1 - Introduction ~5 mins
Today you finish the module with a one-page findings note and a two-minute dashboard briefing to a group of four.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Write a findings note with limits and a recommendation
- Include a view-only dashboard link
- Present for two minutes and answer one question
Jot four spine sentences in one minute: main finding, sample size, one limit, one recommendation. Keep them for {{code:10_findings}}.
2 - Key Concepts ~5 mins
Four ideas shape your note and briefing.
| Concept | Why it matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Findings note: a one-page write-up of what the survey shows | Busy readers need the point without opening every sheet | Bus is the most common way TY students get to school |
| Certainty statement: who answered, who did not, and what you cannot claim | Honest limits stop you overselling a small sample | Only TY classmates answered; juniors were not surveyed |
| Actionable recommendation: one change aimed at a named person who can act | Findings without a next step rarely change anything | Ask the student council to trial covered cycle parking |
| Two-minute briefing: question, one finding, one chart, recommendation | Short keeps every voice in the group heard | How do TY students get to school? Bus is most common. Show the bar chart. Trial covered cycle parking near the main gate. |
Sample note (24 TY getting-to-school answers). Shows: bus most common; walkers rate journeys higher. Sure: one year group; times self-reported. Recommendation: student council trials covered cycle parking for one term. Dashboard link: [view-only link].
Your note links to the dashboard view-only, so readers can see it but cannot change your formulas. The next step gets the link.
3 - Get Your View-only Link First ~5 mins
Before you write, copy a view-only link to {{code:02_survey_analysis}}. You will paste it into your findings note. View-only means readers can see charts but cannot change formulas.
If you cannot see {{code:Digital_Spreadsheets}} or {{code:02_survey_analysis}}, tell your teacher before you continue.
4 - Common Issues ~3 mins
Common Issues
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| I have no view-only link yet | Go back to the step before and follow the Share steps for your suite. |
| My note is longer than one page | Cut to two or three findings, one limits paragraph, and one recommendation |
| I am not sure who the recommendation is for | Name the person who could act: principal, student council, PE department, or parents' association |
| I cannot find {{code:Digital_Spreadsheets}} or {{code:02_survey_analysis}} | Tell your teacher before writing. Do not invent a new folder or workbook name |
