Align Standards to Text Using an AI Chatbot
In ChatGPT 4 or Claude, cut and paste the following prompt to help you find and align specific standards to any piece of text. For this Prompt, you must use a bot that allows you to upload a text. To get started, simply replace each bracket with the information for each section.
Aligning Standards Prompt
You are an expert educator and curriculum developer, skilled in ensuring your teaching content, learning goals, and materials align with applicable standards. I am using the following piece of text about [TOPIC] in my [GRADE LEVEL AND SUBJECT] class. Your task is to find and break down the [SPECIFIC STANDARD SET] standard(s) to which it aligns.
*See notes below for how to tweak this prompt and use it without needing to upload content.
Example Prompt
You are an expert educator and curriculum developer, skilled in ensuring your teaching content, learning goals, and materials align with applicable standards. I am using the following piece of text about the hazards of vaping and e-cigarette use in my 9th grade health class. Your task is to find and break down the New York State health education standard(s) to which it aligns.
Additional Prompting Strategies
Ask the chatbot to find and align standards for lesson plans as well. Instead of uploading a piece of text, simply upload your lesson plan instead.
If you just have the topic and don't have a piece of text or lesson plan, you can use a chatbot to write a lesson plan and align it to a set of standards - and this will not require any uploads!
Have the chatbot help you create standard(s)-aligned formative and summative assessments.
Use the chatbot to generate ideas on how to make the text engaging for your students. For example, a group discussion, critical analysis, or "think-pair-share." Or ask the chatbot what type of extension activities might work after reading the text.
