General Information

Warrior Pathways (formerly AVID)

is an elective course and a school-wide approach to curriculum and rigor adopted by more than 4,000 schools in 45 states and 15 countries over 28 years. It is a research-based program that equips students to meet the challenges of rigorous coursework in high school and college.

When we think of Warrior Pathways students at Muskego-Norway Schools, we think of students who:

• Test high on standardized tests like STAR and ASPIRE.
• Earn grades that do not always reflect their ability.
• Have desire and determination to be challenged academically.
• Are working towards college and career readiness.
• Have the drive to take an AP course or other college preparatory courses.

The Warrior Pathways elective course is only for students in Warrior Pathways.

The class counts as an elective credit which meets every day with a structured curriculum that is designed to support students toward their college and career goals. While taking Warrior Pathways, students should see Warrior Pathways as an elective that also supports them in their other courses through writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and reading strategies. Also, to support students’ preparation for college and career, students must receive no more than one D and zero Fs on a term report card. Students are expected to seek out help when struggling but will also have the support of a Warrior Pathways team member in the building.

The Warrior Pathways course focuses upon College and Career Readiness as well as WICOR strategies:

• Writing Practice and Strategies
• Inquiry and Questioning Techniques
• Collaboration and Communication Skills
• Organizational and Time Management Practices and Commitments
• Reading and Discussion Strategies

What Warrior Pathways is NOT:

• Remediation
• A “quick fix”
• An At-Risk Program or Intervention Program
• Content Mastery
• Supportive Study Hall
