Week 5 Instructor Cheat Sheet

A two-page printable reference card for the Course 5 Supervisor Orientation deck. Covers both delivery modes: the 30-min briefing and the extended 2-hr joint session with builders. Designed to sit next to the deck so you never have to scrub back through 28 slides for the AI Review Drill or the “Yes” workshop brief.

Print: Ctrl+P → Layout Portrait, Margins Default, Background graphics on. Two US-Letter pages. Site chrome and this preview note are hidden in print.

Use: page 1 covers both modes — the 30-min briefing block [B] first, then the extended joint session block [J]. Skip the [J] rows when you’re running the briefing only. Page 2 is the anchor phrases, the recovery cues for senior-leader hijacks and policy drift, and the commitments you must walk out with from either mode.

Why We’re Here 0:00–0:05 [Briefing] opener · no demo
  1. Eye contact, no tools. Anchor the “5–10-year apprentice problem” on the centerpiece slide.
  2. Anchor (plant now, repeat at close): “Permission culture — or you will lose the next generation to the units that grant it.”
Outcome · framing Stakes named Supervisors hear this is a leadership problem, not a tool problem.
B210 min
Permission Culture 0:05–0:15 [Briefing] core message
  1. The Permission Question (3 min, read verbatim): “Show of hands — in the last month, how many of you have told a Marine no when they wanted to use AI for a routine task? How many did not know they were doing it? Both are normal. Today is about making the call deliberately.”
  2. Walk the Delegation Equation for leaders: audience · done · risk · verification rule.
Outcome · vocabulary Permission decision named The Yes / No becomes a decision they own — not a default they drift into.
B310 min
Apprentice Problem + AI Review Drill 0:15–0:25 [Briefing] decision exercise
  1. Drop the AI-drafted memo in chat at the M3 cue (3 hidden hallucinations pre-staged).
  2. Brief (read verbatim): “You have an AI-drafted memo from one of your Marines. It looks polished. Three of the facts in it are wrong — confidently, fluently wrong. You have three minutes. Find them.”
  3. Two minutes show-of-hands on what they caught.
  4. Reveal the planted three: a fabricated date, a fabricated name, a re-stated regulation that does not exist.
Outcome · verification habit Drill experienced first-hand Supervisors feel the verification rule from inside — the drill is the tool they hand to their Marines.
B45 min
3×3 Quick-Ref & Close 0:25–0:30 [Briefing] commitment
  1. Hand each supervisor a printed copy of this cheat sheet and the 3×3 quick-ref slide.
  2. Commitment close (read verbatim): “Before you leave: one experiment you will run with one Marine in the next 14 days. Verbalise it now. We will follow up.”
  3. Force a written deliverable: if the room nods politely without committing, each supervisor types their experiment in chat before logging off. No type, no exit.
  4. Repeat the anchor: “Permission culture — or you will lose the next generation to the units that grant it.”
Outcome · commitments One experiment per supervisor Each supervisor leaves with a named Marine, a named task, and a 14-day clock running.
Joint session extension · +90 min
J145 min
Live Tool Review w/ Builders +0:30–1:15 [Joint] you moderate, builder drives
  1. Brief (read verbatim): “Each builder — five minutes. Show your tool. Tell me one thing AI did well, one thing it got wrong. Supervisor: ask one hard question. We are not approving tools today; we are calibrating taste.”
  2. Builders drive their own screens. Supervisor sits beside them. You moderate — do not narrate the tool.
  3. Five-minute timer per builder; rotate cleanly.
Outcome · calibration Taste shared between builder & supervisor Supervisor sees what their Marine actually shipped; the “Yes” criteria become specific.
J230 min
“Yes” Criteria Workshop +1:15–1:45 [Joint] paired
  1. Brief (read verbatim): “Pairs — supervisor and builder. Write three rules that earn a Yes from this supervisor for AI use, and two that earn a No. Specific. No platitudes. Bring back to the room.”
  2. Pairs work in breakouts (or side-by-side). Each pair returns with a written rule the supervisor will apply this quarter.
  3. Read three rules aloud at the room return; tag any platitudes for re-write.
Deliverable · written Yes / No rules per supervisor Three Yes + two No rules — published to the supervisor’s section library by EOW.
J315 min
Wrap & Commitments +1:45–2:00 [Joint] sign-off
  1. Each pair states their experiment and their Yes / No rules to the room.
  2. Apprentice pipeline ask: “Name one junior on your team who should attend Course 2 (Builder Orientation) next cycle.” Capture in chat.
  3. Repeat the anchor.
Outcome · pipeline Names captured for next cycle One Course-2 candidate per supervisor; the apprentice pipeline visibly populated.

Pre-flight & hand-off cuesDone 24 h before; verified at T-15 min · deck-led, minimal switching

  • Pick the mode. Confirm with the senior leader: 30-min briefing only, or extended 2-hr joint with their builders? Adjust calendar invites accordingly.
  • Tabs & PDFs. Deck (Week 5), this cheat sheet, the Executive Brief PDF, the RAI Compliance Brief, the Tools page.
  • If joint session: coordinate that each supervisor’s builders bring one deployed tool to demo (5 min each). Pre-share the URL list.
  • Drill artefact. Have the AI-drafted memo (3 hidden hallucinations) loaded and ready to drop in chat at the [B3] cue.
  • Speaker notes. Press N to enable. Notes are tagged [BRIEFING] and [JOINT] — follow the right track for the chosen mode.
  • Briefing · opener. No tool demos. Eye contact, anchor the “5–10-year apprentice problem” on the centerpiece slide.
  • Briefing · close. Hand each supervisor a printed copy of this cheat sheet and the 3×3 quick-ref slide. Get verbal commitment to one experiment.
  • Joint · tool review. Builders drive their own screens. Supervisor sits beside them. You moderate — do not narrate the tool.
  • Joint · “Yes” workshop. Pairs work in breakouts (or side-by-side). Each pair returns with a written rule the supervisor will apply this quarter.

Anchor phrasesPlant in the opener; cite when you need them

  • 1. “Permission culture — or you will lose the next generation to the units that grant it.” Open with it; repeat at the close in both modes.
  • 2. The supervision rule. A capable assistant whose work you check is not cheating — it is supervision. The cheating is shipping unverified output.
  • 3. The Delegation Equation, for leaders. Audience · done · risk · verification rule. If you can name them, you can grant the Yes.
  • 4. The drill is the verification habit. RAI compliance is the rule; the AI Review Drill is the muscle.
  • 5. Calibrate taste, don’t approve tools. Joint mode is about taste, not tool sign-off. The artefact is the “Yes” criteria, not an approved list.
  • 6. Specific, no platitudes. Yes/No rules must name what gets a Yes. “Use it responsibly” doesn’t count.
  • 7. Protect the apprentice pipeline. Name one junior for next-cycle Course 2 before you leave the room.

Recovery & pacing cuesWhen the room slips, this is the order of operations

  • Supervisor objects: “This is just cheating.” Re-anchor on the Delegation Equation. “A capable assistant whose work you check is not cheating — it is supervision. The cheating is shipping unverified output. Today is about the verification rule.”
  • Senior leader hijacks the room with policy questions. Park them: “Great question — logging it for the program lead.” Stand up the parking lot in chat. Protect the drill and the commitment close.
  • Builders arrive without tools to demo (joint mode). Pivot to the Frontier Map — supervisor and builder fill it together. The Yes-criteria workshop still works without a live tool.
  • Room nods politely; no commitments at the close. Force a written deliverable: each supervisor types their one experiment in chat before they leave the call. No type, no exit.
  • Compliance worry derails the drill. Hand them the RAI Compliance Brief PDF. Tell them this drill is compliance — it is the verification habit RAI requires.
  • Pacing valve (briefing). If you fall behind, compress the Permission Question to a single hand-raise. Never cut the drill or the commitment close.

Commitments to issue before logoffBoth modes — do not let the room exit without these

  • One experiment in 14 days with one Marine. Defined verification rule. Report back to the program lead with what they learned.
  • Read the Executive Brief PDF before the next staff meeting; bring one slide to share.
  • Joint mode only: publish the “Yes” criteria written with the builder to the section’s shared library by EOW.
  • Protect the apprentice pipeline. Name one junior on the team who should attend Course 2 (Builder Orientation) next cycle. Name them to the program lead.
