Guided Pathways Leadership Task Force

The charge of the Guided Pathways Task Force is to provide leadership and coordination of the research, learning, development, planning and implementation of the college-wide guided pathways initiative. The task force will establish timelines of tasks, set standards of measurement for improvement, oversee the progress of the guided pathways work groups and communicate progress to the college community.

What is guided pathways?

Guided pathways is a movement that will change how Clackamas students experience their educational journey and successfully meet their goals.

Simply put, it’s an easy-to-use strategy that gets students on a path, helps them stay on a path and complete a path. This is a college-wide approach to help students reach their goals while saving time and money.

Why is this work important?

• To address achievement gaps for underrepresented students (equity)

• To address low retention and completion rates for all CCC students

• To ensure learning across both the academic and student experience life cycle
