What is a Pathfinder?
A Pathfinder is a collection of resources for a teacher's use that covered a specific topic taught in class. For example, the Civil War in social studies, The Great Gatsby in English, acids and bases in Chemistry, and so on.
A Pathfinder accumulates and stores various types of resources (websites, journals, books, videos, etc.) that would help a person research that specific topic and learn more about it without having to dig through mounds of information.
It is a great way to ensure that students are getting access to
high-quality resources without having to reinvent the
wheel every year!
Pathfinder Highlights
There are six types of resources available:
-
print resources available at the high school library
-
print resources available at the Farmington Public Library
-
websites
-
academic database articles
-
textbook articles
-

The print resources will have the call number (how you find the book in the library) and a brief description of what you will find in that resource.
The web resources will have a clickable link to take you directly the resource, as well as a description of the resource.
