Virginia Pathways is an educational video series with print and web materials, produced in association with the Virginia History Production Consortium. Designed for use in the classroom, each episode reflects the experiences of a group of 9 to 11 year old children. The programs can be viewed in their entirety, but also contain stand-alone educational components within each episode. These are produced so that they may be viewed in isolation from the rest of the story. Print materials, designed specifically for the classroom educator, accompany each episode.
