Our program is founded on the model of the educational team, which is a partnership between the student, parent or guardian (as the day-to-day teacher), and the Pathways independent study teacher. Together this team will select materials and methods that best fit the student’s needs and support the completion of the state standards. After discussing the child's previous learning environment, current performance levels in the core subjects, desired learning formats and learning styles, the teacher will help design a learning plan which will include a combination of the following:
Roles of the Educational Team Members
We serve a diverse range of families, each of whom has a different set of needs in terms of the support provided by the school and teacher. In combination with designing the learning plan, the teacher will also discuss the roles of each member of the educational team. Below are the typical roles within an educational team but, for families who want more support, the teacher can provide more direct guidance and oversight through weekly meetings.
