{"A":"Middlesex County Public Schools","B":"Pathfinders Program","C":"The Pathfinders program brings together high school juniors to explore their personal interests, skills,  and strengths, as they search for the intersection between what they like, what they are good at, and what they can make a living doing. Through a variety of experiences, from college campus visits and field trips to book studies and group projects, students have unique opportunities to discover and learn things that are important to them and shape their vision of their future. Through relevant, highly individualized instruction, the Pathfinders have voice and choice in their decisions on what to study through various providers. From Medical Terminology to German to Photography, students participate in carefully designed experiences tailored to them, with the appropriate mix of assistance and challenge.  With the time, support, and resources of the Pathfinders program, they become more in tune with what they want, who they are, and who they want to be.","D":"Christine Pedersen, Pathfinders Instructor, cpedersen@mcps.k12.va.us","E":""}
