# {{title}}

_What the school teaches and why. This page and Production decide what gets made: a course that serves no learner here, or teaches something the mission does not claim, is one to question._

## What We Teach

_A few sentences: the subject, the level, and the change it makes in a learner. If it takes a list, it is not a mission yet._

## Why It Has to Exist

_What is wrong, missing, or badly taught in the world without this school. The problem a learner has that the courses out there do not solve._

## What a Graduate Can Do

_The promise every path keeps in some form: what a learner can do at the end of the longest path that they could not at the start. Said so it could be checked._

## Not This School

_The school next door that you are deliberately not running: the bootcamp, the certificate mill, the free channel. Writing it down here is what keeps the catalog from sprawling._

Template: templates/frame.teaching.md

# {{title}}

_How the school teaches: the format, the length, how learners prove it, and the rules every course keeps. The Editor reads a course against this page._

## The Format

_What a course is made of: video, text, live sessions, exercises, projects. How long a lesson, a module, a course usually runs. What a learner does, not just watches._

## How Learners Prove It

_How a learner knows they have learned it, and how you know: quizzes, projects, a review, nothing. Which courses give a certificate, and what that means._

## Rules Every Course Keeps

_How a lesson opens, how it closes, how an exercise is set, what a course never assumes. The rules that make the courses feel like one school._

## Support

_What a learner gets beyond the material: a community, office hours, feedback, nothing. What it costs to provide and where the line is._

Template: templates/frame.market.md

# {{title}}

_Where the courses sell, what they cost, and what they are up against. The page a course's price and a track's existence get read against._

## Where It Sells

_Where the courses live and are bought: your own site, a marketplace, a company's internal system. What the platform allows and what it takes._

## What It Costs a Learner

_Per course, per path, a subscription, a cohort fee. What each costs and why, and what is free._

## What It Is Up Against

_The courses a learner would also consider, and what each does that yours does not. Name the difference, not just the course._

## How Learners Find It

_How a learner finds the school, and what turns them into one. The channel, the free thing that leads to the paid thing, the referral._

Template: templates/frame.production.md

# {{title}}

_What a course costs to make, how often one ships, and what the platform requires. The page a course's plan gets read against._

## What a Course Costs to Make

_In money and in hours, and what the school can spend in a year. The limit every outline lives inside._

## How Often One Ships

_How often a course ships or gets refreshed, and the path from outline to published. The number the Producer holds the school to._

## What the Platform Requires

_Lengths, formats, file limits, accessibility, review. The rules a course cannot break._

## What Matters Most

_The two or three things money and attention go to first, in order, and what you would give up to protect them. This settles the argument when the budget says no._

Template: templates/learner.persona.md

# {{title}}

## Who They Are

_One kind of learner, in a paragraph: who they are, why they are here, and what they are trying to become. Only give a kind its own page when they learn in a way the others do not._

## Where They Start

_What they already know and can do, and what they believe that is wrong. What a course for them may assume, and what it may not._

## What They Need

_How they learn best, how much time they have, what they will skip, what makes them quit. The limits a course for them has to respect._

## What Done Looks Like

_What they can do at the end that they could not at the start, said so it could be checked. The outcome a path for them aims at._

## Notes and Decisions

_Notes: the interviews, the survey, the real person this is drawn from. Decisions: one line each, dated, never deleted._

Template: templates/course.full.md

# {{title}}

## Who This Is For

_Which learners, what it teaches them, and why this school should be the one to teach it. A short paragraph. If this changes a lot, it is a different course._

### Taking for Granted

_What you are assuming about the learner arriving here: what they know, what they have taken, what they believe. Write it down so a guess does not become a lesson that loses them._

## Still to Decide

_What you do not know yet. Kept near the top so nothing gets buried; when something is settled it becomes an outcome below, or a decision._

## What They Will Be Able to Do

_At the end, as numbered statements someone could check. If it is not written here, the course is not promising it. Every module below serves at least one._

1. <!-- the first thing a learner can do afterward -->

## The Modules

_The outline: modules in order, and the lessons in each, one line per lesson with the outcome it serves. Not the material; the shape of it. Put the syllabus in Files and link it._

### Module

_What it covers, and which outcomes it serves._

## How They Prove It

_How a learner shows each outcome, and how the school checks: the project, the quiz, the review. Held up against How We Teach._

## Format and Length

_What the course is made of and how long it takes, against The Format on the How We Teach page. `duration` at the top is the number; this is the shape._

## Not This Course

_What this course deliberately does not teach, and which course does. This is the section that keeps a catalog in shape; a course without it grows into the one next to it._

## Before and After

_Courses a learner has to finish first, and courses this one leads to. Link them rather than naming them._

## Notes and Decisions

_Notes: the references, the reviewer, the platform's notes. Decisions: one line each, dated, never deleted._

## Who This Is For

_Which learners, and what it teaches them, in a short paragraph. Grow it into the full page once it is in production._

## What They Will Be Able to Do

_At the end, numbered._

1. <!-- the first thing a learner can do afterward -->

## Still to Decide

_What you do not know yet._

## The Modules

_The modules in order, one line each, with the outcomes each serves._

## Not This Course

_What this course does not teach, and which course does. Write this first, not last._

Template: templates/path.full.md

# {{title}}

## Who It Is For and Where It Goes

_The learner it is for (linked in `for` at the top) and what they can do at the end. A short paragraph._

## Still to Decide

_A course that does not exist yet, a gap between two that do. Kept near the top so it does not get buried._

## The Path

_The courses in order, each a link with one line on why it is here and what it hands to the next. The order is the point; a path you could shuffle is a list, not a path._

## What They Leave With

_What a learner can do at the end of the whole path, matched to What Done Looks Like on their page. If it is not written here, the path is not promising it._

## Not This Path

_What this path does not cover, and which path does. Where a learner goes next._

## Notes and Decisions

_Notes: completion numbers, the learner who tested it, the reminder. Decisions: one line each, dated, never deleted._
