LKDSB Pathways Program - A Successful Pathway for all Students
- Pathways to Success is an initiative supported by the Ministry of Education. Details can be found at http://edu.gov.on.ca/eng/index.html
- “The term ‘program pathway’ refers not just to the combination of courses and supports that make up a student’s educational program but also to the underlying purpose that motivates students in their choice of courses. A program pathway is designed to lead a student to a particular destination. This does not mean, however, that the student will always end up at that destination. Motivations can change, and students should be free to make new choices as they develop new interests and abilities. Program pathways must have built-in flexibility so that these choices can be made without disrupting students’ progress.”
- “Key to developing and implementing program pathways for all students is the need to bring about a re-culturing so that all postsecondary destinations are equally valued.”
