BPS Virtual Pathways Program Overview

The Buffalo Public Schools Virtual Pathways Program (VPP) was created in September 2016, with a mission to offer instruction to students in an innovative, nontraditional, virtual environment.  The use of technology as a main form of instructional delivery allows students to receive instruction and feedback tailored to their own unique learning needs, promoting simultaneous acquisition to content knowledge and 21st century skills. Currently, the VPP offers courses in initial credit electives, online credit recovery (OCR) and electives.
 
GradPoint by Pearson Education, the BPS learning management system, is the curricular heart of the Virtual Pathways Program and has one full-time New State Certified Administrator, one New York State Certified School Counselor and 8 New York State Certified content specific teachers. GradPoint hosts all course content for the VPP courses offered, inclusive of initial credit electives, online credit recovery and credit accrual.  Students use GradPoint to engage with their content, communicate with their teachers, and use supplemental resources available within the platform to support their coursework.  Teachers use GradPoint to monitor student progress, communicate with students, provide and document feedback of student work, allow student retries on assignments and maintain grades.

The BPS Virtual Learning Program is designed for enrichment and advancement as well as to help students meet graduation requirements. Students are enrolled in  GradPoint, a web-based learning environment, facilitated by a NYS certified Buffalo Public School teachers. Use of GradPoint expands course offerings and opportunities to students across the district. In addition, this program builds pathways to graduation for students who are short credits, who need electives or advanced courses, or who have missed requirements because of an illness, schedule conflict or extenuating personal or academic circumstances. The program follows the NYS Part 100 Regulations and courses are aligned with New York State and Common Core Standards. Students have scheduled time, in a computer lab, to access their courses and have the opportunity to work at home or an alternate off-site location providing technology is available.
