Engaging faculty in Guided Pathways: A Practical Resource for College Leaders is the first book in a two-book series. It describes the important role of college faculty in student success reform efforts. In particular, it maps out the faculty role in Guided Pathways, a national movement focused on increasing the number of students who earn a degree or credential. It summarizes the primary tasks associated with the four essential practices of Guided Pathways: determining paths, helping students choose a path, helping students stay on a path, and ensuring learning. This book highlights the need for faculty engagement in all aspects of this work and provides practical suggestions and strategies to engage and empower both full and part-time faculty in this work. Moving the needle on student success outcomes requires high-levels of faculty engagement. Colleges are encouraged to invite full and part-time faculty to the table for important conversations about student success reform and to encourage and support faculty leadership in these institutional efforts. Readers will benefit from numerous practical suggestions, including faculty reflect

Christine Harrington is an Associate Professor and Co-Coordinator of the Ed.D. in Community College Leadership program at New Jersey City University. Prior to taking on this role, she worked in the community college setting for over 18 years as a faculty member teaching psychology and first-year seminar, director of a Teaching and Learning Center, and as the executive director of the Center for Student Success at the New Jersey Council of County Colleges.

Community colleges across the country are taking on the challenging work of redesigning students’ educational experiences through institution-wide guided pathways reforms. That is to say, they seek to create clear, coherent educational pathways for all of their students, in the process questioning many traditional practices and cultural norms in higher education. Clearly, that work cannot succeed without effective strategies for broadly, continuously and authentically engaging faculty—including both full- and part-time faculty—in the work. Well-intentioned colleges continue to discover to their chagrin that they too often underestimate the need for that intentional engagement. Now Christine Harrington brings to the field a welcome and comprehensive resource to support substantive and meaningful faculty engagement with guided pathways reforms, with her book, Engaging Faculty in Guided Pathways: A Practical Resource for College Leaders. Addressing a whole range of faculty work that must be taken on—from defining meta-majors and creating program maps, to defining and assessing student learning outcomes, to building an effective syllabus and employing effective teaching strategies, to building leadership from within the faculty—Harrington brings attention to an important reality: new pathways will guide neither students nor colleges to desired outcomes if they do not focus renewed energy on excellence in teaching and learning.
