Instructor guide: someone else can teach it

Only I can teach this course.

Prompt

One test: after the session, learners can do something unaided that they could not before. Without that, richness is noise.

Task: Only I can teach this course.

[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:
   - structure and key moments
   - the tacit judgement I rely on
   - other instructors' level
   - delivery frequency
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- per session: key points, pitfalls, timing
- mark what must be said verbatim
- three likely questions with standard answers
- where instructors may improvise

[Process]
1. Write an observable 'can do' statement
2. Work backwards and cut what does not serve it
3. One ten-minute exercise per session
4. One question that exposes misunderstanding
5. Mark where learners drop out

[Output]
Goal, content, exercise, check, dropout point.

[Do not]
- No unobservable objectives like 'understand'
- One point per session
- Never lecture without practice
- Do not assume their interest matches yours

What to state before it starts

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

  • structure and key moments
  • the tacit judgement I rely on
  • other instructors' level
  • delivery frequency

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.

  • per session: key points, pitfalls, timing
  • mark what must be said verbatim
  • three likely questions with standard answers
  • where instructors may improvise
