This path is for members preparing for the Registered Parliamentarian credential and the deeper procedural range it expects.

Start here: lessons, skill drills, cited content, and scenarios build the knowledge needed before the learner commits to a full 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
Plan
Prepare for NAP RP with broader motion knowledge and written analysis.
- Choose the path that fits the learner's goal: NAP Credential Paths.

Do
Recommended participatory activities should match the plan and current lesson progress. Do includes Reflect: practice in the room, then look back at what worked.
- 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
- Reflection prompts: what worked, what confused the room, and what to try at the next meeting
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
