Gradient Learning

How does a school go from being on the brink of closing to becoming one of the top high schools in the state in a few short years? This new three-part series tells the story of Santa Fe South Pathways Middle College in Oklahoma City, where educators, students, and partners came together to rewrite what high school could be. In this episode, Principal Chris McAdoo explains how their partnership with Gradient Learning has transformed the student experience and improved outcomes. 🎥 Episode 1 is out now, and it’s a reminder of what’s possible when students are seen, supported, and believed in.

A few years ago, this school was on the brink of closing. School leaders knew they needed to do something different. More and more students began to show up. One persevered, learning everyday while her family navigated life after a devastating car accident. One graduate returned, not just to teach but to give the next generation what he once received. Today, this school is one of the top high schools in Oklahoma. 🎬 Gradient Learning is proud to share Pathways to Purpose, a three-part series about what’s possible when schools are supported to become places where students and educators truly thrive, featuring Santa Fe South Pathways Middle College. ▶️ Enjoy this sneak peek.

“The Gradient Guides play an invaluable role in supporting teachers across our schools. They walk alongside their colleagues, helping them troubleshoot and build skills to navigate the learning platform with confidence.” “Having a Gradient Guide has saved me countless hours as an administrator saving me from the minutiae of platform management. The real-time support has allowed me to fully dedicate my focus where it is needed.” ….just a few examples of what our partners are saying about the value of the Gradient Guide program at Gradient Learning. I’m honored to support this group of passionate leaders! #gradientlearning #teacherleaders #wholestudenteducation

The middle school brain is literally under construction. This stage is the most important time to intentionally develop real life skills such as self-direction, resilience, and agency. When we try to remove every challenge, we’re not actually helping. We’re preventing a “productive struggle” that helps students build neural highways they need to build independence.
