Immediate Next Steps
⏱ Everything ships by Friday, August 21. The semester starts the following week and this work stops. September is rehearsal only, in 30-minute blocks. The Institute page carries the full sprint and the list of what was deliberately cut.
| Priority | Action | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ DONE | Conduct James Pearce interview | June 17, 2026 |
| ✅ DONE | Draft Institutional Check-In → "Kick-off Prep" thread | June 17, 2026 |
| ✅ DONE | Post Refined Challenge Statement → "Session 1 Challenges" thread | July 1 |
| ✅ DONE | Complete Digital Workbook | July 14 |
| ✅ DONE | Build out CPA framework rubrics in detail (cross-referenced against Google's REVEAL framework) | July 14 |
| ✅ DONE | Prepare 90-second pitch for Session 1 | July 14 |
| ✅ DONE | Deliver Spark Session to the cohort | Aug 5 |
| ✅ DONE | Conduct the Thalia Merino process interview, closing the Critical Curation evidence gap | Aug 11 |
| ✅ DONE | Rebuild the presentation script for the 10-minute Fellowship Voices slot, 11 slides, timed from measured word counts | Aug 11 |
| ✅ DONE | Write up the Merino interview and finalize the Vulnerability Map, including the trust metric | Aug 12 |
| ✅ DONE | Draft the Institute deck from the script, 11 slides | Aug 12 |
| 🔴 NOW | Problem Breakdown: Socratic audit across the six lenses, naming the strongest assumption CPA rests on and what would disprove it | Aug 17 |
| 🔴 NOW | One-page leave-behind, both sides. Content written Aug 20 and licensed CC BY 4.0, layout still to do. Rubric front, the three error types and the critique loop on the back. Print 70 to 75 for the room, because Slide 10 promises a copy in every hand | Aug 18 |
| 🔴 NOW | Decide where outside pilot data goes: second edition, an online companion Field Guide, or the AI Pedagogy Toolkit. One sentence is enough, but it has to exist before someone asks | Aug 18 |
| 🔴 NOW | Send Thalia the finished deck, and confirm the three items held back from her transcript | Aug 18 |
| 🟡 SOON | Three timed run-throughs at 10 minutes targeting 9:00, plus one timed run of the 6-minute cut so it is real and not theoretical | Aug 19–20 |
| 🟡 SOON | Tech check: fonts outlined or standard, both videos embedded, PDF backup on a drive and in email | Aug 20 |
| 🟢 LATER | One timed run-through, 20 minutes | Week of Sept 8 |
| 🟢 LATER | Print the leave-behind | Sept 15 |
| 🟢 LATER | Final tech check. If Google's format spec changed anything, adjust timing only, do not reopen the content | Sept 16 |
Not doing, and that is a decision
- A third and fourth empathy interview. Pearce and Merino are enough, and August availability is unreliable
- Bunny Quest and CT302 mapped against the 8 dimensions. Think Gemini carries the case study alone
- The AI Pedagogy Toolkit specification. That is the ask at the Institute, not a deliverable for it
- Futures Lab research and the Pomelli Phase 2 teaser. Conversations to have at the Institute, not prep to do before it
