Insider Tips for High School Counselors: Think Like a Pathways Pro

As you head into summer break and take a well-deserved breather, we want to help you gear up for the next school year with some reporting tips and tricks for our Pathways graduation tracking tool.

Recently, our team hosted a webinar, "Counselor's Toolkit: Pathways Pro Tips," and we're sharing the highlights in this recap blog post. This webinar was all about helping you get the most out of our Pathways graduation tracking tool, so you can hit the ground running when school starts up again.

Why Pathways?

If you're already a Pathways user, you know it's a game-changer for tracking graduation requirements, CCMR indicators, programs of study, endorsements, and so much more. If you're new to the Pathways party, well, just hold on because this tool will seriously streamline your workflow.

One of the most powerful parts of Pathways? The reports section. It's where all the data magic happens, helping you see the big picture of your district's progress. And in our webinar, our Pathways pros shared their all-time favorite reports.

Our Top 5 Favorite Pathways Reports

Graduation Diploma Requirements Report

This handy report shows student deficiencies at a glance. Filter by caseload, graduation year, or even specific courses. Need to find students missing a fine arts credit? This report has your back. It even shows you in-progress credits, so you know who's on the right track.

College, Career, Military Readiness (CCMR) Report

This report is a showstopper for Texas users. It gives you a clear view of why students are (or aren't) CCMR-ready, including their industry-based certifications (IBC) and career and technical education (CTE) course alignment status. Filter by SAT scores, IBC completion, or whatever you need to see.

Counseling Domains Report

Track the time you spend in each counseling domain like a pro. Whether it's individual student meetings, group counseling, or even time spent on FAFSA support, this report tracks it all, saving you a ton of time when reporting season rolls around.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Report

Especially helpful for Indiana counselors, as this report tracks FAFSA completion, waiver status, and parent contact dates. You can easily see who's completed their FAFSA, who needs a waiver, and who you need to follow up with.

Build Your Own Report

Want a report tailored just for you? This is it! Include any attribute from the student worksheet, export it, and you've got a custom report that fits your exact needs. This is perfect for diving into those Box 2 and Box 3 indicators in Indiana.
