What a ‘day’ looks like

Open with a 5‑minute standup: each student says their name, their role, and what they will complete today. Then a 20‑minute work block. Then a 5‑minute checkpoint: manager reviews progress with each worker. Then a second 15‑minute work block. Then a 5‑minute closing huddle: celebrate completions and name blockers.

Why it matters: Structure prevents drift. Without a standup, students wander. Without a checkpoint, work stalls. A teacher who skipped the closing huddle found that students didn’t know what counted as ‘done’; after adding the huddle, completion rates doubled.

Example: During closing huddle, a student says ‘I finished three tickets.’ The class claps. Another says ‘I’m stuck on ticket #7 because I need a calculator.’ The manager assigns help for tomorrow. That’s the feedback loop.
