“What turns a good idea into something that actually happens?”

The titles are open to everyone. Reading a lesson needs an account — sign in or create one.

1. Choosing a viable solution
   40 min · 2 practice tasks · quiz
   Judging ideas against criteria instead of enthusiasm, and planning who does what.
2. Implementing and reporting
   40 min · 2 practice tasks · quiz
   Carrying the plan out, handing it over, and writing a report worth reading.
3. Scoring solutions against criteria
   40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
   A scoring grid turns opinions into comparable judgements, using the same criteria for every option.
4. Weights, ties and the cause check
   40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
   Not every criterion is equal; a tied score is not a decision; the winner still has to treat the named cause.
5. Who, when and resources
   40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
   Every task needs one named person, a real date, and a list of what it consumes.
6. Risk and do-no-harm
   40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
   Name how people, dignity, the environment and reputations could be worse off, and prepare a milder version.
7. Permissions: whose yes you need
   40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
   Map the yes-holders, ask in order, and stop at the lowest yes that is actually enough.
8. Asking for permission well
   40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
   A one-page request names the problem, the action, the time, the supervision and how they can say no.
9. A one-page implementation plan
   40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
   If the plan needs a booklet, the action is too big. One page forces the decisions that matter.
10. Roles: one owner per task
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    An owner is accountable, not the only worker; a deputy keeps exams and illness from killing the task.
11. Learner-sized actions
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    School drain, market waste and paired reading as models of size: a first cycle in four to six weeks with school-hours time.
12. Running a small real action
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    The first doing: brief, arrive, stay inside the plan, record as you go, stop on time, thank people.
13. Mid-action checks
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    A check in the middle asks whether to continue, adjust or stop, while there is still time to change the method.
14. Adjusting without abandoning
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Change the method, keep the purpose; write the change; tell the people who said yes.
15. Honest shortfalls
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Name what did not happen, give the cause, and say what you would do next time - without dressing it as success.
16. Structure of a reflective report
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Seven sections, three to five pages, so a reader who was not there can decide what to do next.
17. Presenting back to the community
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    The community is the audience, not the teacher: eight minutes, the numbers, the shortfalls, who holds it, one question for them.
18. What lasts after Grade 10 leaves
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    A solution is something other people can keep running: named successor, trained run, records, one simple rule.
