REVISIONS AFTER
INITIAL PROPOSAL ON
THE FOLLOWING PAGES
Invigorate BSP
Need for the Project
While both postsecondary and secondary institutions in northwest Montana have shown great interest
in implementing successful Big Sky Pathways (BSP) programs, the reality is that the rubber has yet to
really meet the road. Despite apparent success in some (e.g. welding, business), many pathways remain
disconnected from programs in secondary institutions with little coordination between complimentary
programs.
Similarly, FVCC has developed a number of career ladder and stacked credential opportunities in recent
years that have not utilized the Big Sky Pathways framework or included formal linkages with local high
schools. For example, FVCC recently received a large federal grant to develop short-certificate programs
in advanced manufacturing, lower level certificates that would be idea dual-credit opportunities for local
high school students; however, development of a BSP didn’t enter the conversation. The BSP program is
simply not at the forefront of conversations as it needs to be.
We believe there are several major barriers in the way of successful implementation of the Big Sky
Pathways initiative. (1) While measures have been taken to improve communication between
educational institutions, coordination between teachers, faculty, administration and student support
staff in our K-12 and postsecondary institutions, this coordination has not been institutionalized. (2)
Pathways have not been designed or implemented in several key and emerging industries, with two
impacts: (a) dual credit opportunities are missed in some of our most critical areas, and (b) we miss the
best opportunities to market to students in areas in which they are seeing job growth. (3) Marketing and
development of the BSPs remains too broad and generic, not effectively communicating a specific path
for students. (4) There is no effective institutionalized system to track students who are utilizing Big Sky
Pathways, making it difficult for institutions to understand the impacts of these programs. With limited
resources, we have simply been unable to maximize our potential outreach to students.
How Project Meets Needs
The Invigorate BSP project addresses the existing needs by bringing this important initiative back to the
forefront. Specifically, the program achieves that through four primary activities that collectively create
opportunity for much more robust BSP implementation. The strategies include (1) enhanced
identification of students entering into BSP tracks; (2) increasing awareness and knowledge of BSPs at all
institutions including information about technical implementation of BSP programs; (3) enhanced
outreach and marketing efforts of BSP opportunities, and (4) enhanced tracking of BSP students,
enabled by enhanced identification and attention to BSP “enrolled” students by FVCC’s K-12 Outreach
Coordinator.
The program will pilot “enrollment” in BSPs. FVCC K-12 Outreach Coordinator will collect information
about students who demonstrate interest in a specific BSP. The Outreach Coordinator will keep in
monthly contact with these participants, determining their progress in progressing through BSPs, and
ultimately gauge the success of each student in completing BSP programs and getting hired into related
employment opportunities. FVCC’s Outreach Coordinator will operate as the point of contact for
individuals helping implement BSP programs at each institution.
In the case of both new and existing BSPs, materials will be developed that clearly communicate a
specific set of courses that a student can take to bridge the gap between secondary and postsecondary
studies and ultimately achieve their occupational objectives. This will include a specific BSP Map for
each individual BSP. Also, increased utilization and enhancement of BSP upload into MCIS will allow the
FVCC K-12 Coordinator to better help guide students through BSP tracks. FVCC intends to add new BSPs
in Manufacturing (Advanced Manufacturing/Engineering) and Health Science (Patient Relations
Specialist).
Another major component of this project that will increase the breadth and reach of the BSP program is
coordination amongst faculty, staff, counselors and advisors in regional postsecondary and secondary
institutions, namely high schools in Columbia Falls, Whitefish, Bigfork, Kalispell, Thompson Falls, Libby,
Eureka and Polson. This coordination will focus around two primary professional development
seminars. The first seminar will focus on providing knowledge on existing BSP programs, conducting a
gap analysis to identify areas of strength and weaknesses in the present BSP ecosystem and ensuring
that all stakeholders are aware of the mechanics (MCIS, etc.) of the BSP program. The second seminar
will focus on development of new tracks, based upon the gaps analysis, and providing information and
rolling out the new approach to identifying and tracking BSP students. Ongoing, monthly “Advisor
Huddles” involving secondary and postsecondary counselors and advisors will ensure that these
stakeholders remain up-to-date on new developments, challenges and successes within the BSP
program. This coordination should greatly increase the number of schools that have been incorporated
into the BSP conversation by targeting schools like Thompson Falls that have expressed interest in
participating, but where previous resource availability has limited that participation.
Last, the Invigorate BSP project will create an enhanced tracking system for BSP students. Enabled by
improved identification of students, and by appointing a single point of contact to champion the
“enrolled” student database, this project will greatly improve the ability to track students. This tracking
includes a three-pronged approach. First, is increased emphasis on uploading existing BSP tracks into
the MCIS and utilization of that resource by project stakeholders. Secondly, teachers, advisors, and
counselors who work with students who express an interest in pursuing a BSP track will (a) tag the
student in the home institution’s database as a BSP student, allowing subsequent identification of
students who graduate from secondary school having completed a BSP program and determination of
whether these students are continuing onto postsecondary studies, and (b) have their contact
information passed along to FVCC’s K-12 Outreach Coordinator, who will check in monthly with students
to gauge their progress through the BSP. This multi-faceted approach will help ensure that students are
being properly and consistently tracked through the BSP system. It should allow some comparison
between successful approaches to BSP amongst different secondary schools.

Hi Wes,
I’ve attached a revised version of our BSP Budget and Narrative. I believe we were able to address all your
concerns, except for “Identify measurement tools in a more quantitative method.” Would you be able to
explain more specifically what you’re looking for on that one?
Thank you, emily

Kristen,
The call for professional development in the grant is for FVCC to host and perform professional
development, not to attend a conference. I’m glad you ask, as that clears up why the NACEP
conference was included in the proposal. Other proposals are planning localized professional
development around Big Sky Pathways as mentioned in the “Guidance for all Institutions.” The
committee does not want to use funds to pay for a select group of individuals to attend a conference,
we would like to see that all happen in Montana, in your area, and with the school districts that have
pathways with FVCC.
Otherwise, when can you get this back to me with Brenda and the grant writer out?
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have additional questions.

Hi Wes,
Yes, we can track with system we use, CAMS. Also, can you clarify what you mean by “Where are
conference costs included?” in your first bullet below. I’m confused because you indicate that
NACEP Conference costs will not be covered. Finally, if we do decide to send you an amendment, is
there flexibility around when you want the revisions – both Brenda and our grant writer are out this
week – so it would be difficult to meet the Nov. 9 deadline.
Thanks.

Thank you for the response. This revised narrative and budget have cleared up a number of previous questions, but we do still
have a couple. Can you please include the current pathways in which FVCC works with based on high school and pathway?
Can you please verify that as a recipient of these funds, FVCC will ensure the completion of all Big Sky Pathways components
(Gap Analyses, Agreement Forms, and Pathways) for the 2012-2013 academic year? There were a number of clarifying points
at the bottom of the previous communication, can you please verify that FVCC agrees to those terms as well? This includes
items such as dual credit, marketing, etc.
Within quantitative measurement, can you include measureable outcomes that FVCC will work to achieve within this grant? I
have included the original RFP. You can find the measurement piece on page 5 and 6.
Thank you,
