Extended Abstract: 

Education is a map. Students identify a destination, but they need directions to get to their destination. Curriculum and subject matter experts are the navigators. Designing outcomes and identifying the destination are first steps in building a competency based education program. What are students able to demonstrate after a curricular pathway? Start with the destination and build the pathway roadmap backwards to create the map students need to develop proficiency and mastery of their destination.
