Improv comedy meets formative assessment in a screenless-first workshop for schools where check-ins are missing or inconsistent.
This is a build-and-practice session. Teachers work on their own classroom material and leave with artifacts they can use, not a binder of ideas to revisit someday.
A good turnkey kit should help you say no as clearly as it helps you say yes.
The workshop begins with the experience of being taught into the void, studies three comedy cases, and then puts teachers on their feet to practice four assessment moves.
Every package is built from version-controlled source and checked for missing files, placeholder text, print overflow, and mismatched front/back card layouts before the ZIP is created.
Scripted guide in print PDF, editable Markdown, and reflowable accessible HTML.
Editable PowerPoint with notes on every slide, plus accessible slide text and notes.
Self-assessment, comedy protocol, playbook, commitment card, station cards, facilitator sheet, Bingo, screenless analysis pack, and survey.
Full-page front/back cards with participant directions and facilitator-quality reference material.
Two read-aloud comedy cases and one live improv round; official clips are optional, never required.
One cohort of up to 25 teachers, starting when the cohort launches.
The first run asks for real preparation. The rerun is faster because the facilitator already knows the material and can reuse the durable pieces.
Print and assemble seat packets, rehearse the screenless comedy-analysis lab, learn the station debriefs, and stage four station areas. Optional clips add about 20–30 minutes.
Recheck the room, roster, print counts, and the guide's timing notes. A new site may add coordination time.
This excerpt comes directly from Handout 5, Station 1 Activity Card in the package.
Each teacher writes an exit-ticket question they actually use. The next person adds a follow-up that builds on a likely student response. A third person writes how the teacher will use both responses to adjust tomorrow's lesson.
The thread: schedule the teacher's response into the design—an opener, a warm-up, or a conference list. A ticket you do not act on is just a goodbye wave with data on it.
The access clock starts when your cohort launches, not when you buy. One cohort of up to 25 teachers gets daily coaching tied to the workshop goal. The kit purchase itself is one-time and does not auto-renew.
