Their goal with Pathful
Prior to engaging Pathful’s assistance, Jefferson
County Public Schools relied on spreadsheets and self-
reporting methods to monitor student Individual
Learning Plan (ILP) completion. Recognizing the need
for a more intuitive and trackable solution, Jefferson
County sought a platform that not only facilitated ILP
tracking but also met state requirements and better
equipped students for their future.
How we found success
Leveraging their amazing relationship with their Pathful
team, Jefferson County Public Schools developed a
guide for using Pathful to cover Kentucky’s ILP
requirements. Pathful has continually ensured
Jefferson County Public Schools is supported
throughout their implementation with customized
trainings, resources, data preparation, and the
dedicated guidance of a Success Manager.
Impact
Jefferson County Public Schools attests to the
transformative impact of Pathful on their curriculum,
noting its enhanced ease of use and reliability for
teachers, coupled with increased student engagement.
This has resulted in the expanded adoption of Pathful
across both middle and high schools district-wide.
