Why Pathfinder
20 Home & School Applications
Pathfinder and the WAY Game
Pathfinder is like a Class Icebreaker that runs all year. Two teams compete to win Pathfinder Clues to the secret identity of the Mystery Kid. When solved, prizes are awarded and the game restarts. Pathfinder responses help answer the question, Who Are You? Where trust and respect are developed through teamwork, mentorship and play. Pathfinder is a comprehensive Student Learning Profile completed annually and shared with parents. Pathfinder is integrated into the WAY Game.
Making Good Decisions
Pathfinder means many things to different people. For teachers, the year starts with a student interest and needs analysis. Pathfinder is used throughout the year at Parent-Teacher Night, Student of the Day, and the WAY Game. Through Pathfinder, we share who we are with our Team to build Respect, Trust, and Connections. Students begin a new journey of self-awareness. Parents get an annual snapshot and a deeper understanding of the learning process.

Develop self-awareness in students.
