Schedule a feasible cohort and staff support
See this course’s project requirements
An original fictional partner-pilot readiness packet with purpose and roles, learner-access/privacy questions, delivery schedule, evidence definitions, staged launch gates and a review/exit agreement.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Define the fictional purpose, controlled outputs and excluded promises.
- Assign operational and authorized decision owners plus escalation routes.
- Separate practical access, permission and minimal-data questions.
- Show capacity/time calculations and evidence-linked launch/hold gates.
- Include proposed review/exit terms and an accurate unsent handoff.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- The two-organization scope and owners are specific and consistent.
- Data collection and access claims match the stated purpose and actual evidence.
- Staffing/time units reconcile and changed enrollment is handled honestly.
- Draft, unresolved, completed and reviewed stages are labeled accurately.

The idea in everyday life
Fictional Alder School and Juniper Employer are considering four 45-minute practice sessions for 12 learners. Each session has 35 minutes of activity and 10 minutes of feedback. The supplied staffing rule is at most six learners per facilitator. Two facilitators are available. Each needs 10 setup minutes before each session. School lead S owns learner access and institutional permission decisions; employer lead E owns staff availability and workplace examples; program lead P owns curriculum support and evidence definitions. All people and organizations are fictional. This is an unsent planning exercise, not an actual LifeStarter partnership or an executed agreement.
Capacity is a constraint and staff time is a resource total. Seat capacity, session minutes and facilitator minutes use different units.

1. Check seat capacity
Multiply two facilitators by the supplied six-learner limit.
You should see: Capacity is12 learners, matching the proposed cohort.
This ratio is a fictional exercise rule, not a universal teaching or safeguarding standard.
2. Check session minutes
Add35 activity minutes and10 feedback minutes; multiply the45-minute session by four.
You should see: Cohort session time is180 minutes.
This counts the shared session duration, not each person’s staff contribution.
3. Calculate staff time
Multiply180 session minutes by two facilitators, then add four setups of 10 minutes for each of two facilitators.
You should see: Session staff time360; setup80; combined440 facilitator-minutes.
Setup occurs per facilitator per session under the supplied assumptions.
4. Test expanded enrollment
Recalculate staffing for 14 learners using whole facilitators and the same six-person limit; record a hold if support is not confirmed.
You should see: Fourteen learners need three facilitators; two confirmed staff are insufficient.
Round the staffing requirement upward rather than squeezing people past the stated capacity.
What to finish
A capacity/time worksheet with unit labels and an enrollment-change decision.
Watch for this
Reporting180 minutes as total staff time while ignoring the second facilitator and setup.
How can I tell I understand it?
A larger cohort is held until the extra facilitator is confirmed.
