Work to do
Prepare: Use modest playback, stable output and short trials. Randomize the order of the level pair without normalizing it; normalization would erase the intentional difference.
Demonstrate: The educator preserves the intentional level difference, varies order, collects choices/confidence before reveal and treats results as a bounded classroom task. No clinical claim is made.
Rehearse and teach back: Perform the linked unit’s practical on your actual classroom setup. Retain a baseline, the changed version and one independent replay/reopen check. Prepare and deliver a three-minute teach-back of the demonstration to a colleague or reviewer, or make an accessible recording for review. Include one prediction, one controlled operation and one check for understanding.
Assess this case: An educator uses six 1 dB trials as a hearing-acuity diagnosis and normalizes the level pairs first.
