Coastline Pathways is an equity-based mindset and practice to facilitate student success.
Coastline Pathways is an integrated, institution-wide approach to student success.
The Coastline Pathways model is intentionally designed to provide clear, coherent, and structured educational experiences for students. The components of Coastline Pathways are designed with the intention to lead each student effectively and efficiently from entry into the College to the attainment of high-quality postsecondary credentials leading to careers with value in the labor market.
Clarifying the path focuses on simplifying students’ choices with effective program maps developed by faculty to provide students a clear pathway to complete their educational goals.
Entering the path helps students explore academic and career options from the beginning of their college experience and aligns foundational skills coursework with a student's program of study.
Staying on the path utilizes academic and student support services throughout students' programs to promote student learning and persistence.
Ensuring students are learning focuses on the continuous assessment and enhancement of programs, instructional practices, and student support services which promotes innovation, excellence, and effectiveness throughout the college.
In 2020, Coastline College documented the progress of the student experience through guided pathways:
Coastline Pathways Report 2020
On Tuesday, July 14th, the Coastline Pathways design teams - which consisted of faculty, classified professionals and managers - met with Dr. Rob Johnstone and Dr. Alison Kadlec to explore, more deeply, how to advance equity through Guided Pathways. Rob shared eleven Guides that have been developed by equity leaders across the county:
The Coastline Pathways design teams selected three areas of focus:
These Guides will form the basis of three college-wide events in Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 to advance equity through Guided Pathways efforts. Using the Guides to inform our practice would greatly strengthen our work in advancing equity.
