My school is still on a block schedule so I struggle to find enough course offerings in a pathway so students do not have to take the same course twice or where I don't have to teach two classes during the same block. Can you share your course offerings in a pathway or let me know how your school schedules classes? Thank you.

We just switched from 7 period to 5 period semesters allowing me to teach 2 more courses. With freshman having more electives I went from 2 to 4 Principles of Ag classes so it didn't really open much up but so far it's okay.
I have 3 pathways and 7 classes.
Hort: Principles, Greenhouse, Landscaping
Animal: Principles, Animal Science, Advanced Animal Science
Ag Power/Construction: Principles, Construction, Small Power
I was rotating Landscaping and Small Power each year. I got in a crunch on Advanced Animal this year and had to offer the Racer Academy Course during my planning to allow kids to finish. I haven't figured the new schedule out totally, some of my rotations will be based off numbers and which classes would allow the most kids to complete a pathway. Their 4th class could be Ag Co-Op or a CTE course in another department. So far, it has been very manageable teaching 3 pathways with just myself:) Good luck!
We are on 7 period day year round so I don't know if this will help, however
