Pathways to Progress
Pathways to Progress is a program designed to empower students to move toward the achievement of self-motivation and an honorable self-imposed work ethic. Utilizing a highly-structured three-tier plan for achieving success, Pathways to Progress is an initiative of Gettys Middle School to demonstrate a devotion to help all students succeed personally and academically. Students who are not meeting their full potential are given the opportunity to participate in this tutorial program for academics and character counseling. This pathway is not intended to focus solely upon insisting students meet exemplary demands of state academic standards but to put equal impetus on developing a desire to meet their own need to demonstrate to their school, society, and self that they have a strong character foundation that will help drive their personal success. The program uses individual academic coaching and opportunities for self-exploration guided by counselors, teachers and administrators. The results are astoundingly positive and rewarding for the school community as they witness the transformation of students to self-motivated, academically successful students.
