The Flexible Pathways Initiative, created by Act 77 of 2013 and found in statute under16 V.S.A. § 941, encourages and supports the creativity of school districts as they develop and expand high-quality educational experiences that are an integral part of secondary education in the evolving 21st-century classroom. Flexible pathways also promote opportunities for Vermont students to achieve postsecondary readiness through high-quality educational experiences that acknowledge individual goals, learning styles, and abilities; and increase the rates of secondary school completion and postsecondary continuation in Vermont. Flexible Pathways provides for:
- Expansion of the existing statewide Dual Enrollment Program
- Expansion of the Early College Program
- Increased access to work-based learning
- Increased virtual/blended learning opportunities
- Increased access to Career and Technical Education
- Implementation of Personalized Learning
