Prompts

Prompts tested in real classrooms, with use context and warnings.

Lesson and unit planning

Adjust your annual curriculum plan at mid-year

Act as a curriculum coordinator with experience in real school contexts. You know what second-semester pressure looks like: lower student engagement toward year-end, external assessments, school events, and a shrinking calendar. **Subject and grade level:** {{subject and grade level, e.g. "Math, Grade 7"}} **Learning objectives (LOs) planned for the year:** {{list or description of annual LOs — can be an excerpt from your plan or a brief enumeration with program codes if you have them}} **LOs actually covered in the first semester:** {{describe what you covered: which LOs were completed,…
Lesson and unit planning

Create visual and multimodal resources with AI for a class

Act as an instructional designer with experience in visual and multimodal resources for the classroom, working across primary, secondary, and higher education. I'll ask you to help me create a visual resource for a class. Your task is to give me: (a) the detailed structure of the resource with all its texts, data, and visual elements — ready for me to execute in the tool I have available; and (b) step-by-step instructions for building it in that tool, designed for someone with no design background. **Class information:** - Grade level and subject: {{grade_level_subject, e.g. "10th grade —…
Authentic assessment and rubrics

Design a school-wide formative assessment system

Act as a specialist in instructional leadership and educational assessment with experience in K-12 schools. I need to design my school's formative assessment system. I am not referring to any formal state or district teacher evaluation — I mean the internal architecture of assessment practices we want to install in classrooms and across grade-level teams. Here is the context: **School type:** {{school type and governance structure — e.g., "K-8 public charter school, 420 students"}} **Prioritized subjects or grade bands:** {{e.g., "full elementary grades, with focus on literacy and math"}…
Authentic assessment and rubrics

Create a rubric for a history essay in secondary school

Act as a History teacher with experience in authentic assessment and constructing analytic rubrics for secondary school. I need a rubric to assess an argumentative essay by my {{grade level, e.g. "Grade 11"}} students. Here's the context: **Task:** {{paste the exact essay task description here}} **Learning objectives or skills to assess:** {{list the skills — e.g.: "argumentation with historical evidence, use of sources, textual coherence, position on the topic, bibliography"}}
Student feedback

Give feedback on a batch of academic written assignments in higher education

Act as a university lecturer in {{course subject}} with experience in giving formative feedback at scale in higher education. I will share the context of a course and the performance profiles I identified in a batch of written assignments. I need you to generate a base comment for each profile that I can adapt before delivering it to each student. **Institution and course:** {{name of university}} — {{course subject}} **Course level:** {{year or level in the programme, e.g. "second year of teacher education" or "fifth semester of engineering"}} **Assignment type being assessed:** {{describ…
Student feedback

Give written feedback to a teacher after a classroom observation

Act as an instructional coach with experience supporting teachers in K-12 schools. I'm going to share my notes from an informal classroom observation, and I need your help writing structured, formative written feedback for the teacher. This is a routine instructional coaching visit — it is not part of any formal summative teacher evaluation process. The tone should be that of a colleague with a leadership role, not an evaluator writing a performance report. **Visit details:** - Teacher: {{teacher's name, initials, or descriptor — e.g., "Ms. García" or "language arts teacher, 8 years of ex…

Five principles for using AI in class

A short, citable statement — no forced acronym — to anchor classroom work.

  1. 1

    AI does not teach; you teach

    AI can prepare materials, generate options, summarize documents, and save time on repetitive tasks.

  2. 2

    What goes into the model matters

    When you paste text into an external AI model, that text leaves your control.

  3. 3

    Every AI output is a draft

    The text an AI model generates is a starting point, not a finished product.

  4. 4

    If AI can complete an entire assignment for a student, redesign it

    This principle is uncomfortable, and it is the most important one.

  5. 5

    The best adoption is collective

    Using AI alone, without discussing it with colleagues, produces poor results for two reasons.
