Turn an approved daily lesson into a guest-teacher handoff

Proposed inputs

1. Name

   Approved day plan

   Owner

   Regular teacher

   Minimum scope

   One date, subject, lesson sequence and approved learning goals.

   Quality check

   Check timetable exceptions and confirm this is the final planned version.

2. Name

   Practical classroom notes

   Owner

   Teacher or administrator

   Minimum scope

   Verified material locations, ordinary routines and non-secret access instructions.

   Quality check

   Do not include passwords, named learners or individual health/accommodation records.

3. Name

   Approved fallback and escalation references

   Owner

   School

   Minimum scope

   Current contact route, where to find official safety instructions and allowed backup activities.

   Quality check

   Verify the reference is current; missing emergency details must remain a gap for staff.

Access and setup — proposed or unknown

Proposed minimum

1. Use a sanitized plan copy and a separate draft destination with no automatic distribution.

2. Have the teacher inspect the rendered document and resolve placeholders before it becomes an operational packet.

Compatibility unknowns

1. Unknown: generator installation, template rendering, real PII-filter coverage and host/model configuration.

External actions requiring approval

1. Sharing school-confidential materials, adding recipients, changing the approved plan or publishing to a school system.

Why use this

1. A complete learning objective does not tell a replacement adult which cupboard holds the handouts or how to report unfinished work. Those small omissions can derail an otherwise suitable activity.

2. The packet should reduce the need for improvised decisions while preserving the regular teacher's intent. It must not fill knowledge gaps with invented school procedures or sensitive learner details.

Why an agent / simpler alternative

Useful judgment

Turn compact planning notes into explicit operational instructions and identify where a stranger would lack necessary context.

Simpler alternative

Maintain a reusable substitute binder with the school's approved routines, adding the day's materials manually.

Unsuitable when

It requires decisions about individual students, special-education placement, emergency response beyond approved school procedures, or access to gradebooks.

Expected deliverable and review checks

Proposed artifact

A dated one-day handoff with a materials checklist, schedule, approved backup, missing-information list and return note.

Critical checks

1. Date, subject, period duration and materials match the approved source plan.

2. A substitute can find each required item from the instructions or see an explicit unresolved location.

3. No new learning objective, emergency protocol or individualized learner judgment is invented.

4. All fictional placeholders and unresolved contacts are removed or visibly held; the correct staff reviewer approves distribution.

Missing output evidence

No finished packet was rendered or used by a substitute; safeguards were not tested.

First check — proposed, unexecuted

Status

proposed_unexecuted

Synthetic fixture

A fictional adult workshop's approved day plan assumes a projector, but the teacher note says it is unavailable. One handout location is missing and an example contact is marked fictional.

Acceptance checks

1. The draft uses only a teacher-approved non-projector fallback or asks for one.

2. The missing location and fictional contact remain blocking review items rather than invented facts.

3. The learning goal stays unchanged and no participant records are requested.

Stop conditions

1. A required school procedure is missing, a placeholder would be published or personal learner data appears.

Failure signals and proposed responses

1. Signal

   The packet describes the wrong date or class period.

   Why it matters

   Otherwise sensible instructions may refer to unavailable resources or unfinished prerequisites.

   Proposed response

   Reconfirm the target day against the timetable before regenerating any file.

2. Signal

   Missing logistics are replaced with plausible room numbers.

   Why it matters

   A substitute may waste time or follow an invalid escalation route.

   Proposed response

   Leave a prominent teacher-to-complete item and block operational release.

3. Signal

   The source plan contains identifiable learner details.

   Why it matters

   A general handoff can expose information beyond its intended audience.

   Proposed response

   Stop and request an appropriately sanitized source through the school's approved process.

Effort and cost — unknown

Setup work

1. Maintain reliable classroom logistics and an approved substitute template.

Ongoing review

1. Check the daily content, materials, exceptions and handoff recipient.

Unknowns

1. Unknown: model cost, teacher review time, template reliability and classroom usefulness.

Limits

1. The teacher retains responsibility for suitability and distribution. A privacy scanner or clean document cannot establish institutional compliance.
