PathwayConnect Team Instructor

An instructor is an important part of the worldwide block instructional team. With a strong focus on the academic success of every student, instructors use their subject matter expertise and deep understanding of the curriculum and student population to:

  • Identify trends impeding academic success
  • Conduct targeted outreach and provide instruction to impacted groups and individuals
  • Build capable learners, confident in their ability to succeed academically and in life

Instructors do not develop lessons or assessments, nor do they issue grades on student work (grading is handled by a centrally-managed pool of qualified Team Graders). Their main focus is on the academic success of every student in their care.
