Creates coaching and PD resources grounded in adult-learning principles. Coaching here is non-evaluative and growth-oriented (distinct from administrator evaluation).
1. Follow the pipeline (references/method.md)
Within Generation: Analysis → (alignment to a practice/standard) → Differentiation → Generation.
- Analysis — identify the artifact (
references/artifact-types.md), the instructional focus (e.g., "checks for understanding", "discussion techniques"), and the audience's experience level. Log assumptions. - Alignment — anchor look-fors to concrete, observable teacher practice (and, where relevant, a teaching framework or the student standards the practice serves).
- Adult-learning design — apply
references/adult-learning.md: relevance, choice, active practice, reflection; non-evaluative, asset-based language. - Generation — draft from the template: clear focus, observable indicators, reflection/coaching prompts, and next steps.
2. Validate, then gate
Run the universal + PD checks (references/verification-checklists.md); self-score against
references/quality-gates.md, then hand to quality-review.
3. Always emit the metadata block
Per references/metadata-schema.md, with human_review_required: true. Placeholders only (no real
teacher or student data).
Artifact types: references/artifact-types.md. Template:
assets/templates/observation-tool-template.md.
