These original formative probes sample taught components; they are not moderated, normed, diagnostic or whole-achievement instruments. Do not deliver this index, rubric, keys or combined sources to learners. The ordinary chooser is separate. Two assigned cases and four unused rechecks give twelve individual source/task/own-blank stages, not twelve complete tests or eight reserves.
| Case | Status | First selected page | Later selected page | Main job |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E | Assigned Day 5 | E first | E later | prediction from an earlier record, review against next check |
| F | Assigned Day 10 | F first | F later | complete criterion decision, later new-cohort/new-reader revision |
| RE1 | Unused, reserved | RE1 first | RE1 later | prediction and contrasting later relative heights |
| RE2 | Unused, reserved | RE2 first | RE2 later | justified uncertainty/tie and separate survival distinction |
| RF1 | Unused, reserved | RF1 first | RF1 later | both qualify first; later only one meets both minima |
| RF2 | Unused, reserved | RF2 first | RF2 later | a later reader’s priority changes the conditional choice |
Exact two-stage delivery
- Choose one unused case appropriate to the teaching need. For Day 5 use E; for Day 10 use F. Do not teach or rehearse reserved values. Ensure prior access to the ordinary skills, not the fresh answer. If a case has already been seen, mark it previously exposed; do not relabel it unused.
- Deliver only its complete first source, exact questions and its own neutral blank, with full portable notices. No other first case, later case, staff model or keyed graphic. This rule applies to future Markdown/text, SVG/PDF, previews, filenames, archive contents and page links. A “staff only” label on a combined first/later learner PDF is not separation.
- Explain the invented-case status and access choices. In the suggested 30-minute slot, allow 3 minutes orientation, 3 exact briefing, 10 first response, 2 capture, 8 later, 4 close. Adapt/split time for the learner; those timings are original plans. Read directions verbatim, offer calculator/large text/AAC/sign/exact-word scribe, and preserve any content hints separately.
- Capture the individual first response before showing the later source. For E/RE the Day 6 outcome remains genuinely undisclosed until capture. Their first Day 0/3 records are supplied prior observations within the fiction. For F/RF the first cohort’s complete Day 8 data are already disclosed; the later page introduces a distinct new cohort and reader. Do not call the disclosed first result a prediction-before-outcome experiment.
- Deliver only the selected later page and own neutral blank. It repeats the full first contract so it is independently readable after capture. Capture later reasoning and the actual documented keep/edit; do not overwrite the first answer. Keys/models remain educator-only even after a stage is delivered unless deliberately used as a separate teaching model afterward.
- Use criteria and full answers/next teaching by component. Record first reasoning, later review, access support, content hint, actual action and unelicited components separately. Never manufacture a learner response to complete a rubric.
What these checks do not elicit
No stage conducts a habitat experiment or asks a learner to use equipment. A paper proposal can sample variable/risk/permission reasoning, but cannot establish actual I02 conduct, I03 measurement, fieldwork permissions, growth/survival outcomes or controlled cause. The checks do not elicit real-source H01 collaboration research, actual community consultation/decision or impact, professional plant care, all U01 contexts or all national Science strands. F/RF applies knowledge to a fictional committee only. Authentic H01/H02 reasoning has separate ordinary Day 6/8 source-based tasks and still remains partial.
