Pathways for University Courses - Previous Revision

A Flexible Alternative to a Traditional Course Text

Are you considering adopting a new course text but no one text does it all and you certainly can’t ask your students to purchase multiple texts?  Would you like the flexibility in your syllabus that only digital access can provide?  Pathways might be just the solution you are looking for.

For just $95 (no more than the average textbook), students gain access for one full year to resources such as:

  • Instructors Share Their Thoughts About Pathways

    Because Pathways provides me with access to the most recent materials out there, I’m able to model for students how to use information that comes out instantaneously for instruction.”

    If we’re advocating differentiated instruction and multiple intelligences as a foundation to good teaching and learning, then how can we use just a textbook?   The multimodal resources in Pathways allow for differentiating instruction so more auditory/visual learners can delve into content through different intelligences, for the same cost as a textbook."

    My students enjoy watching & hearing veteran teachers talk about practice in the Webinars. It helps them feel less intimidated when they start teaching to know veteran teachers are still grappling with practice and still trying to figure it out.”

    Full text access to key NCTE journal articles and book chapters
  • Videos of classroom instruction from across the disciplines
  • Podcasts from literacy experts in the field

In addition to these resources, Pathways offers your class a private discussion forum and collaboration tools. Everything your students need in one place--from posting assignments, sharing reflections, experiences, and ideas, and uploading lesson plans. Course instructors receive complimentary access to Pathways for the duration of their course.

Currently Pathways is being used in the following University courses:

  • Literacy across the content areas
  • Instructional technology
  • New literacies
  • English methods See sample syllabus

Students Share Their Thoughts about Pathways

I appreciate the concept of professionals from across the country collaborating in appropriate and progressive ways to enrich their curriculum. The format of this webinar permits teachers and professors to share basic concepts that are essential teachings in any secondary English classroom, and the forum that NCTE provides for such collaboration to take place makes communicating this interesting and engaging.” –Christopher

With the rise in technology in the classroom and attempting to integrate it with students’ critical thinking skills, I do have concerns as a new teacher. I think it will be a challenge to make this seamless in my first few years of teaching, but in using the Pathways resources, I remind myself that it is extremely important to keep these goals and ideas readily available in order to benefit my students to the full extent.”  --Alison
