Teacher Prompt Library
Reviewed, classroom-ready AI prompt templates
Every template uses the SATHI structure with marked variables, a filled example, its review requirements and its privacy note. Teacher review before classroom use is always required.
Review: Verify the counterexample and every answer key against the textbook — a wrong confrontation entrenches the misconception it was meant to break.
Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: Tells the failure instead of staging discovery — the question matters more than the example

Diagnose the wrong model behind an error pattern
Name candidate mental models producing a recurring wrong answer.
Template
Class {{CLASS}} {{SUBJECT}}. Frequent anonymised answer pattern: {{ERROR_PATTERN}}. Answer three things: (1) what underlying model(s) produce EXACTLY these answers, (2) the standard name for this misconception if one exists, (3) three diagnostic questions where each wrong option corresponds to a DIFFERENT candidate model — with an option-to-model map after each. Also say whether this is a true misconception or a normal developmental stage.
See the filled example
Class 5 Maths. Pattern: 1/2 + 1/3 → 2/5 and 1/4 + 1/2 → 2/6. What model produces exactly these; the standard name; three diagnostics with option-model maps; misconception or developmental stage?
Illustrative: names add-tops-add-bottoms, supplies three separating diagnostics, and notes it is a true misconception needing confrontation.
Review: Verify the counterexample and every answer key against the textbook — a wrong confrontation entrenches the misconception it was meant to break. Verify the diagnostic option-model maps yourself.
Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: Options that fit two models — each must map to exactly one · Skips the developmental-stage question — it changes everything
The complete targeted intervention for one named misconception.
Template
{{BOARD}} Class {{CLASS}} {{SUBJECT}}. Named wrong model: {{WRONG_MODEL}}. Produce four parts: (1) a CONFRONTATION — a counterexample where this model visibly fails; (2) a REBUILD — the correct model explained ≤{{REBUILD_WORDS}} words with one analogy at class level; (3) one worked example with the thinking said aloud; (4) {{ITEM_COUNT}} scaffolded practice items ordered from the confrontation to transfer, deliberately mixing items where the old rule coincidentally works with items where it fails. Answer key with reasoning; I verify key AND confrontation. Predict which practice item students will most likely still miss.
See the filled example
CBSE Class 7 Maths. Wrong model: '=' read as 'the answer comes next' (so 8+4=__+5 gets 12). Four parts: confrontation on that item; balance-scale rebuild ≤120 words; think-aloud example; 8 items mixing both forms. Key with reasoning; predict the sticking-point item.
Review: Verify the counterexample and every answer key against the textbook — a wrong confrontation entrenches the misconception it was meant to break.
Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: Practice items all have the new shape — mixing is what forces model choice · Confrontation too subtle to land — it must fail visibly

Grammar/language error pattern intervention
Noticing activities for language overgeneralisation (not error drills).
The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.
Review: Verify the counterexample and every answer key against the textbook — a wrong confrontation entrenches the misconception it was meant to break. Overgeneralisation is developmental — celebrate the rule-learning while noticing exceptions.
Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: Prescribes drills for a developmental stage — the case distinction is the point

Home practice note after remediation (general, no data)
A general note to all families supporting the week's reteach — no individual data.
The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.
Review: Goes to every family identically — check nothing implies who 'needed' the reteach.
Privacy: This note contains no student data by design — never adapt it per child in a public tool. Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: Wording that hints at strugglers ('some children…') — it goes to everyone, neutrally

Post-remediation recheck (new surface, old-model distractors, transfer)
The recheck that distinguishes a rebuilt model from memorised answers.
The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.
Review: Pre-commit your three decisions before administering: mastered → spaced review in two weeks; partial → second confrontation with a DIFFERENT analogy; unmoved → re-diagnose (the hypothesis was wrong).
Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: Reuses practised contexts — memory then passes for mastery

Practice set at the failure point
Items that start exactly where the old rule breaks and force model choice.
The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.
Review: Verify the counterexample and every answer key against the textbook — a wrong confrontation entrenches the misconception it was meant to break.
Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: No coincidence items — without them students pattern-match the new procedure

Prerequisite back-map for persistent failure
When remediation doesn't move: map the prerequisite chain and test each link.
The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.
Review: Verify the counterexample and every answer key against the textbook — a wrong confrontation entrenches the misconception it was meant to break. Use the oral checks with small groups, never as a public test.
Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: Chain skips 'obvious' links — the break is usually in one of those

Reteach lesson plan (different route, same outcome)
A second full lesson using a different representation than the first attempt.
The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.
Review: Verify the counterexample and every answer key against the textbook — a wrong confrontation entrenches the misconception it was meant to break.
Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: Reteach becomes recap — starting from the confrontation prevents this

Student error-analysis worksheet (fictional work samples)
Students diagnose planted errors themselves — remediation as analysis.
The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.
Review: Verify the counterexample and every answer key against the textbook — a wrong confrontation entrenches the misconception it was meant to break. The fictional-student framing protects real students — never use real work here.
Privacy: All work samples are fictional by design — never paste real student work. Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: The two flawed solutions blur together — the misconception vs slip distinction is the lesson
