System Overview. The Pathwise system is grounded in nineteen (19) essential teaching criteria and is based on an active constructivist view of teaching and learning in which a student's life experiences and prior knowledge are regarded as important instructional resources. This idea suggests that a Professional Staff Member is not the sole source of knowledge; that students also participate in the generation and sharing of understanding. The Professional Staff Member and students together become a learning community in which everyone's contributions are valued. The Professional Staff Member evaluation model is designed to give all Professional Staff Members, regardless of their styles of teaching, an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities naturally, in a variety of ways. The evaluation model is differentiated in the following ways: - Entry Year - Selected Professional Development - Strategic Professional Development
