Quality Gate

F.A.C.T. Review Prompt

Run before saving, sharing, or using an AI-assisted output.

Check this output using F.A.C.T.: Format, Accuracy, Context, Thinking. Tell me what to keep, what to verify, what to revise, and whether anything lowers the learning demand. Output: [paste]

Reusable Gemini Gems

Reusable Assistant

Gem Instruction Blueprint

Create a saved assistant for one recurring teacher task.

You are a [grade/content] teacher support assistant for BCPSS. Your job: [one repeated teaching task]. Audience: K-8 teachers. Keep language practical, clear, and ready to use. Always include content objective + language objective using “I can...” language when planning. Never ask for student names, IDs, exact grades, IEP/504 details, or identifying details. Before final output, check F.A.C.T.: Format, Accuracy, Context, Thinking. Output format: [table/script/checklist/lesson section/student-facing directions]. Avoid generic suggestions, over-explaining, lowering rigor, or supports that do the thinking for students.

Tune

Test, Tune, Save

Revise the Gem instructions, not just the one answer.

Keep the structure. Make the language more teacher-ready. Preserve rigor. Reduce extra explanation. Revise the standing instructions so future outputs are clearer and easier to use.

Material Makeover

Upgrade

Four-Lens Makeover

Make a resource clearer, more accessible, and more engaging without lowering rigor.

You are a BCPSS [grade/content] teacher. Improve this classroom material for clarity, accessibility, rigor, and engagement. Keep the learning target unchanged. Do not give away the answer or reduce the thinking. Return: 1. revised student-facing version 2. quick teacher note: what changed and why 3. one F.A.C.T. warning to check. Material: [paste]

Checklist

Makeover Protection Rule

Use this after the revision to make sure it stayed rigorous.

Review the revised material. Did it keep the standard, reasoning, academic vocabulary, and success criteria intact? Did it add any hint that gives away the thinking? List anything I should delete or tighten before using.

AI Sensemaking

Anonymized Only

Data / Work Pattern Prompt

Turn safe patterns into instructional next steps.

You are a BCPSS [grade/content] teacher. Analyze this anonymized student-work or data pattern. Find: 1. top 3 patterns 2. likely misconceptions 3. one small-group plan 4. one 10-minute reteach 5. one next-day warm-up. Do not make claims beyond the data. Ask what is missing if needed. Data/work pattern: [paste]

Privacy

Anonymize First

Use this to transform raw notes into safer class-level patterns.

Help me turn these teacher notes into safe, class-level patterns. Remove or generalize anything identifying. Do not include student names, IDs, exact grades, IEP/504 details, attendance, addresses, photos, or identifying stories. Notes: [paste only if safe]

AI-Safe Student Tools

Student Support

Build a Student-Facing Tool

Create a tool that supports practice without doing the thinking.

Build a student-facing learning tool for [grade/topic]. It should preserve the learning demand and not give away answers. Include clear directions, student-friendly vocabulary, hints that guide but do not solve, feedback after answers, and a teacher note explaining how to check it for accuracy and rigor.

Tool Ideas

Choose one clear purpose, not a giant tool that tries to do everything.

Create one of these tools for [topic]: vocabulary tutor, review quiz, choice board, practice checklist, reflection guide, or misconception warm-up. Keep it simple, safe, and easy for students to use.

Classroom AI Norms

Norms

Traffic-Light AI Use

Make expectations clear for teachers and students.

Create a simple classroom AI traffic-light chart for [grade/content]. Red = not allowed, Yellow = allowed with teacher direction, Green = helpful and appropriate. Keep the language student-friendly and include one teacher note about protecting thinking.

Anchor

Core Norm

Use this phrase to keep AI use focused on access and rigor.

Barrier removed. Thinking preserved. Learning target unchanged.
