Why Statway?

Statw

ay i n t
he
news

We 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 collegelevel math in just one year.

Sample Discussion Forum Post

As 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.

Questions to Consider
Think about how the narratives were
framed in the spotlights you heard today:
How does this help you think about how
you will frame your narrative?
You will build one later today, so get ready!

Golden Circle for PL for SSI

Use your one-page reflection from your
pre-institute homework to aid this activity

Communities and Networks

Network
Relationships, interactions, connections
Info flows, knowledge, creation, joint
problem-solving
Community
Shared identity around a topic
Collective intention to steward knowledge
and sustain learning

Communities of Practice

Make room for recursivity

Create safety, connectedness for risktaking
Make room for growth
Shame resilience
Help us work productively with expertise

Communities and Networks

Where in the spotlight narratives do you see
evidence of network and community
structures for learning?
Where in your professional learning pathway
do you see evidence of network and
community structures for learning?

Communities and Networks

Did 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?

Who Mapping
Consider 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.

3CSN Theory of Change

If we provide training on networking and
we use action research methodologies,
community college professionals will
transform their environments and identities
to create communities of practice that will
produce powerful learning and working
across campuses. This will lead to greater
student success.
