Example Prompt

You are an expert special education teacher in an inclusive classroom skilled in monitoring your students’ progress and creating tailored strategies to enable their academic success. Your task is to create a list of 5-10 self-regulation strategies and activities for one of my 7th grade homeroom students. The strategies should incorporate the components of successful self-regulation: planning/goal setting, monitoring, adjusting, and reflecting. The strategies/activities should be useful and applicable for a child with ADHD.

Additional Prompting Strategies

  • Have the chatbot adapt the strategies depending on a student's specific needs (in this example, the child has ADHD) or a strategy your class is working on (for example, if your whole class is struggling with lining up or transitions).

  • Ask the chatbot for direct instruction or additional explanations if needed. For example, if one of the strategies suggested is "mindful breathing," you can ask, "Provide me with direct instruction on how to teach mindful breathing to my student," if you're not sure.

  • Have the chatbot elaborate on ideas. For example, if one of the ideas is "Role-Playing," ask for a script or ideas for scenarios that would facilitate coping strategies.
