| + | # C01-1 Checkpoint Proposal: Design Brief Ready |
| + | |
| + | **Status:** Proposal (pending Jeremy's approval) |
| + | **Created:** 2026-04-12 |
| + | **Source:** TKT-004 — C1-1 Assessment Package |
| + | |
| + | --- |
| + | |
| + | ## Checkpoint A: Design Brief Ready |
| + | |
| + | This checkpoint gates C1-1 (Design Brief Presentation). A student who completes all items is ready to join the presentation queue. A student who hasn't completed the checkpoint uses class time to finish --- naturally reducing their validation time and depth. |
| + | |
| + | ### Student Self-Check Criteria |
| + | |
| + | Students can check each item themselves before the lesson: |
| + | |
| + | 1. **Problem/need/opportunity stated** --- Brief has a clear section naming a specific, concrete problem, need, or opportunity. |
| + | 2. **Solution described** --- Brief explains what the software does and how it addresses the problem. A reader unfamiliar with the project could understand the idea. |
| + | 3. **Users identified and described** --- Primary and secondary users are named with enough detail to picture them (not just "students" but specific types of users with context). |
| + | 4. **Programming language stated with reasons** --- Language or framework is named with an explanation of why it suits the project. |
| + | 5. **Feasibility and originality addressed** --- Brief includes a section on whether the project is achievable and what makes it different. |
| + | 6. **Artefact ready** --- Brief committed to GitHub, printed copy in hand, cue card prepared (quarter A4, key talking points only), practiced presenting at least once timed at ~5 minutes. |
| + | |
| + | ### Teacher Quick Check (circulating, <60 seconds per student) |
| + | |
| + | | Check | What to look for | |
| + | |-------|-----------------| |
| + | | Printed brief | Physical copy on desk, covers all 5 content sections. They exist and say something specific. | |
| + | | Cue card | Quarter A4 or smaller. Key words, not a script. | |
| + | | Quick verbal | "In one sentence, what problem does your project solve?" Clear + specific = ready. | |
| + | |
| + | ### Feedback Prompts (done to strong) |
| + | |
| + | | Area | Prompt | |
| + | |------|--------| |
| + | | Problem too vague | "Your problem is generic. Which specific people have this problem and when?" | |
| + | | Users generic | "You say 'teachers and students.' What does a teacher actually do with your app first?" | |
| + | | Language thin | "You chose Python. Why Python and not something else? What does it give you?" | |
| + | | Feasibility missing | "I see what you're building but not why you can build it. What's your argument?" | |
| + | | Originality unclear | "If I Googled this, what would I find? What's your twist?" | |
| + | | Ready for depth | "Now think about weaknesses. What could go wrong, and what would you do?" | |
| + | |
| + | --- |
| + | |
| + | ## Proposed Checklist Integration |
| + | |
| + | **Where:** C01-2026 checklist, before the C1-1 assessment tasks. |
| + | |
| + | **Suggestion:** Group learning tasks under "Checkpoint A tasks" heading so students can track their readiness. The checkpoint items above become the self-assessment criteria at the end of the learning sequence, before the presentation. |
| + | |
| + | **Note:** The full assessment package (teacher protocol, question bank, scoring guide) is in `SD26-Teachers/sat/C01-2026/C01-1-Assessment-Package.typ`. This wiki page covers only the checkpoint criteria suitable for the student-facing checklist. |
