Source document note

The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

• indicator text - p.72: printed with a bullet in front of the code, '- B9.1.2.1.2. Initiate and participate ...', like an exemplar; it is bold, opens its own table row and has its own competency cell, so it is transcribed as an indicator
