This tool is designed to help your college assess how far along you are in implementing essential guided pathways practices at scale. In column 2, briefly describe what your college currently does relevant to each of the essential guided pathways practices listed in column 1 and indicate the extent to which the college has implemented each essential practice at scale. In column 3, indicate what improvements are needed to current practices. Don’t be concerned if your college has made little progress in implementing any given practice. Conversely, if your team has indicated complete implementation in all practices, you may want to revisit your team’s responses to ensure an honest and courageous appraisal. In column 4, list the major steps your college needs to take to implement the given practice at scale. This form will help your college as you develop a plan for implementing guided pathways at scale at your college. Project partners will also use this information to monitor your college’s progress in implementing guided pathways over time.
