Project Reset: Solve the Snag · ready-to-print cards

Starter: A team task has stalled. Before changing the plan, what must we check so the problem is about the work rather than a person?

Staff pre-stage before the 16-minute transfer

Idea Into Action · ready-to-print cards

Starter: Rank three idea cards: evidence-led, promising but untested, or attractive without evidence. Explain what moved one card above another.

Staff pre-stage before the 16-minute transfer

  • Bring forward the genuine Autumn 1 enterprise artefacts and prepare two locally relevant idea cards with evidence attached.
  • Print the Idea Test Card and need-benefit-feasibility matrix; do not require new external research in the transfer window.
  • Mark any contact, money, food, recording or impact decision that remains adult-owned.

Cut, point to, rank or sort

Card 1

Create a low-cost herb-planter trial because the approved pupil survey found interest in growing herbs in small spaces.

Card 2

Make branded keyrings because the logo looks exciting, although no user need or demand has been checked.

Card 3

Test a quiet pre-order idea for an internal practice café because two observations suggest queues are difficult; more evidence is still needed.

Card 4

Trial a sports-equipment lending checklist because the current internal log shows items are often difficult to locate.

Card 5

Sell snacks to the public next week because pupils say the idea will definitely make a profit.

Task: Create a project action map showing ordered steps, learner-owned roles, resources, adult-owned permissions, likely barrier, permitted support, backup action and first review point.

Run the Small Test · ready-to-print cards

Starter: Compare three scenarios and identify which is real, simulated or unauthorised. Explain why correct labelling protects the quality of the learning.

Staff pre-stage before the 16-minute transfer

  • Select and label one approved real activity or honest simulation that can run in eight minutes or less; retain a NOT READY preparation route.
  • Lay out the action map, materials and prediction-observation-next record before pupils arrive.
  • Agree the stop signal, one simple observation measure and the adult responsible for all money, food, data, contact, recording or safety decisions.

Cut, point to, rank or sort

Card 1

APPROVED REAL ACTIVITY: The responsible adult has confirmed the task, resources, users and controls for today's small internal trial.

Card 2

HONEST SIMULATION: The team uses fictional customers, play money and sample materials to test the process without claiming a real sale.

Card 3

UNAUTHORISED ACTIVITY: A pupil messages members of the public, collects names and takes payments without centre approval.

Card 4

NOT READY: The idea is clear, but the required permission or safe resource is still missing, so only preparation may happen today.

Eco or Sport Purpose Test · ready-to-print cards

Starter: Identify which challenge is a purposeful test and which is merely a stunt. Explain the missing link in the weaker option.

Staff pre-stage before the 16-minute transfer

  • Choose one route—eco or sport—for each group rather than preparing both, and ensure the baseline and changed version each take no more than five minutes.
  • Complete the safety and access plan, prepare a seated or non-physical route, and lay out simple measuring tools.
  • Print the baseline-test record with the project question and permitted single change already entered.

Cut, point to, rank or sort

Card 1

ECO TEST: Compare the same sample in the current packaging and a lower-waste version, then measure material used.

Card 2

SPORT AND INCLUSION TEST: Keep the activity goal the same, change one instruction or layout feature and count successful turns.

Card 3

STUNT: Build the tallest tower in thirty seconds even though height does not answer the project's question.

Card 4

STUNT: Race to collect the most items, with no baseline, agreed measure or link to the intended user benefit.

Card 5

WEAK TEST: Change the equipment, instructions and team size together, then claim one change caused the result.
