21Why Statway?

Due to diverse student majors and goals, it is essential that we offer alternative pathways. Statistics pathways are being encouraged state wide including our chancellors office.22We know that thevast majorityof students who enter community college leave without a degree.

Jenkins and Bailey say there is another way: simpler, shorter pathways to graduation, with extra support.

Get rid of remedial courses. Instead, move students right into credit-bearing classes and provide extra help for those who need it.

Collaborate with four-year institutions to create program pathways, making it clear exactly what courses will transfer.

TheStatways and Quantways initiative,a new sequence of courses that skips remedial algebra and teaches developmental and college-level math concurrently using questions relevant to students' lives, sees nearly half of its students complete college-level math in just one year.

Statway in the newsThere is significant research to show that having the remedial algebra embedded in the path creates more student success than a separate remedial algebra course. This is what statway does. In addition, Statway has a unique approach to learning. It empowers the students by using a hands on discovery approach. The majority of the lessons should be taught in groups and the students engage in productive struggle as they work through guided problems leading them to the desired goal. As teacher, of course, you need to direct, coach and sometimes intervene, but the concept is to let them get down and dirty with the material first. 23Presented by:

MarkBuilding Networks that WorkIdentifying a Shared Problem

Creating a Shared Vision of the Possible for Addressing It

Building a Sustained Community of Practitioners Focusing on This ProblemCalifornia Community Colleges Success Network

Deborah will also mention importance of FTLA and BSILI w/these types of FYE programs?27STEP 2: STAY IN TOUCH

Periodic phone calls

Exchange materials

Meet at leadership retreat

Shared vision of the possible:

If it makes us feel engaged and energized, it will do the same for tutors

If tutors see themselves as educators and professionals, they will improve themselves AND deliver better services to students

These are our future colleagues and bosses!

Sample Discussion Forum PostAs a tutor, I can teach students that each challenging task is a new learning experience that will help them build their growth mindset. Sometimes, students can be discouraged if they do not know the answer to a question on their first try, but with RA and growth mindset, we can teach students that there are different strategies and paths that will lead them to the correct answer.STEP 4: GROW YOUR COMMUNITY

How does this help you think about how you will frame your narrative?

You will build one later today, so get ready!Crystal50Golden Circle for PL for SSIUse your one-page reflection from your pre-institute homework to aid this activityAnn, the Golden Circle Queen51Communities and NetworksNetworkRelationships, interactions, connectionsInfo flows, knowledge, creation, joint problem-solvingCommunityShared identity around a topicCollective intention to steward knowledge and sustain learning Deborah52

Where in your professional learning pathway do you see evidence of network and community structures for learning?Crystal54Did you build in communities and networking into your experiential blueprint? If you didnt, how can you include them? If you did:articulate how your community networks support that moment on the pathway? Can you deepen or enhance them?Communities and NetworksCrystal55Who MappingConsider the ways in which your participation in networks and communities can support you as you work on your SSI and the PL needed to support it.CampusLocal RegionBSILI CoP3CSN CoPs Jeanne563CSN Theory of Change
