Supporting Full Families
Pathway Coaching
Pathway coaching is an evidence-based model intended to support the academic and socioemotional growth of our community’s youth.
Focused on coaching, mentoring, tutoring, goal setting, and resource brokering, our Pathway Coaches collaborate with teachers and administrators to address academic and behavioral needs and act as resource brokers.
At Walker, Buford, and Charlottesville High School, our Pathway Coaches support students in school and in the community, ​connecting them to extracurricular activities and complementary resources.
