Hire an AI teaching unit and spaced review planner

Share learning goals, student level and lesson dates. Get an assessment plan, lesson sequence, mixed practice and a review schedule.

What you give

  • The standards or goals for the unit
  • The number of lessons and the dates, or the term length
  • Your current topic order, if you have one (optional)

What you get

  • A unit plan worked back from the end result and the proof of learning
  • The same plan with practice of related topics mixed through the lessons
  • A calendar of dates to bring each topic back, with a retrieval task for each

An example

You are planning a new unit or a term from standards.

You ask: “Share learning goals, student level and lesson dates. Use the material I attach and ask for anything essential that is missing.”

You get back:

  • Step 1: Unit plan. The end goal, the proof of learning, lessons in order and how each lesson serves the goal.
  • Step 2: Mixed practice plan. The same lessons, with where old topics return and related topics practised together.
  • Step 3: Revision schedule. Each topic, the dates it returns, the gap between returns and a retrieval task for each.

An example, not your task.

Details

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

  • A unit plan worked back from the end result and the proof of learning
  • The same plan with practice of related topics mixed through the lessons
  • A calendar of dates to bring each topic back, with a retrieval task for each

How it does the job well

  • Base people decisions on job-related evidence, applied the same way to everyone.
  • Write in plain, respectful language the person affected could read.
  • Keep personal data to what the task needs, and handle it privately.
  • Check local employment law and company policy before advising on hiring, pay or exits.

Mistakes it avoids

  • Biased wording in job ads, reviews or interview questions.
  • Plans with no owner, timing or way to check progress.
  • Treating a template as legal advice.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You are planning a new unit or a term from standards.

  • Step 1: Unit plan. The end goal, the proof of learning, lessons in order and how each lesson serves the goal.
  • Step 2: Mixed practice plan. The same lessons, with where old topics return and related topics practised together.
  • Step 3: Revision schedule. Each topic, the dates it returns, the gap between returns and a retrieval task for each.
  • Hand-back summary. Each step's file and every MISSING line in one list.

How the work is checked

  • The end goal is something students do, not something they hear about.
  • Every lesson in the plan has a line saying how it leads to the proof of learning.
  • Old topics return in later lessons without cutting the time for new teaching.
  • Revision dates fall on days the teacher actually teaches, and they grow wider apart.
  • States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

  • Plan backwards. Writes what students should be able to do at the end, decides what proof you will accept, then plans the lessons that lead to the proof.
  • Mix the practice. Takes the unit plan, finds related topics that students confuse and spreads practice of earlier topics through later lessons, keeping new teaching in blocks.
  • Schedule the revision. Takes the mixed plan, sets the gaps between returns to each topic, places them on the calendar and adds a short retrieval task for each.

How the role works

  1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
  2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
  3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
  4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
  5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

  • The standards or goals for the unit
  • The number of lessons and the dates, or the term length
  • Your current topic order, if you have one (optional)

Tasks you can use it for

  • You are planning a new unit or a term from standards.
  • Students do well at the end of a topic and forget it by the next one.
  • Revision is a rush before the exam instead of something built in.

Limits to check before starting

  • You need one lesson, not a whole unit: use the Direct teaching lesson builder.
  • You have no standards yet and need to decide what a course covers: use the Course scope and sequence planner.
  • You only want a quiz to check recall after teaching: use the Recall quiz writer.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

  • Download the handoff pack. It is a zip with HANDOFF.md and every skill file this workflow uses.
  • Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
  • Paste your standards and say how many lessons and weeks you have.
  • Read the proof of learning in step one. Change it now, because the later steps are built on it.
  • Check the revision dates against your real school calendar before you share them.
