A youth services organization can demonstrate an activity planning workflow without including youth participation or case files. Census includes nonresidential life skills and positive social development services in this industry. An original evaluation can assess whether a model follows the activity’s written instructions. U.S. Census Child and Youth Services profile

Write a practice activity about organizing generic supplies. Provide two facilitator cards, one with a changed objective and one with an unclear instruction. Ask the model to identify which materials support each step and what instruction needs clarification. Have an adult reviewer score the source and rationale.

Use adult authors or performers. Exclude minors, attendance, placement details, case notes and actual program participant work. Confirm rights for the written and filmed material.

Describe an original youth program planning example

Original Fiund exercise

A facilitator objective change alters the required materials but not an ambiguous instruction's meaning

Adult authors create a generic supply-organizing exercise for an invented program. No youth, attendance, case file, actual participant work or recording of minors is included.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
YL1Facilitator card V1Objective O1: sort blank cards by shape. Materials list circles and squares; original task text supplied.
YL2Approved V2Replaces O1 with O2: order three labeled boxes by size. Materials list small, medium and large boxes; shape cards no longer required for O2.
YL3Unclear stepV2 step says 'put that one there' without identifying a box or destination. No diagram or clarification supplied.

Question for the model

Which materials support the approved current objective, and what instruction needs clarification before the activity can be followed?

Show the reference answer and checks

YL2's approved O2 uses the three size-labeled boxes, replacing YL1's shape-sorting objective and its circle/square materials. YL3 leaves both the referenced box and destination ambiguous, so a facilitator needs to clarify that step rather than invent the intended placement. Report the objective-linked material change and exact instruction gap separately. The exercise evaluates planning documents, not a child's learning, behavior or service outcome.

  • Combining obsolete materials with a revised objective without a source basis.
  • Resolving an unclear pronoun or destination by guessing what the facilitator meant.

Fields to preserve

Facilitator card and objective
Defines the lesson version.
Material-to-step relationship
Supports the task.
Unclear reference and clarification state
Makes missing instructions actionable.

Test another case

Add a diagram naming the box but not its destination. Require the remaining location ambiguity to stay explicit.

Use original adult-authored materials and consenting adult performers only. Exclude minors, attendance and placement details; confirm written and filmed reuse rights separately.
