Chabot’s Guided Pathways Process

The CCCCO Funding supports a 5-Year Phased Process that is ongoing, iterative, flexible. It involves an ongoing cycle of Inquiry, Design, and Implementation.

Why 5 Years & What to Expect

From the California Community College Chancellor’s Office FAQ:

“National research on colleges who have implemented Guided Pathways shows that it generally takes four to five years for an institution to implement the model because it requires a comprehensive and transformative institutional commitment. Typically, the first year involves high-level planning and communicating vision and goals for change. The second year involves setting the foundation for implementation and change. The third year involves large-scale implementation including policy and procedural reform. In the fourth year, implementation is refined and expanded upon, and in the fifth year, processes for evaluation and improvement are determined to inform future efforts and refinement.”
