The goal of “Using Paths” is to help you use Paths to College and Career to support your students by showing you how it works as a model of powerful instructional practice. To do that, you will look behind the scenes of the curriculum’s design, see the instructional decisions that guided its development, and look at what those decisions look like in implementation.


About This Course

After completing “Using Paths,” you will be able to identify powerful standards alignment in Paths and explain how to use that information in your instruction; describe how the instructional shifts are addressed by the Paths curriculum; identify the components of Paths that can help you keep students thinking throughout a lesson; and explain how the amount of text students are analyzing and the questions students are answering in Paths supports their ability to do grade-level thinking with grade-level texts.
