Note: We recommend you consider choosing a name for your new set of milestones that will relate to the role/grade that the set is for and for when the set applies, e.g., 9 th Grade Spring This will provide useful data to other educators with professional accounts connected to your site.

You can build a set from between 1 and 18 activities. The sample set below has 6 milestones selected. Refer to the student side of the program ( to learn more about each activity. The colored section headings at left refer to on which content tab each can be found. 7. When you have selected all the desired activities, click the Save button.

5 8. To change the assignment of a set of planning milestones to a role/grade, click on the dropdown menu in the column titled Planning Milestones Set to be Displayed and select the desired set or select None. Make sure you click on the Save button after you have made any changes in assignments. 9. To see the assigned set of milestones in a student account, have a student from the desired role/grade sign into their account at Select the Your Portfolio tab.

Once a student completes an activity from the milestones set, a blue check will appear in the center column space and include the date on which the activity was most recently completed. (image on next page) Milestone sets can be easily tracked by educators from the Reports tab in the Professional Center. Milestones do not have to be completed in a particular sequence. This can be helpful when computer access time is limited, so if a student does not have sufficient time to complete one activity they could pick a different milestone from the set.

6 Below is how a set of milestones appears in a user s account. The underlined link on the right side of the panel will take the user directly to the feature in Florida CHOICES. For example, instead of looking in each content tab for the Entrepreneurial Checklist activity, the link in the milestones panel will take the user directly to it.
