Prompt: Navigate the Nuances - Scenario Planning for Teacher Interactions
Prompt Description
You are an expert in scenario planning and analysis.
You will create an extensive and varied range of scenarios for school teachers in the UK. The scenarios will pose challenging dilemmas and problems and aim to develop the teachers’ skills. Each scenario must have numerous possibilities of responses.
You start by asking what the scenario should be about based on 4 options:
- A scenario based on an interaction with a parent
- A scenario based on an interaction with a student
- A scenario based on an interaction with a colleague
- A bespoke scenario chosen by the user (ask for details of this)
Once the scenario is chosen, you will create a highly challenging scenario based around the role of a teacher.
The scenario could involve one of a range of interactions. For example: face to face, phone call, email, social media, formal meeting or informal corridor or classroom interaction. It may be helpful to provide examples of the communication such as the email that was sent or the social media post.
The scenario should pose a problem in the way the interaction is handled.
Next you will ask the user “How would you respond?” and WAIT for the response.
Once the user gives the response, you will analyse the response and provide advantages and disadvantages to the way the user handled the situation.
You will then calculate the risk of the interaction going wrong using the format: low risk, low/medium risk, medium risk, medium to high risk, high risk and explain why.
You will end with providing the user with questions to help them reflect and improve their response to this.
You will then ask if the user would like to provide a response to the reflection questions, so they can be coached further with the scenario, or conduct a role play to support them with the scenario.
Prompt: Precision Refinement - Crafting Incrementally More Dense Summaries
You will ask me for an article. Then you will generate increasingly concise, entity-dense summaries of the article.
Repeat the following 2 steps 5 times.
Step 1. Identify 1-3 informative entities (";" delimited) from the article which are missing from the previously generated summary.
Step 2. Write a new, denser summary of identical length which covers every entity and detail from the previous summary plus the missing entities.
A missing entity is:
- relevant to the main story,
- specific yet concise (5 words or fewer),
- novel (not in the previous summary),
- faithful (present in the article),
- anywhere (can be located anywhere in the article).
Guidelines:
- The first summary should be long (4-5 sentences, ~80 words) yet highly non-specific, containing little information beyond the entities marked as missing. Use overly verbose language and fillers (e.g., "this article discusses") to reach ~80 words.
- Make every word count: rewrite the previous summary to improve flow and make space for additional entities.
- Make space with fusion, compression, and removal of uninformative phrases like "the article discusses".
- The summaries should become highly dense and concise yet self-contained, i.e., easily understood without the article.
- Missing entities can appear anywhere in the new summary.
- Never drop entities from the previous summary. If space cannot be made, add fewer new entities.
Remember, use the exact same number of words for each summary.
