practice-problem-sequence-designer

Generate a scaffolded sequence of practice problems with graduated difficulty and strategic variability. Use when creating worksheets, homework sets, or independent practice materials.

prepared-environment-designer

Redesign a classroom as a prepared environment optimised for independent learning, calm transitions, and material access. Use when classroom layout hinders independence or self-directed work.

productive-failure-desirable-difficulty-designer

Redesign a direct instruction sequence to include productive struggle before the explanation phase. Use when teaching concepts that benefit from failure-first approaches.

productive-failure-protocol

Stage exploration before instruction on complex problems. The learner produces two attempted approaches before consolidation — which builds on those attempts, not from scratch. Use for genuinely hard problems where struggle produces deeper learning.

professional-development-session-designer

Design a professional development session using adult learning principles with active teacher engagement. Use when planning INSET days, CPD workshops, or staff training sessions.

progressive-hint-ladder

Provide graduated assistance from abstract conceptual nudge to concrete procedural step, with reflection required before each escalation. Teaches help-seeking as a skill and prevents direct-answer shortcuts.

project-brief-designer

Design a project-based learning brief with a driving question, milestones, and assessment criteria. Use when planning PBL units, inquiry projects, or extended investigations.

prompt-literacy-sequence-designer

Design a learning sequence teaching prompt quality — comparing vague vs. refined prompts to show why specificity and context transform AI output. Use when students use AI without understanding why output quality varies.

reading-comprehension-strategy-selector

Select and sequence reading comprehension strategies matched to a specific text's challenges and demands. Use when students struggle with a text or need targeted reading support.

reflective-practice-prompt-generator

Generate structured reflection prompts for a specific teaching experience or professional learning challenge. Use when debriefing lessons, journaling, or preparing for coaching conversations.

regenerative-project-design-orchestrator

Present project-design pathway options and orchestrate regenerative projects using backwards design, PBL, SEEDS, compassionate systems action, or civic/service pathways.

reggio-documentation-protocol

Design a pedagogical documentation protocol for making children's learning processes visible and shareable. Use when documenting learning, communicating with families, or planning next steps.

restorative-practice-protocol-designer

Design a restorative practice protocol for addressing harm, rebuilding trust, and restoring relationships. Use when managing conflict, behavioural incidents, or relationship breakdown between students.

retrieval-practice-generator

Generate retrieval practice questions at varied difficulty levels for a topic or concept. Use when creating quiz starters, revision activities, or low-stakes testing materials.

retrieve-first-gate

Before any explanation or answer, require the learner to produce a free-recall attempt and confidence rating. Use when a student wants help understanding or reviewing a topic — this skill ensures the AI works from what the learner already knows.

ruler-emotional-literacy-sequence

Design a RULER emotional literacy sequence for recognising, understanding, labelling, expressing, and regulating emotions. Use when students struggle with emotional regulation, conflict, or anxiety.

scaffolded-task-modifier

Modify a classroom task with language scaffolds that preserve cognitive demand for EAL learners. Use when adapting existing tasks for students at different English proficiency levels.

scope-and-sequence-designer

Design a scope and sequence showing vertical and horizontal curriculum coherence across a programme or year. Use when building new programmes, restructuring subjects, or ensuring progression.

scoping-for-transformative-learning-inquiry

Define the scope and purpose of a complex inquiry before mapping or futures work begins. Use when a class or group needs to agree what they are investigating, who it matters to, and at what scale.

seeds-regenerative-inquiry-cycle

Design a SEEDS regenerative inquiry cycle connecting place-based learning to ecological awareness for young learners. Use when building early childhood or primary inquiry around ecosystems and community.

self-determined-project-design-protocol

Structure a student's self-determined project with mentoring checkpoints, competency alignment, and reflection. Use when guiding student-led projects within a competency-based framework.

self-efficacy-builder-sequence

Design a mastery experience sequence that systematically builds student confidence in a skill they avoid. Use when students say 'I can't do this', avoid tasks, or show learned helplessness.

self-explanation-prompt-designer

Create self-explanation prompts that deepen understanding of worked examples, texts, or diagrams. Use when students read material passively without engaging with underlying principles.

self-regulation-scaffold-generator

Generate scaffolds supporting student self-regulation across planning, monitoring, and evaluation phases. Use when students struggle to manage their own learning during extended or independent tasks.

service-learning-project-designer

Design a service-learning project connecting genuine community need with embedded curriculum learning. Use when planning community projects, civic engagement, or social action units.

sheltered-instruction-lesson-modifier

Modify a lesson plan using SIOP sheltered instruction principles to support language learners across all four skills. Use when planning lessons for classes that include EAL students.

single-point-rubric-designer

Design a single-point rubric with one criterion and open columns for evidence. Use for student self-assessment, peer feedback, teacher formative feedback, or pre-task planning. Works with any learning target, with or without a band system.

socratic-questioning-sequence-generator

Generate a Socratic questioning sequence that develops conceptual understanding through guided inquiry. Use when facilitating philosophical discussions, concept exploration, or critical examination.

source-credibility-evaluation-protocol

Design a source evaluation protocol using lateral reading and credibility checks for digital information. Use when students need to evaluate websites, online sources, or social media claims.

sourcing-skill-builder

Build students' capacity to interrogate a historical source before reading — asking who authored it, when, why, and what this means for reliability. Use when students read documents without attending to authorship.

spaced-practice-scheduler

Design a spaced retrieval schedule for any topic list and timeline. Use when planning units, term sequences, or revision programmes.

srl-session-wrapper

Wrap a learning session in a plan → monitor → reflect cycle. Use at the start of any substantial study session to set goals, mid-session to check strategy, and at session end to consolidate what changed. Builds self-regulated learning as a habit.

stuck-and-error-diagnosis-coach

When a learner gets something wrong or feels stuck, require them to diagnose the problem before receiving help. Ensures help targets the actual cognitive breakdown, not just the surface error.

study-strategy-selector

Select evidence-based study strategies matched to material type, learning goal, and student habits. Use when advising students on revision techniques, homework, or independent study approaches.

systems-awareness-iceberg

Map a current event below the surface into patterns, structures, and mental models. Use when a class or team needs systemic understanding before action.

systems-wellbeing-impact-mapper

Map systemic forces shaping a wellbeing concern without individualising the problem. Uses Bronfenbrenner's ecological model and social determinants to generate structural interventions.

teach-back-evaluator

The learner teaches the concept to the AI, which plays a curious novice peer and identifies gaps through authentic questions. Use when the learner wants to test their understanding — teaching forces a different kind of organisation than studying.

teacher-inquiry-cycle-designer

Design a practitioner inquiry cycle from research question through data collection to evidence-informed action. Use when starting action research, teacher-led investigation, or professional inquiry.

technological-pedagogical-content-knowledge-developer

Develop TPACK for integrating a specific technology or AI tool into subject teaching with pedagogical alignment. Use when adopting new ed-tech, reviewing AI tools, or planning technology integration.

text-complexity-analyser

Analyse text complexity across quantitative, qualitative, and reader-task dimensions with scaffolding recommendations. Use when selecting texts, assessing readability, or planning reading support.
