# Facilitator kit: session checklist **For the facilitator. Print one copy per session.** The plans, prep estimates and debrief questions are on the teaching page: https://assured-methodology.vercel.app/docs/teaching Timings are for 90-minute sessions. When a session runs long, cut the quiz debate before you cut the exercise. ## Before every session - [ ] Participants told the prep load (full and minimum path) at least three working days ahead. - [ ] Facilitator prep done (about 2 hours): the session's chapters, the relevant answer keys, and the kit files listed below. - [ ] Pairs assigned (4-12 participants; keep Session 3 pairs for Session 4). - [ ] Remote: breakout rooms set up, one shared document per pair, keys kept out of the main room until the debrief. - [ ] Answer keys stay with the facilitator. Participants write before they see any key. ## Session 1 · The shape of the work (A) Kit files: `depth-ladder-alert-set.md` (one per participant), unless you have five sanitized alerts from your own queue. | Minutes | Block | | --- | --- | | 0-5 | Open: the seven questions, and why the record is the deliverable | | 5-25 | Case A's Alert example, one person per step, "what would you do next" before each reveal | | 25-55 | Alert quiz as argued discussion: answer alone, defend splits, then explanations | | 55-80 | Depth ladder: assign a level to each alert, one-line justification, then the key | | 80-90 | Close: when should IR have been paged in Case A, and what did the wait cost | - [ ] Collected: each participant's level assignments with justifications. - [ ] Noted: the quiz item that split the room, and the alert most people mis-levelled. ## Session 2 · Who and how much (S · S) Kit files: Exercise 1 learner packet (`exercise-print-server.md`). | Minutes | Block | | --- | --- | | 0-5 | Open: "who before where" | | 5-45 | Exercise 1 tasks 1-3 (Alert, Subject, Scope) in pairs, written | | 45-65 | Debrief against the key: who treated the service account as the subject | | 65-90 | Subject and Scope quizzes: discuss only the items the room split on | - [ ] Collected: pair-written subject determinations and scope boundaries. ## Session 3 · Evidence and verdict (U · R) Kit files: `ai-draft-exercise-1-uncover.md` (one per pair), and the Exercise 1 anchors (`anchors-exercise-1.md`) for your own calibration beforehand. | Minutes | Block | | --- | --- | | 0-30 | Exercise 1 tasks 4-5 (Uncover, Risk), pairs keep a visible hypothesis ledger | | 30-50 | Debrief with the Cognitive traps page open: which trap came closest | | 50-70 | Risk framing drill: half the room scores impact, half scores likelihood, then combine | | 70-90 | "Verify the draft": mark the two planted errors, fill the Material AI use field | - [ ] Collected: Exercise 1 write-ups through Risk (this is the calibration set for grading), and each pair's marked-up AI draft. ## Session 4 · The decision and the record (E · D) Kit files: Exercise 2 and Exercise 3 learner packets; the Exercise 2 and Exercise 3 anchors for your own calibration beforehand. | Minutes | Block | | --- | --- | | 0-20 | Exercise 1 tasks 6-7 (Escalation decision, Documentation) in the Session 3 pairs | | 20-50 | Exercise 2 solo, in writing, strictly 30 minutes | | 50-65 | Debrief: who verified the change ticket, and who deferred to it | | 65-75 | Exercise 3 as a literal five-minute timed drill, plus the timer-off part | | 75-90 | Revise one or two volunteer close notes against the rubric, as a group | - [ ] Collected: each participant's Exercise 2 Risk paragraph and verdict. - [ ] Post-test (Form B, about 20 minutes) scheduled, if you ran Form A. ## Optional Session 5 · The capstone (2 hours) Kit files: `capstone-packet.md` (one per candidate, coded, no names), `capstone-scoring-guide.md` (facilitator only, holds the inject), and `capstone-score-sheet.md` (two per script). | Minutes | Block | | --- | --- | | 0-10 | Briefing: rules (solo, written, open book, no AI assistant, no conferring), codes handed out | | 10-55 | Capstone, first part | | 55 | Hand out the inject to each candidate who has recorded an Escalation decision and its time; the rest receive it at minute 70 | | 55-100 | Capstone, second part: post-inject update | | 100-120 | Scripts collected under their codes. No debrief until both raters have scored | - [ ] Coordinator (not a rater) holds the code-to-name list. - [ ] Two raters booked, at least one who did not teach the cohort. - [ ] Raters ran the 15-minute calibration on the anchors before scoring. - [ ] Raw scores from both raters recorded before any discussion. - [ ] Debrief scheduled after reconciliation. ## After the course - [ ] Sign-off on two real cases per participant (a lead reviews two of their own queue records; both pass all five rubric checks). - [ ] Results reported in aggregate only, never used in performance evaluation.
