Signature practices¶
The curriculum is in the source course; this section names the practices and links to the lessons that teach them.
- The rights-standard measurement — diagnose against rights established by UDHR and CRPD, not against best-practices benchmarks; the two frames produce different verdicts on the same situation. See Rights frame, Name-only accommodation; source: lesson
01-module-1-what-accommodation-is-supposed-to-do.md. - The three-layer diagnostic — locates the gap as living in systems, culture, or leadership development; layer mismatch is one of the most common ways accommodation work fails. See Three-layer diagnostic, Layer mismatch; source: lessons
04–06(module 2). - The three-phase roadmap — Diagnostic → Design → Implementation — fixed-order sequence; compression of Design under timeline pressure is the most common cause of accommodation work that fails to close the gap. Implementation is measured by rights delivery, not by accommodation volume. See Three-phase roadmap, Rights delivery; source: lesson
08-module-3-three-phase-roadmap.md.
