Certification Foundations
Core rules, motions, meeting structure, and governing source logic
This is the public on-ramp. It teaches what rules of order are for, how a motion moves, how common subsidiary motions shape a question, how meeting structure works, and how to tell which rule source controls.
All five lessons are open without an account. Progress is stored locally until the learner decides to register.
When sources disagree (2 topics under review)
How to study here
- Start with the lesson review page to see the vocabulary and cited source posture.
- Run the quick fire, sequence, matchup, flashcard, and mix drills in order.
- Use the authority lesson to practice explaining which source controls when texts differ.
Plan / Learn / Do / Teach
Plan
Plan the learner's path, the authority in view, and the credential or organizational outcome they are aiming for.
- Choose the path that fits the learner's goal: Public On-Ramp.
- Anchor the study plan in Certification Foundations.
Learn
Lessons, skill drills, content, and scenarios should build the knowledge needed for this path.
- Lessons with cited sources and minority-report context
- Skill drills that reinforce vocabulary, flow, and rule choice
- Content and scenarios matched to the learner's current path
- Progressive practice that turns recognition into usable recall
Do
Recommended participatory activities should be matched to the learner's plan and current lesson progress.
- Participatory activities matched to the plan and the current lessons
- Recommended floor-work, meeting-observation, and scenario-response tasks
- Real-world practice such as drafting a motion script, chairing a segment, or briefing another member
Teach
The path should end in shared use: coaching, presenting, or certifying as a teacher where that route exists.
- Activities done with another user or in a group setting
- Explain-it-back work, short presentations, and guided coaching prompts
- How to help another learner, committee, or group use the rule well
- Presentation and collaborative practice that turns solo study into shared competence
