Instructor toolkit.
The operating manual for a certified guide running this pack. The student- and parent-facing artifacts explain what the method is; this section explains how to run it — the pacing, the certification bar, the demonstration moment, and the dependency graph behind every hold-vs-advance call.
All four pages are now drafted end to end, cloned from the approved Biology toolkit and retuned for astronomy and the night sky. They’re ready for Leslie’s review — the cohort pacing, the certification bar, the demonstration script, and the concept dependency graph.
Running the two-day rhythm across a cohort: when to hold, when to advance, split-cohort tracks, and a full-year calendar with re-attempt slack.
The two competence bars, the certification syllabus, and the four-pillar rubric calibration that makes a mastery verdict reliable across guides.
All three demonstrations scripted: the setup, the question ladder, reading Mastery vs. Proficient live, and delivering a "not yet" that keeps the re-attempt likely.
The directed graph of the eight units, prerequisite gating, gap-cascade diagnosis, and using it to plan targeted re-attempts instead of whole-unit re-teaches.
