Design learning experiences
Identify success barriers and plan interventions
Use ECC Connect to connect students, staff, instructional faculty and counselors
Another way that we’re going to use meta-majors here at El Camino College is to form success teams for each meta-major in order to provide targeted, proactive support so that students are able to make the best decision about which path to enter as well as stay on the path. This strategy is also equity-minded by providing support for students wherever they’re at.
The success teams will consist of
--counselors who will be assigned to particular meta-majors;
--instructional faculty who will represent the majors within that meta-major;
--peer advisors who can really help inform the group about the student experience;
--a data coach, who will help identify data about where resources should be targeted as well as how best to help students;
--a financial aid representative;
--and an administrator
Some activities that these success teams will do are:
--plan career events;
--design learning experiences such as linked courses, or thematic courses for general ed requirements;
--identify success barriers and plan interventions to help students overcome these;
--and promote the use of ECC Connect to bring everyone together

60. Will things remain the same or be different with meta-majors?
Faculty will still teach the same courses.
Students can still choose a specific major.
Student services will still provide support to students.
DIFFERENT
There will be more opportunities to collaborate.
All students will be associated with a meta-major.
The support provided will be more targeted, proactive, and data-driven with the “success teams.”
Academic divisions will co-exist with success teams.
One of your big questions might be—how will Guided Pathways, and meta-majors in particular, change things here at El Camino College? Here are some answers:
--Some things that will remain the same are that faculty will still teach the same courses; students can still choose a specific major; student services programs will still exist to provide support to students. However, the differences are that:
--faculty will have more opportunities to collaborate in terms of linked courses, or themed courses for general ed.
--while students can still choose a specific major, they will all be associated with a meta-major;
--the support we provide to students in our meta-majors will be more targeted, proactive and data-driven because of the implementation of success teams;
--finally, academic divisions will co-exist with success teams; however, our academic division structure will be under review this year.

61. Timeline Academic Year 2019-2020 Academic Year 2020-2021 Beyond…
Program Pathways Mapper implementation
Success Teams (including data coaches) piloted
“Student Engagement Toolbox” incentive program
Academic Year
Program Pathways Mapper fully implemented
Success Teams fully implemented
Student engagement tools used by all counseling faculty, instructional faculty and students
Beyond…
More degrees and certificates completed
Fewer unnecessary units accumulated
More integrated learning experiences
More proactive and targeted support
Here is our timeline for implementation of Guided Pathways:
--this year, , we are going to bring “Program Pathways Mapper” online and pilot our success teams to see what strategies we can apply here at El Camino. We are going to dig in to the data, and flesh out the idea of using data coaches and how they can be used in these success teams. In addition, because ECC Connect and Canvas are so important in holding everything together, we have an incentive program this year to get more people to use these tools. There’s a flyer in your folder to find out how to participate!
Next academic year, you will see “Program Pathways Mapper” and “Success Teams” fully implemented. And you will all be using ECC Connect and Canvas to bring everyone together.
The impact of these changes will be more students completing degrees and certificates with fewer unnecessary units. The learning that students experience in courses will be more integrated, and the support they receive will be more proactive and specific to their needs.
Now, without further ado, we present our meta-majors!
