Maryland alignment

Maryland's framework is specific. So is Pathful.

Maryland has one of the most structurally complex graduation frameworks in the country. Six-Year Plans, Career-Connected Learning documentation, eleven CCR pathways, industry-recognized credential tracking, and AIB performance-based funding all require evidence that survives an Expert Review Team visit. Every requirement has a direct counterpart in Pathful. Built for it, requirement by requirement.

Maryland requires

  • Six-Year Plan compliance (7 MSDE-required elements)

    Each student's plan must document Components, Timeline, Access, Development, Approval, Annual Revision, and Coordination. AIB funding conditionality is tied to district-level progress.

  • Career-Connected Learning hour tracking (CCL 1 and CCL 2)

    250-hour minimum per course, MSDE-approved work plan with employer e-signature, documented work artifacts, ERT audit trail.

  • CCR Standard (eleven pathway options)

    Nine Demonstrating Readiness options plus two Initial Determination paths. Each requires different evidence: GPA, MCAP, AP scores, WorkKeys NCRC, IRC attainment, registered apprenticeship hours.

  • Industry-recognized credential tracking (45% by 2031)

    GWDB CTE Committee IRC list. State-approved credentials tracked against Blueprint mandate. Perkins V 5S1 reporting.

  • Expert Review Team audit readiness

    ERTs deployed annually at 10% of schools. Beginning July 1, 2025, ERT findings can withhold a portion of a district's annual funding increase.

Pathful delivers

  • Six-Year Plan evidence dashboard

    All seven required elements documented per student. ERT-ready export on demand. Six elements covered out of the box; Timeline element configurable by district.

  • CCL documentation suite

    MSDE-formatted work plan builder with employer and supportive-adult e-signature capture. Hour threshold tracking per student. Single-click ERT audit export.

  • Unified CCR evidence view

    Single student view showing evidence across all eleven CCR options simultaneously. Counselor caseload dashboard. No manual cross-system reconciliation.

  • Credential attainment dashboard

    IRC tracking against the GWDB CTE Committee list. Perkins V 5S1 and 5S3 pipeline reporting. District-level 45% goal progress view.

  • On-demand ERT evidence package

    Competency tracking, credential attainment, Career-Connected Learning documentation, and Six-Year Plan evidence exported in a single report in the format auditors expect.
