How will the new math pathways impact my student?
The Virginia Math Pathways Initiative is in the public comment phase and could still change a bit. If approved as is, the first school year of instruction aligned to these pathways would be 2024-25. While the proposed changes do emphasize depth of mathematical understanding over breadth, they definitely still allow for school divisions to accelerate the content for highly capable students. As of today, GCPS plans to continue to provide high quality instruction and acceleration of math content as appropriate to maximize the potential of the individual student.
