Turn our confusing auditorium turnover procedure into a 15-minute training that new hires can follow on day one.
Client scenario
Welcome to the training team. Marquee Six Cinemas (fictional) is a 6-screen movie theater. It's hiring 20 seasonal staff for the busy season, and most have never worked in a theater. The training manager has a problem: the staff manual's page on cleaning an auditorium between showings is so confusing that new hires skip steps, and turnovers run late.
Client: The Training Manager (the teacher in role).
New hires can't follow the auditorium turnover procedure as written. They need a short training they can follow on day one.

Training Project Lead
Instructional Designer
Job Aid Designer

Evaluation & Quality Lead
The twist: The training manager hands over the Procedure Change (H3): there is a new safety step (gloves on, and a scan for sharp objects that are never picked up by hand), and the checklist is reordered (the lost-item check now comes before the trash pickup). The training is still tomorrow.
Standards mapped
Mapped means the framework is verified and the teacher confirms the evidence. It isn't a claim that a project meets a standard.

Safety, devices and privacy
Paper practice only. The practice activity uses index cards and classroom chairs as "seats". No real cleaning, trash, chemicals or equipment, and no sharp objects even as props: a card that says "broken glass" stands in for it.
No visits. Students don't visit a real theater or contact real staff.
School devices only. No phones, not even as timers or props, and no personal accounts.
No photos or recordings of students. Filming the rehearsal is optional and only with consent, on a school device, with no faces, and deleted after the review. No student names or personal information on any deliverable. Sign work "Team [#]".
Scores stay anonymous. Check-for-understanding scores are collected as "New hire A, B, C…", never with names.
Follow the school's usual classroom rules.
