An overview of the Pathways education program - Part 1

Here in District 15 the web-based education program called the Pathways Learning Experience first was available on March 20, 2018. Pathways is accessed via an online gateway called Base Camp. This series of blog posts will show you an overall, bird’s-eye-view of it.

The previous ‘traditional’ program had two parallel tracks for leadership and communication, as is shown above. Contrast that with Pathways where they are integrated.

As shown above, there are four explicit core competencies covered to varying extents in those different paths. I have added two-letter abbreviations for those ten paths, which are: Dynamic Leadership (DL), Effective Coaching (EC), Innovative Planning (IP), Leadership Development (LD), Motivational Strategies (MS), Persuasive Influence (PI), Presentation Mastery (PM), Strategic Relationships (SR), Team Collaboration (TC), and Visionary Communication (VC). You can take an online Assessment to help you choose a Path.

There are five different levels: [1] Mastering Fundamentals, [2] Learning Your Style. [3] Increasing Knowledge, [4] Building Skills, and [5] Demonstrating Expertise. There also is an optional Mentor Program, after [2] Learning your Style.
