Map the whole attendance window
See this course’s project requirements
An attendance-feasibility packet with weekly windows, route comparison, coverage plan, cost sheet, disruption messages, and a tested go, revise, or pause decision.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- A weekly attendance map showing fixed hours, preparation, travel, handoff, and return windows.
- A two-route comparison with segment totals, round-trip costs, return checks, and access questions.
- A coverage table and handoff note with gaps, confirmation status, and a pause or revision rule.
- A recurring and first-week cost sheet with visible gaps and two feasible questions or revisions.
- Two disruption cards with triggers, feasible actions, and an attendance message.
- A complete attendance packet with a stress test, revised decision, and next verification step.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Whole-day timing: includes preparation, both trips, arrival buffer, and the teen or adult handoff; the chosen route agrees with the complete attendance window.
- Route and coverage feasibility: compares complete travel segments and return access, identifies care gaps, and distinguishes agreed coverage from tentative help.
- Participation costs: separates recurring and one-time expenses, computes both affordability gaps, and excludes unawarded support from confirmed funds.
- Disruption reasoning: tests delay against the actual buffer without consuming required tasks, checks consequences for care, and supports a go, revise, or pause decision with an early message.

The idea in everyday life
A class or shift has a published start and end, but a workable day includes more. Travel, care handoffs, meal time, and access requirements can determine whether an opportunity fits. Start with the complete window. Teenagers can use school and family arrangements; adults can use training, work, or their own care responsibilities.
Attendance includes getting ready, getting there, participating, and returning.
One step at a time.
Use the sample or information you have permission to use. Keep your work as you go. You can pause between steps.
- 1
Write the fixed attendance hours and all activities immediately before and after them. Use the sample training schedule and distinguish published requirements from your own provisional estimates.
- 2
Work backward from 9 a.m. by subtracting the arrival buffer, travel, and preparation. Then work forward from noon by adding the return trip; show the arithmetic rather than compressing everything into the class block.
- 3
Add the ten-minute adult care handoff or teen family check. Label which version you used and identify any gap that would make the plan depend on another person’s unconfirmed availability.
- 4
Create a weekly view containing both training days. Reserve the entire window, mark one estimate to verify, and write a question about schedule flexibility if the total commitment cannot fit.
See how it works.
Fictional practice: Sam attends training from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesday and Thursday. Preparation takes 20 minutes, travel takes 50, and an arrival buffer adds 10. Returning takes 45 minutes. The preparation-through-return block is 7:40 a.m.–12:45 p.m., totaling 5 hours 5 minutes. In the adult version, Sam also needs a care handoff from 7:30–7:40. In the teen version, that block is a family departure check. Both versions reserve 7:30 a.m.–12:45 p.m., or 5 hours 15 minutes. Nobody must disclose a dependent’s identity or arrange actual transport.
Did you cover these?
- The full sample window is calculated
- A teen or adult handoff version is labeled
- An unverified estimate is identified
What to finish
A weekly attendance map showing fixed hours, preparation, travel, handoff, and return windows.
