Working session: Review Flexible Learning Options for Workers (FLOW) PPT and give input on statewide Chancellor’s FLOW input website

• See Guided Pathways notes

---

Guided Pathways

• Karen shared Guided Pathways update prior to the working session of FLOW. Senate Officers Karen adn Jim are leading the college effort (with participation/contributions from major shared governance groups, including Academic and Classified Senates) to put together our Self Assessment to submit to Chancellor's Office by December 23 deadline. This is the first step required to access funding set aside for colleges to begin the Inquiry and Design process of creating Guided Pathways. PDF of Self Assessment Tool/Form to complete and submit to state.
• Encouraged senators and their constituents to contact the FLOW workgroup by Wednesday, November 22 at noon to express sentiments about the option
• Motion for Karen to message all faculty and urge them to state that Academic Senate strongly supports Option 2 (Consortium led FLOW) with system wide faculty consultation and to extent that it can be folded into OEI with no additional funds allocated to FLOW. VOTE: unanimous support
• Backed by Western Governor's University, and this represents a possible attempt by Chancellor's office towards a more privatized model for CC's
