11 reasons to use Learning Pathways

Learning Pathways is a digital platform designed to assist schools in planning, implementing, and evaluating strategies to improve student outcomes. It provides a range of powerful tools that enable school leaders, teaching staff, parents or guardians and external specialists to make informed decisions based on real-time data, fostering effective approaches, such as Individual Learning Plans, to support every student's learning and growth. 

You can learn more about Individual Learning Plans on our comprehensive Advice Hub.  

Now that the purpose of the platform is fresh in your mind, read on to find 11 reasons why you should use Learning Pathways – from centralising student information to support inclusive education practices to improving stakeholder management.  

1. Centralised student information  

When supporting students with diverse learning needs, it’s important you can access all the information you need, when you need it. Learning Pathways centralises all the data required to track and revise teaching strategies for each student, bringing everything together into one system.  

It eliminates the need for endless email chains and issues with paperwork going missing. Furthermore, the tool helps reduce different ways of working and streamline processes, enabling schools to share information more effectively with staff and parents or guardians.  

2. Supports Individual Learning Plans (ILPs)  

As you know, every student learns differently and it’s your job to help them meet their learning objectives, at their own pace.  

Learning Pathways enables schools to develop detailed and customised learning plans for each student based on their specific needs. The software allows teaching staff to build comprehensive student profiles that can be used to identify areas where additional support is required, and to plan appropriate strategies and tactics to meet these needs.

3. Access to real-time data  

With personalised learning plans, progress tracking and monitoring are ongoing and key to the success of the plan.  

Learning Pathways gives you access to real-time data to effectively monitor and make adjustments to the strategies and interventions set out to help each student reach their learning goals. It allows you to make informed decisions based on evidence and quickly map out adjustments that need to be made to keep the learning plan on track.  

4. Comprehensive reporting capabilities  

With access to accurate and consistent data, Learning Pathways provides comprehensive reporting functionality to track and monitor progress at student, group and school-wide levels.  

Best of all, reports can be customised to suit the needs of the school and be used to inform decision-making and be easily shared with all stakeholders involved, including parents and guardians.  

5. Improves stakeholder management  

When it comes to developing, executing and monitoring personalised learning plans, multiple stakeholders are typically involved, including teachers, external specialists, parents and guardians, and the students themselves.  

With the centralisation of student information, Learning Pathways allows all stakeholders to have visibility over the student’s progress and be kept informed of any updates. With improved communication and management of key collaborators, the learning plan can be executed to its full potential.  

6. Easy to use for all stakeholders  

As a student’s learning plan requires multiple stakeholders, often with varying confidence using technology, it’s important that everyone is able to use the software to update and monitor the ongoing execution of the plan.  

Learning Pathways has been designed to be user-friendly and comes with clear, step-by-step guidance on how to create interventions, track progress and generate reports.  

You can also access a range of support and training resources, including online tutorials, user guides and webinars so your school and staff can make the most of the software.

7. Compatible with existing systems 

We know how finicky technology can be, so Learning Pathways has been designed to make implementation as smooth as possible.   

The platform is compatible with existing school systems, such as Management Information Systems (MIS), enabling schools to integrate the software seamlessly into their existing infrastructure. 

This will save your school valuable money and time as you don’t need to invest in new software and can start using Learning Pathways immediately. 

8. Cloud-based and accessible  

When you’re working with multiple stakeholders, it’s important that everyone has access to the program.  

Learning Pathways is cloud-based and can be accessed by key stakeholders from anywhere with an internet connection. This enhances collaboration and data sharing for everyone involved, regardless of their physical location.  

9. Time-saving solution 

By saving countless hours collating data for reporting, teaching staff can spend less time stuck in paperwork and more time on high-impact tasks and helping students reach their full learning potential. By utilising the templates in the software, you can streamline the creation of learning plans.  

10. Complies with data protection regulations  

Learning Pathways includes built-in functionality to support requirements of the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD), helping to maintain a streamlined, consistent and compliant framework.   

The platform also supports in making funding more accessible by capturing all the evidence and data needed to make learning adjustments and ensuring you have access to the correct funding.  

11. Improves student outcomes 

Most importantly, Learning Pathways can help elevate student outcomes and reach their learning goals, both in the classroom and at home.   

The platform helps key stakeholders involved in a child’s learning plan have access to the tools they need to develop and implement effective teaching strategies. The software enables schools to support the learning and development of all students – including those with special needs, learning disabilities, and gifted and talented – leading to improved outcomes for everyone.
