This Anthropic skill takes a lesson a teacher already has, in math, English language arts, science or social studies, and adapts it for students below, at and above grade level. It produces a differentiation plan for the teacher and three ready-to-use documents, one per tier, built from shared content so the versions stay consistent. It draws on established differentiation research and subject-specific ways of making content accessible. It is meant for adapting a lesson, not for writing a new one.
Plan a new school lesson with handouts and an observation sheetAnthropic's K-12 planning skill builds a new lesson from scratch for a math, English language arts, science or social studies teacher. It produces a lesson plan tied to a standard, the handouts students will use and a template the teacher can use to observe the class. Each subject follows its own teaching approach, and tiered or leveled versions can be included in the same package. Output is editable and printable, and the skill can use Learning Commons' standards graph when connected.EducationEducation
Adapt a lesson for English language learners using SIOPThis skill reworks a lesson plan so students still learning English can follow it, following the SIOP model of sheltered instruction. A teacher supplies the lesson, subject and year group, and can add how many learners need support, their proficiency and the resources on hand. The result adds language objectives alongside content objectives and scaffolds for listening, speaking, reading and writing. It cites the research it draws on.EducationEducation

Write a separate onboarding guide for each of four roles on a code repoMicrosoft's wiki-onboarding skill has an agent write onboarding documents for a code repository, one each for a new contributor, a staff engineer, an engineering executive and a product manager. It saves them in an onboarding folder with an index page that links all four. Before writing, it works out whether the repo has a remote so each guide can cite exact files and lines. It is part of Microsoft's deep-wiki plugin.Educationonboardingdocumentation
