The model

The Atelier Path

The Atelier Path is the personalised route one child takes through the Worlds, shaped by what they have actually done, what they are ready for and what they keep returning to.

Its role

What this does in the system.

It turns a large body of content into one child's coherent education, so a parent is never choosing from a menu.

Relationships

How it connects to the rest of the model.

The Path is composed of Explorations, records evidence and mastery, and is redirected whenever the child's interests move.

In practice

A concrete example.

Three weeks of ramps and friction lead the Path to suggest gear ratios rather than a new topic, because the child's questions have stopped being about speed and started being about force.
