Retrieval Quiz

Arrival Task – What Do You Already Know?

1. Say it

Ben starts at 8:30 and the walk takes 20 minutes. What time should he leave?

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

2. Spot it

Which comes first — alarm or breakfast?

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

3. Point to it

Point to a clock in the room.

Any honest answer counts — say it out loud.

1. The big idea

What does 'Reliable beats brilliant.' mean in your own words?

Own words — one honest sentence.

2. Today's work

Today is 'Routines & Reliability' — getting there, on time. What do you think we'll be doing?

A sensible prediction — we check it at the end.

3. Success check

By the end you should be able to say: 'I can explain why routines matter at work.' What will that take today?

Name one thing you’ll need to do or try.

1. The maths

You're brilliant but late twice a week. Your workmate is average but always there. Who keeps the job — and why?

The workmate — work is a chain; a missing link stops everyone else's day too.

2. Diagnose

Find the weakest point in a morning routine - Ben's, or your own if you would rather. What breaks first when it goes wrong?

Usually the alarm, the bag, or the leaving time - whosever routine you picked.

3. Design

What's the difference between a routine and a rule?

A rule is imposed; a routine is built. You own a routine — that's why it sticks.

I Do

The Model — Routines & Reliability

Key Idea: Reliable beats brilliant.

👀 Look: the same steps every day — that steady rhythm is what people trust.

Step 0 of 3

Why reliability is the skill employers value most.

Skills get you hired; reliability keeps you hired. A team plans around the people it can count on — and gives them the chances too.

Building a simple 'get-ready' routine.

A get-ready routine takes the thinking out of mornings: same order, same places, no decisions before your brain wakes up.

Using reminders and a plan to arrive on time.

Reminders are scaffolding, not weakness — alarms, a packed bag by the door, a five-minute buffer. Professionals use them all.

We Do

Put it in order

How it works: These belong in an order. Tap them one at a time — does each land where you expected?Found: 0/5

Alarm goes off

Wash and dress

Breakfast

Check my bag

Leave on time

I Do

Proving It — The Evidence Loop

Key Idea: Launch extension: one written line — the one change that would make tomorrow morning easier.

Step 0 of 3

Documentarian

photo your routine strip.

Annotate

'my reminder is ___'.

Witness

staff tick 'planned a reliable routine', sign.

For the moderator, not just the folder

A tick says it happened. A witness statement says what you did. Before the photo is filed, the adult writes one sentence naming the thing they actually saw you do — and rings whether you did it Supported, Standard or Stretch.

That ring is the part that counts. It is the difference between “the class did this” and “this candidate did it, at this level, with this much help.” The witness sheet prints with every pack.

Independent Work

Independent Work — Studio Time

Instructions: Work at your level. Either routine counts: plan your own morning, or plan Ben’s (shift at 8:30, twenty-minute walk, kit to find). The thinking is the same and so is the evidence. Evidence goes in your ASDAN portfolio — Documentarian photo + annotation + witness tick — ASDAN LI M8 / AQA UAS.

🤝 With support

Task: Order the routine picture cards — the first and last are placed for you. Add a reminder sticker to the two steps most likely to slip.

Steps: One step at a time — adult support is right there. Photo when you’re proud of it.

👤 On your own

Task: Build your own morning-to-work routine on the strip and mark two reminders that keep you on time.

Steps: Work the task through — photo as you go, annotate at the end, witness tick before you pack up.

🚀 Take it further

Task: Build your own morning-to-work routine on the strip and mark two reminders that keep you on time. Stretch: track the change for a week — bring the evidence next lesson.

Steps: Task first, stretch second — and your annotation should explain the why, not just the what.

3.

Where does today’s evidence bank?

ASDAN LI M8 / AQA UAS

1.

'Reliable beats brilliant' — argue the opposite for one job, then say why reliability still wins overall.

E.g. an inventor? Even there, unreliable brilliance wastes a team — reliability compounds.

2.

Your routine works for a month, then breaks. What's your recovery plan?

Restart small the very next day — one broken day isn't a broken routine.

3.

Which reminder could you remove once the habit is solid? Which should stay forever?

Own answer — buffers usually stay; prompts can fade as habits harden.

Scaffolding – Supported

Access & sensory notes (staff)
· The supported task today is: Order the routine picture cards — the first and last are placed for you. Add a reminder sticker to the two steps most likely to slip.
· Fine motor: offer the chunky-grip pen, and accept a card sort or a spoken answer scribed by an adult — the judgement is the evidence, not the handwriting.
· Sensory: Talking about jobs and futures is loaded for some pupils — a parent out of work, an older sibling who left with nothing. Offer the write-it-first route before any share-aloud, and never ask a pupil to name a family member’s job.
· Cognitive load: a completed small piece beats a half-done large one at moderation. Cut the target, never the thinking.
· Ring the level honestly on the witness sheet. Supported with the work finished is a stronger portfolio entry than Standard with it abandoned.

Lundy Loop — this lesson

Space → Voice → Audience → Influence. The adult’s first job is Space: regulate before you educate.

Space	The Strengths Wall is our safe space — nothing goes up without your say-so, and 'pass' is always allowed.
Voice	Say one thing that would make your morning easier. Nobody has to explain why it is hard.
Audience	Staff hear this one and act on it — a start time, a locker, a reminder are all things we can move.
Influence	What you say here changes real arrangements in school, not just what goes on the wall.

Closing the loop: out loud, as a class, is enough here. Any inclusion counts — a nod, a word, a pointed finger. If a pupil wants theirs written down, an adult scribes it in their words. Pass is always allowed.
