The 5-minute quality check

Before you teach it, read the plan once with these six tests in mind.

Outcome testCould a colleague read your outcome and know exactly what students should be able to do? 01 Timing testDo the segments sum to the block length, including transitions? 02 Differentiation testIs each level a genuinely different task? 03 Exit-ticket testDoes question 3 actually measure the outcome? 04 Privacy testDid any step require student names or identifiable data? 05 Monday-morning testCould you teach this tomorrow with what’s in your room? 06

Privacy note

This workflow reduces privacy risk by keeping identifiable student information out of the prompt. Safety still depends on what you enter, your school or board’s policies, and the AI provider’s data terms.
