Back to EpisodesSUMMER SERIES EP 7 — Two-Hour Deadlines?
Description
We tackle a question from an instructional coach who wants to know how to handle a complex problem when the deadline is only two hours away. We share a minimalist way to respond that protects your time, clarifies expectations, and challenges “emergency” thinking in schools.
• defining the minimum viable product for the deadline
• agreeing on the scope in writing to avoid moving goalposts
• naming why two-hour deadlines are unrealistic in school settings
• asking context questions to test whether it’s a true emergency
• requesting coverage or support when the work must happen fast
Now go and enjoy the rest of your break.
