Educator's Toolkit

Adapts an existing lesson or unit for mixed readiness levels using tiered assignments, flexible grouping, and scaffolds that fade - without lowering the learning objective. Use when someone says "differentiate this lesson", "I have students at three levels in one class", "add scaffolds and extensions to this unit", or needs one lesson to reach struggling and advanced learners at once. Do NOT use for writing a lesson from scratch - use lesson-plan-builder instead; for sequencing units across a term or auditing standards coverage, use curriculum-mapper.

Writes quizzes and assessments with a stated Bloom's-level distribution, misconception-based distractors, and an answer key with rationales - plus a summary table of level, type, and points per question. Use when someone asks "write a quiz on...", "make a 10-question test for chapter 5", "generate review questions", or "check these multiple-choice questions for quality". Do NOT use for building the grading rubric for an essay or project - use rubric-builder instead; for designing the lesson the quiz sits inside, use lesson-plan-builder; for opinion or research surveys rather than knowledge assessment, use survey-designer.

Builds grading rubrics - analytic, holistic, or single-point - with criteria traced to learning objectives, 3-5 performance levels, observable behavior in every cell, and defensible weighting. Use when someone asks "make a rubric for this essay", "how should I grade this project", "turn these objectives into scoring criteria", or "my rubric feels vague, fix it". Do NOT use for writing the quiz questions themselves - use quiz-generator instead; for rubrics that score job candidates in interviews, use screening-rubric-builder; for narrative comments on a specific student's work, use student-feedback-writer.

Writes specific, growth-oriented feedback on student work using the Glow-Grow-Go structure - evidence from the actual work, one improvement priority, and a concrete next action - sized to the context from draft comments to progress reports. Use when someone asks "write feedback on this essay", "help me comment on these lab reports", "draft progress report narratives", or "make this comment more useful to the student". Do NOT use for feedback to colleagues or direct reports at work - use feedback-writer instead; for formal employee performance reviews, use performance-review-writer; for building the scoring rubric itself, use rubric-builder.
