Can Do Descriptors

Can Do Descriptors are statements that clearly describe a person’s abilities or skills in specific areas. They are used to assess what someone can do, often in education, training, or job contexts. These descriptors provide measurable, positive language about a person’s capabilities, helping to identify strengths and guide learning or development. For example, a "Can Do" statement might say, “Can solve basic addition and subtraction problems,” indicating the person's proficiency level. They help clearly communicate progress and abilities in a way that's easy to understand and helpful for planning next steps.
