I have developed a Locally Created Pathway through the IDOE titled The Evolution Towards Employability. This Pathway is only allowed for 5% of cohorts and only intended for Alt Ed students. The cluster of classes include Careers, Personal Finance, Speech, Adult Roles & Responsibilities, and an internship (job or volunteering). Our alternative school is in person, but with the online forum Edgenuity. With our new pathway, we have also revised how we provide instruction. Pathway courses are provided in person at the ALC with a live teacher. We are also partnering with local businesses like the Chamber of Commerce to help find jobs for students, Ivy Tech and Freedom Academy to provide options for students earning certificates in lieu of a 4-year degree, and the Armed Forces. This pathway program also allows us to invite guests in and take students on field trips out to local businesses.
