Narrative:
I was called in to assist a very busy combined sector. Instead of allowing me to split a sector; I was asked to 'D-side' to aid in training. Air carrier X; who had been xferred to 9600 meters; was climbed to 10600 meters. I wrote the new altitude but failed to notice that it was different from the altitude coordination earlier. I had been on the sector for 1 min when the errant clearance was delivered so I was unaware that a deviation was developing.

Title: ZAN RADAR ASSOCIATE CTLR WROTE INCORRECT ALT ON STRIP; DIFFERING FROM THE ALT COORD WITH ADJACENT FACILITY.
Narrative: I WAS CALLED IN TO ASSIST A VERY BUSY COMBINED SECTOR. INSTEAD OF ALLOWING ME TO SPLIT A SECTOR; I WAS ASKED TO 'D-SIDE' TO AID IN TRAINING. ACR X; WHO HAD BEEN XFERRED TO 9600 METERS; WAS CLBED TO 10600 METERS. I WROTE THE NEW ALT BUT FAILED TO NOTICE THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE ALT COORD EARLIER. I HAD BEEN ON THE SECTOR FOR 1 MIN WHEN THE ERRANT CLRNC WAS DELIVERED SO I WAS UNAWARE THAT A DEV WAS DEVELOPING.
