SSSC Breakout Session 4: Counseling and Guided Pathways: Remembering that Guided Pathways is about Guiding Students

Strand: Building Culturally Robust and Positive Practices that Increase Student Agency: Professional Learning and Leadership Development

Counselors affirm that the core mandate of their work is helping students choose, enter, and stay on their educational path and ensure their learning aligns with guided pathways principles. Counseling with a student-centered focus aims to create a unique, personalized, proactive, and equitable approach. Yet, making systemic improvements to ensure equitable access to services has been challenging. In this session, participants will learn about current research from community college counselors and others implementing innovative counseling practices within a guided pathways framework. This interactive session will allow time for participant engagement and sharing promising practices in making systemic changes to achieve equitable service delivery.
