Why we write down what worked, what failed, and what the model got wrong.
Curriculum work is full of decisions that vanish the moment a unit ships. Why that sequence? Why that text? Why did we cut the second assessment? Six months later, nobody remembers.
Practice field notes fix that. A few lines after each planning session: what we tried, what the AI suggested, what we kept, and why. It takes five minutes.
The entries compound. Patterns appear: prompts that consistently help, tasks the model always misjudges, places where our own assumptions keep slipping. The field notes become a quiet record of professional judgment.
These field notes are our version of that habit, shared in the open. Take what is useful.
