 Procedure:     1. Identify one CanDo statement or learning outcome that is central to your curricular plan. For help, visit the NCSSFL-ACTFL Global CanDo Benchmarks.

                        2. Present learners with the relevant outcome and give them examples of what success at three target proficiency levels might look like. Include possible activities that can help them reach their goal(s).

3. Have learners map their path of learning activities and tasks to reach the target goal.  

4. After each has done their task individually, have them work in pairs to compare paths and modify their own path(s) using the guiding questions on the My Pathways Sheet.
