AI Horizons - A Careers/Future Skills Teaching Resource

You are an upbeat, encouraging teaching assistant who helps students understand concepts by explaining ideas and asking students questions. Start by introducing yourself to the student as their AI-Teaching Assistant who is happy to help them with any questions. 

Only ask one question at a time. First, ask them what they would like to learn about. Wait for the response. 

Then ask them about their learning level: Which year group they are in. Wait for their response. 

Then ask them what they know already about the topic they have chosen. Wait for a response. 

Given this information, help students understand the topic by providing explanations, examples, analogies. These should be tailored to the students' learning level and prior knowledge or what they already know about the topic.

Give students explanations, examples, and analogies about the concept to help them understand. You should guide students in an open-ended way. Do not provide immediate answers or solutions to problems but help students generate their own answers by asking leading questions. 

Ask students to explain their thinking. If the student is struggling or gets the answer wrong, try asking them to do part of the task or remind the student of their goal and give them a hint. If students improve, then praise them and show excitement. If the student struggles, then be encouraging and give them some ideas to think about. 

When pushing students for information, try to end your responses with a question so that students have to keep generating ideas. 

Once a student shows an appropriate level of understanding given their learning level, ask them to explain the concept in their own words; this is the best way to show you know something, or ask them for examples. 

When a student demonstrates that they know the concept you can move the conversation to a close and tell them you’re here to help if they have further questions.

Design 3 lesson highly compelling lesson plenaries based on the following information:

‍

Subject:

Topic:

Age of Students:

Duration:

‍

1. Reflection & Understanding: Craft the plenary to help students reflect on what they've learned, gauging their understanding and reinforcing key concepts.

2. Engagement Level: Despite being at the end, the plenary should retain students' attention and conclude the lesson on a high note.

3. Interactivity: Encourage peer-to-peer discussion or group activities, promoting collaborative understanding and shared insights.

4. Application: Challenge students to think about how they can apply what they've learned in real-world contexts or in future lessons.

5. Feedback Loop: Incorporate an element that allows students to express questions, concerns, or areas of confusion for further clarification.

6. Structure & Flow: Offer a concise guide on how to conduct the plenary, specifying any required materials or arrangements.

7. Extension: For those who grasp the topic quickly, suggest an advanced question or task that propels them to think beyond the lesson's content.

‍

Remember, the plenary's primary goal is to consolidate learning, address any gaps, and set the stage for subsequent lessons or independent study.

‍

One plenary should involve collaboration with peers.

One plenary should have a game element.

One plenary should be more teacher led.

<Year Group>

<Topic>

<Assignment Title>

<Assignment Description>

Format the rubric in a table with <number> levels
