1100 Contextualized: Designing a FYW Course for Guided Pathways  \nNancy Pine  \nThe course I describe here is a contextualized version of ENGL 1100  \nComposition I, a first year writing (FYW) course, designed specifically for students who declare majors in business and hospitality services programs to study composition in the context of their majors and future professions. This version of ENGL 1100 counts for FYW credit and adheres to the same learning outcomes as any other section at my institution, but it includes subject matter and the study of rhetorical situations and texts of interest and relevance to students with majors in the pathway. Developing pedagogies of contextualization for FYW through courses like this may help motivate community college students in particular to succeed in the course and facilitate transfer of their learning. The overall goal of this course is for students to recognize and value literacy learning during and beyond college, preparing them for a lifetime of reading and writing in their professional and personal lives.  \nInstitutional Context  \nColumbus State Community College is an open-enrollment, two-year college in Central Ohio with two campuses, five regional learning centers in four counties, and dual enrollment partnerships with nearly two hundred high schools and career centers. The college web site reports enrollment of more than 45,000 full-and part-time students (“Fast Facts”) . Columbus State considers itself the “front door” to higher education in the region (“Mission”), offering associate degrees for both degree-to-degree transfer and career programs, as well as certificate programs, and reporting “200 transfer opportunities and guaranteed admission to many institutions,” including transfer agreements with more than thirty-five colleges (“Fast Facts”) . Recently, Columbus State began engaging in the Guided Pathways reform movement when it was chosen as one of thirty colleges by the American Association of Community Colleges “to develop next-generation academic and career pathways designed to ensure gains in completion of both two-and four-year degrees as well as great marketability for graduates”(“Academic Chairpersons”) .  \nBusiness and hospitality services is one of the college’s eight career and academic pathways, or metamajors, from which all incoming students choose. Students who declare this pathway may select one of the following majors: accounting; baking and pastry arts; business; business office administration; culinary; entrepreneurship; finance; hotel, tourism and event management; human resources; marketing; nutrition and dietetics; real estate; or restaurant  \nComposition Studies 49.3 (2021): 118–132  \nand food service management (“Business and Hospitality Services”) . Within each major are multiple programs that offer various degrees, including specialized associate’s degrees as well as certificates. All of the associate’s degrees, as well as some of the certificates, require ENGL 1100 in their programs of study.  \nA specific cohort program in the pathway called Exact Track is a partnership with nearby Franklin University. Designed for working adults, accepted students are placed in cohorts and complete a fixed sequence of courses from both institutions one or two evenings a week in person and online, to earn an Associate of Applied Science in Business Management from Columbus State and a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Business Administration and Management and Leadership from Franklin University (“Exact Track”) . This program began at Columbus State’s second, Delaware Campus, location, where I am stationed, but it is expanding and has been adapted for particular business partners. This contextualized version of ENGL 1100 was selected for a new Exact Track business partner cohort for inclusion in its lock-step schedule. Courses are offered on site at the business at no cost to the students, reimbursed by their employer.  \nENGL 1100 is considered a gat","cbCaiqtKtnORgdjD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqtKtnORgdjD","pdf",132258,15,"English","# Institutional Context\n# Creation of the Course\n## Course Development Timeline","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the contextualized ENGL 1100 course?\",\"answer\":\"To teach first-year writing in the context of business and hospitality majors, integrating relevant subject matter and rhetorical situations while helping students value literacy learning beyond college.\"},{\"question\":\"Which students is this course specifically designed for?\",\"answer\":\"Students who declare majors in the business and hospitality services pathway, with majors such as accounting, business, culinary, finance, marketing, and others listed for the pathway.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the course developed and supported?\",\"answer\":\"The instructor was invited to develop it starting in Summer 2018 through a Department of Education Title III grant for Guided Pathways completion planning, and course development included reassigned time equivalent to a course release each term.\"}]","ENGL 1100 Contextualized - Designing a FYW Course for Guided Pathways | PDF",1792088557,38]
