Case walkthrough: judgement before answer

Giving the answer teaches no method.

Prompt

Three things in class: get them doing, surface misunderstanding, make feedback specific. Being eloquent is not the goal.

Task: Giving the answer teaches no method.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - context and decision point
   - their level
   - time
   - the method to teach
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- stop at the decision point and let them judge
- collect two or three views
- then reveal the outcome and why views differed
- one transferable rule

[Process]
1. Read the room before following the plan
2. Surface misunderstanding with questions
3. Feedback on behaviour and next step, never on the person
4. Separate tasks by level
5. Leave two minutes for their recap

[Output]
Reading the room, questions, feedback, tiers, close.

[Do not]
- Never embarrass anyone
- Never 'this is so simple'
- Do not skip practice to keep pace
- 'Any questions' is not interaction

What to state before it starts

Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.

  • context and decision point
  • their level
  • time
  • the method to teach

Go through each of these

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.

  • stop at the decision point and let them judge
  • collect two or three views
  • then reveal the outcome and why views differed
  • one transferable rule
