Learner choices

Target/codes: Put optional large-pad actions in safe order and name a stop condition; AC9TDEFP01, plan evidence.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. State the school check and a child's right to avoid touch or sound. No one needs to perform for the class.
  2. Notice source · 4 min. Read four safe pad steps: adult checks, choose broad pad, one approved action, ask and record. No result is marked.
  3. Model · 5 min. On a blank page, plan a large pad and gentle action. Name who would handle it and a comfortable stop signal. A fully silent plan can show the cue location by pointing.
  4. Child design talk · 7 min. Child sequences steps, selects child action/adult-directed action/plan-only, and tells what a willing user would actually be asked. If approval, comfort, hygiene or access fails, stop and keep NOT TRIED.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record order, proposed physical handler, stop condition and question. If a child reports “they liked it” from a drawing, separate that prediction from missing user feedback.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Save the plan; any unperformed cue stays NOT TRIED.
