## About

Connect Learning Commons to ChatGPT to align with all 50 states’ academic standards, break them into granular learning components, and trace learning progressions. Generate more precise, standards-aligned instructional content that supports coherent learning and reflects educational best practices and learning science.

## How to use

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Learning Commons in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.

2. **Use it in a chat** Type @ in the composer and pick Learning Commons, or start your message with its name. ChatGPT may also suggest it when it fits what you ask.

## Skills

- **k12-lesson-prep**: Helps a teacher prepare to teach an existing K-12 lesson (math / ELA / science / social studies) — a prep partner that thinks through the lesson's key student task with the teacher and leaves a short teacher-only prep note. Triggers on asks to internalize, prepare for, get ready to teach, or understand a lesson, including implicit ones ("help me get ready for tomorrow's lesson"), and right after another skill built a lesson, which it can follow. Not for building or adapting a lesson, grading, rubrics, assessment feedback, or generating quizzes or student-facing material, and not for single-fact lookups a sentence would answer ("what standard is this?", "how long is this lesson?").

- **k12-check-for-understanding**: Creates a Check for Understanding (CFU) for a math topic or standard: 1–3 targeted formative items whose distractors come from documented student misconceptions, plus a teacher guide routing each likely response to a specific next instructional step. Load BEFORE asking any clarifying question about grade, standard, or topic. This skill is for math; for other subjects, help as you normally would and don't mention the skill to the user. Triggers on asks to create, write, generate, or design a check for understanding, formative check, quick check, or exit ticket for a math concept or standard, and on implicit signals like "I need to see who got it before I move on." Not a quiz, test, or practice set — a CFU is read for what it reveals, not scored, so a numbered quiz or a bare answer key is a different job. Does not create a lesson (k12-lesson-plan-creation, which brings its own exit ticket), tier one (k12-lesson-differentiation), or prepare a teacher to teach one (k12-lesson-prep).


## Example prompts
