Pathways is a curriculum solution aimed at ninth- and tenth-grade students in which contrived and real-world experiences and applications use technology in a completely different instructional method. Thematic strands, career pathways, multimedia instruction and real-world applications engage a team of six students for nine weeks of instruction.
