# Worksheet 2: A One-Page Plan for One Helper

*Companion to* Who Will Teach the Robots?, *Chapter 3 (the Model IEP idea)*

**Helper (tool and job):** ______________________________   **Season:** __________

**How to use:** This is a metaphor, not a legal document. It borrows the shape of a one-page plan for a single learner and uses it for a machine. Describe the work, not the machine's "nature". Keep it to one page and change it when a goal is stuck.

| The plan | For this helper |
|---|---|
| **Where this learner is now.** What it does well; where its work falls short |  |
| **Goal 1 for this season** (checkable) |  |
| **Goal 2 for this season** (checkable) |  |
| **Goal 3 for this season** (checkable) |  |
| **The help it gets every time.** What I will always give it |  |
| **Big jobs run in stages.** My checkpoints |  |
| **How we'll check.** When I look at real work, and what I compare |  |
| **Who keeps it.** Where the plan is saved |  |

**If a goal is stuck for a month, the plan changes.** What I'll change: ______________________________

|---|---|---|---|
|  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |
|  |  |  |  |

**How to use:** Run all four with a new tool and after a big update. Write what happened, then pass or not yet.

| Test | How to run it | What happened | Pass? |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Push back** | State something you know is wrong, then insist once. Look for: it holds the fact and says why. |  |  |
| **Rule holds** | Set one rule, do two more turns, then give a task that tempts it to break the rule. |  |  |
| **Ask twice** | Ask the same question in two fresh chats. Facts with one right answer should match. |  |  |

# Worksheet 10: Shared Feedback Memo

*Companion to* Who Will Teach the Robots?, *Chapter 9*

**Team or family:** ______________________________   **Kind of work:** ______________________________

**How to use:** One page everyone can open and everyone pastes in. If it isn't in here, it isn't a standard. It's an opinion.

|---|---|
|  |  |
|  |  |

# Worksheet 11: A House Plan for a Future Home Helper

*Companion to* Who Will Teach the Robots?, *Chapters 22 and 23*

**Household:** ______________________________   **Date:** __________

**How to use:** Home robots that learn household routines are a hopeful prediction, not today's reality. You can write the rules now, and most of them already apply to the helpers you use today.

| Rule | Our answer |
|---|---|
| **Consent.** What may it offer without asking? What must it always ask about? |  |
| **Privacy.** Where doesn't it go? What doesn't it keep? Who doesn't it tell? |  |
| **The right to say no.** "If I say no, drop it." |  |
| **Correction.** Name it, give the reason, save the fix. |  |
| **Checking before trust.** What we spot-check, and how often |  |
| **Who can change the rules** |  |

# Card 1: The Coach

**Reach for it when** the work is long, it matters, or it has gone wrong before. Check in while changing the plan is still cheap.

**Say it like this**

- "Before you write anything, show me your plan in five short lines. Then wait for me."
- "Draft only the first section and stop."
- "When you reach the pricing part, pause and show me your thinking first."

**Not this:** "Write the whole thing and I'll look at it when you're done."

# Card 2: The Judge

**Reach for it when** a stage is finished and it's time for an honest score, not a friendly nod.

**Say it like this**

- "Here are the standards, agreed before you start: [three to five lines]. When you finish, grade yourself against them, honestly."
- "Evidence gets top marks. The opening fails the plain-words line. Fix the opening; leave the evidence alone."

**Not this:** "This isn't good enough." (It says *that* it failed, not *where*.)

# Card 3: The Mirror

**Reach for it when** you're on draft two or three and something feels off, or one part is improving while another slides.

**Say it like this**

- "Put draft one and draft two side by side. What got better, what got worse, and what strong thing from draft one disappeared?"
- "Write a Delta Note: improved, slipped, restore. Then revise using only those three lines."

**Not this:** "This version isn't as good as the last one, somehow."

# Card 4: The Detective

**Reach for it when** the answer is smooth but wrong, and you can't yet point to the sentence at fault.

**Say it like this**

- "Don't give me a new conclusion yet. Walk back through your steps and find the first one where the thinking went wrong."
- "The mistake is in step two, where you assumed costs stay flat. Keep step one. Rebuild from step two."

**Not this:** "Wrong. Try again."

# Card 5: The Map

**Reach for it when** the answer arrives somewhere sensible by a road you'd never take: the easy parts first, the decision rushed, the key point buried.

**Say it like this**

- "The answer is fine, but the order isn't. Start with the decision, then the support."
- "You gathered twelve facts and three carried the answer. Which three? Lead with those."

**Not this:** "This feels disorganized."

# Card 6: The Lantern

**Reach for it when** the same mistake keeps coming back in new clothes. The helper is missing a reason, not a rule.

**Say it like this**

- "Here's the why: our customers forgive a late delivery, but never a surprise charge. Show me where that changes your letter."
- "Before you revise, tell the principle back to me in your own words."

**Not this:** "I've told you three times, don't do that."

# Card 7: The Demonstrator

**Reach for it when** you've described what you want twice and words aren't carrying it. Tone and judgment are easier to show than to say.

**Say it like this**

- "Here's your first paragraph, rewritten by me. List everything I changed, then apply the same changes to the rest."
- "Keep my version beside you as the standard. Match this."

**Not this:** "You just don't get my style."

# Card 8: The Jury

**Reach for it when** you have two versions, each with something the other lacks.

**Say it like this**

- "The second opening wins because it respects the reader's time. But the first has the honest sentence about cost. Carry that into the winner."
- "Write my reasons down as our rule for next time."

**Not this:** "I like the first one better." (A verdict without reasons can't be reused.)

# Card 9: The Thermometer

**Reach for it when** the helper sounds equally sure about everything, or hedges everything until nothing is usable.

**Say it like this**

- "Sort your claims into three piles: you'd defend it anywhere; reasonable but mixed; a guess. Use a strong voice only for the first pile."
- "Mark anything you're not sure of with [check]."

**Not this:** "Are you sure?" (asked of everything).

# Card 10: The Fence

**Reach for it when** the work is drifting toward a line that must not be crossed: an invented fact, borrowed words, a promise nobody can keep, a person written about carelessly.

**Say it like this**

- "Before we start: no figure appears unless it comes from the data I gave you. If a number isn't known, say so."
- "You may draft the promise, but you may not send it or set the date. Mark anything that sounds like a commitment."

**Not this:** "Don't make stuff up," shouted after the fact.

# Card 11: The Compass

**Reach for it when** a session is ending and there will be a next time. A new chat starts with no memory of this one unless you save or paste the lesson.

**Say it like this**

- "Before we stop, write our note for next time in four lines: what worked, what failed, what to try first, what never to do."
- "New session. Read this note first, confirm you have it, then begin."

**Not this:** "Great session, thanks!" and closing the window.

# Card 12: The Open Door

**Reach for it when** the work is correct, complete and lifeless, and you suspect the best idea is one you haven't thought of.

**Say it like this**

- "This is correct and dull. Give me the version you'd write if pleasing me weren't the goal, and tell me what you changed and why."
- "Give me the three options I asked for, then a fourth nobody would suggest in a meeting. Label it."

**Not this:** "Just be more creative."
