PATHWAYS – NEW AND IMPROVED LEVEL 1
|
Coming soon. Level 1 in the Pathways education program will add two new projects: “Writing a Speech with Purpose” and “Introduction to Vocal Variety and Body Language." The “Ice Breaker” and “Evaluation and Feedback” projects will remain in Level 1. The “Researching and Presenting” project will be repurposed as an elective in Level 3.
When will this take effect?
These changes are anticipated by the end of the calendar year - the new Level 1 will only be available in paths selected after the launch of the two new projects.
