“A lot of remote learning was rethinking what it means to connect with someone else. Using Wayfinder as a way to facilitate that helped our students find community in a time where that was difficult and they needed it the most. There are so many ways to approach each lesson and it allows students to tailor Wayfinder to their own background and experiences.”

Year Started
Training
FlexTech Initially had six teachers trained in 2017. In 2020, an additional four teachers were trained to use Wayfinder.
Timeline
FlexTech began in 2017 with Wayfinder’s purpose toolkits. Now they have expanded to using Purpose and Belonging toolkits with their students. Currently, Wayfinder is taught in every grade.
How it's implemented
9th graders used the Belonging toolkit.
~ This was a great way for them to connect with their peers when many students didn’t know anyone.
10th graders started with a few Belonging activities and moved to Purpose activities.
~ Students used physical toolkits and did some things virtually.
11th graders used Purpose for community building.
~ They were trying to build community and welcome routines within the classroom.
~ FlexTech used Wayfinder to do checkins with teachers.
12th graders reflected on their Purpose toolkits.
~ They used Wayfinder to have 1 on 1 conversations with teachers about plans after high school.

“Wayfinder is such an amazing platform for allowing students to not only grow as individuals, but to also find connections in ways they hadn’t imagined.”
