Role workflow · Floor-level · assigned room only
Educator
On the floor with children. The system stays out of the way until it's needed — then it's two taps, in context, never off-floor.
Design principleCapture in seconds. Document never twice.
On sign-in
What appears first.
The opening surface is shaped to what this role actually does — never a feed of everything happening in the centre.

- 03Open loopsUnfinished items from yesterday's handover, surfaced gently — not as a backlog.
- 04One next actionThe single most useful thing to do right now (e.g. lunch handover in 8 min).

Operational scope
What this role owns. What it doesn't.
Action priorities
- 01Children, then capture. Never the reverse.
- 02Quick observations rather than long ones at the end of day.
- 03Witness, don't write — let the system handle the form.
- 04Two-tap incidents, calm language, no blame framing.
