Practical articles, rewritten
These pieces began as thin templates. They are now specific to Bali volunteer teaching, readiness, teams, and school design. For longer essays, use the insights series. Both sets refuse invented prices, 2026 public departures, and fake school names.
How these differ from insights
Articles are practice notes: shorter, task-shaped, meant to be opened in a workshop. Insights are arguments you send to a skeptical parent or a faculty meeting. Read an article when you are making a file. Read an insight when you are making a decision. Both sets were rewritten so they are no longer interchangeable boilerplate.
Workshop printing order
Print how-to-start, team-roles, building-a-project-brief, planning-a-workshop. Leave the rest digital. Too much paper in a workshop becomes a bag people forget. The articles index is a cabinet. Take four folders, not the cabinet.
Assigning articles as homework
Assign one article, not the index. “Read team-roles and bring a card” is homework. “Read articles” is a way to guarantee nobody reads. The index is for the assigner. The assigner should have read more than the student. If they have not, they should not assign.
Collect a three-line response: one thing they will do, one thing they refuse, one question. Grade the refusal. Refusals show whether ethics landed. Enthusiasm is cheap in homework.
Do not assign insights and articles on the same night. They overlap on purpose as different lengths, not as double homework. Pick a length for the hour you have.
