Lessons, skill drills, content, and scenarios should build the knowledge needed for this path.
- Lessons with cited sources and minority-report context

- 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

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
