When Kentucky updated its graduation requirements to include an Individual Learning Plan focused on career exploration and postsecondary education for all students 6th grade and above, the Jefferson County Public School system turned to Pathful. The Jefferson County Public School system relies on Pathful as an integral component of their CTE education, utilizing it with all middle and high school students county-wide to help them gain insight into their career aspirations and explore future careers while meeting the state’s ILP requirements.

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.

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.

The guide developed by Jefferson County Public Schools offers a structured pathway to fulfill the state's ILP completion mandates using Pathful, while allowing teachers the freedom to tailor the content to their students' needs. This approach not only empowers teachers to personalize the material, but also guarantees that all students are adequately prepared for graduation and beyond.

Leveraging their 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.
