competency-unpacker

Unpack a broad standard or competency descriptor into specific, assessable success criteria and sub-skills. Use when interpreting curriculum standards or writing learning objectives.

confidence-calibration-check

Capture confidence ratings before and after a learning attempt to identify overconfidence and underconfidence patterns. Use when a student wants to understand how well they actually know something versus how well they think they know it.

contextualisation-skill-builder

Build students' capacity to place historical documents in their temporal and social context. Use when students read sources without considering what was happening at the time, or know the context but don't deploy it.

corroboration-skill-builder

Build students' capacity to compare accounts across multiple historical sources — identifying agreements, contradictions, and gaps. Use when students treat individual documents as complete answers rather than partial perspectives.

coverage-audit

Takes a curriculum framework and a statutory or accreditation requirement list; produces a coverage table, gap summary, and CSV showing which framework content covers each requirement and where gaps exist.

cpa-sequence-designer

Design a Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract learning sequence for a mathematical concept using manipulatives. Use when teaching maths through Singapore method or when students struggle with abstraction.

criterion-referenced-rubric-generator

Generate a criterion-referenced rubric with descriptive performance levels for a task or objective. Use for marking guides and general curriculum contexts. For Manning programmes where Competent = success, use coherent-rubric-logic-builder instead.

critical-thinking-task-designer

Design a critical thinking task targeting specific skills like evaluating evidence, identifying bias, or analysing arguments. Use when embedding critical analysis into subject lessons.

cross-cultural-task-validity-checker

Check an educational practice or task for cultural bias, WEIRD assumptions, and cross-cultural validity. Use when adapting resources for diverse contexts or questioning universal claims.

culturally-responsive-teaching-designer

Redesign a lesson to centre students' cultural backgrounds, community knowledge, and lived experience. Use when making curriculum relevant and inclusive for diverse student populations.

curriculum-crosswalk

Compares two or more band-tagged frameworks and produces a framework-neutral topic matrix showing coverage and gaps across all inputs, plus an optional reference-centric PLC crosswalk document when a reference framework is supplied.

curriculum-knowledge-architecture-designer

Map the epistemic structure of a subject to determine knowledge types and inform curriculum sequencing. Use when designing courses, restructuring programmes, or analysing knowledge architecture.

developmental-band-system-designer

Design a developmental band system mapping student growth from early childhood through upper secondary. Use when building competency-based curriculum architecture for a school or programme.

developmental-band-translator

Tags harness-decomposed curriculum items (KUDs, LTs, criteria) with a school's developmental band metadata while preserving source voice and labels. Supply the band schema; the skill derives mapping rules from it.

developmental-progression-synthesis

Synthesise completed KUD charts into a developmental progression matrix and per-competency narrative sections. Use when you need a programme-level view of how knowledge, understanding, and performance develop across bands.

dialogic-teaching-move-generator

Generate follow-up teaching moves that extend student thinking after a specific classroom response. Use when a student says something worth exploring and the teacher wants to deepen the dialogue.

differentiation-adapter

Adapt a classroom task for specific learner needs while preserving the core learning objective intact. Use when differentiating for SEND, EAL, gifted, ADHD, dyslexia, or anxiety.

digital-worked-example-sequence

Create an interactive digital worked example sequence with fading for online or blended delivery. Use when building e-learning modules, LMS content, or app-based instruction.

dilemma-navigation-for-education-design

Identify and navigate genuine dilemmas in curriculum, school, or community contexts — tensions between competing goods that cannot be solved, only navigated. Produces a structured dilemma map with both poles named and both/and possibilities.

disciplinary-ai-literacy-sequence-designer

Design a sequence where students compare AI's handling of the same question across disciplines, developing a mental model of where AI is reliable vs. distorting based on knowledge type.

disciplinary-writing-scaffold

Create a writing scaffold teaching the genre conventions specific to an academic discipline. Use when students write lab reports, historical essays, or other discipline-specific text types.

discipline-specific-critical-thinking-task-designer

Design discipline-specific critical thinking tasks grounded in knowledge-contingent reasoning rather than generic skills. Use when embedding higher-order thinking into subject content.

discussion-protocol-selector

Select and configure a structured discussion protocol matched to the purpose, topic, and group readiness. Use when planning classroom discussions, Socratic seminars, or structured debate.

dispositional-knowledge-assessment-designer

Design multi-informant assessment approaches for dispositional competencies like curiosity or resilience. Use when assessing character strengths or competencies that written tests cannot capture.

document-based-lesson-designer

Design a complete document-based history lesson using the Reading Like a Historian four-part structure. Use when planning a primary source inquiry lesson or converting a textbook lesson into document-based investigation.

dual-coding-designer

Design a visual complement to verbal content using dual coding principles for stronger encoding. Use when creating slides, diagrams, posters, or visual explanations of complex concepts.

ecological-inquiry-anchor-designer

Design an inquiry sequence anchored in a local ecosystem that embeds science or geography curriculum content. Use when teaching through local living systems like gardens, ponds, or hedgerows.

elaborative-interrogation-generator

Generate elaborative interrogation prompts that deepen encoding through targeted why and how questions. Use when students memorise without understanding or need deeper processing of content.

emergent-project-design-scaffold

Scaffold an emergent project from observed children's interests using Reggio-inspired approaches. Use when following children's fascinations into deeper inquiry in early years or primary settings.

erroneous-example-designer

Design deliberately flawed examples that develop error-detection skills and deepen understanding. Use when students make characteristic errors and need practice spotting mistakes.

error-analysis-protocol

Design an error analysis protocol to diagnose the root cause of student mistakes and misconceptions. Use when error patterns appear in student work and targeted feedback is needed.

experiential-learning-cycle-designer

Structure a direct experience into a full learning cycle with concrete experience, reflection, and conceptual transfer. Use when planning field trips, simulations, or practical tasks.

explain-first-interrogator

Require the learner to explain a concept in their own words before the AI evaluates or extends it. Ensures the AI works from the learner's understanding rather than providing an explanation from scratch.

explicit-instruction-sequence-builder

Build a complete explicit instruction sequence from teacher modelling through guided practice to independent work. Use when teaching new skills, procedures, or concepts through direct instruction.

fading-manager

Track performance across sessions and reduce scaffolding as competence grows. Makes fading visible — the learner knows when scaffolds are removed and why. Use for sustained learning engagement where independence is the goal.

feedback-quality-analyser

Analyse existing written feedback for quality, specificity, actionability, and impact on student learning. Use when reviewing teacher or peer feedback to improve feedback practices.

flow-state-condition-designer

Optimise a learning activity for flow by balancing challenge level, skill, clear goals, and immediate feedback. Use when students are bored, anxious, or disengaged during a task.

formative-assessment-loop-designer

Design an adaptive assessment loop where each student response triggers the next instructional move. Use when building technology-enhanced formative assessment cycles.

formative-assessment-technique-selector

Select the right formative assessment technique for a specific learning moment, purpose, and age group. Use when choosing how to check understanding during, between, or after lessons.

gap-analysis-from-student-work

Analyse student work against criteria to identify specific gaps between current performance and learning objectives. Use when reviewing submissions, planning feedback, or diagnosing learning needs.
