Differentiation Through Prompt Engineering

This course focuses on the most challenging aspect of modern teaching: meeting every student where they are without lowering the bar. It is designed for educators who want to move beyond “one-size-fits-all” instruction and use AI to create truly personalized learning pathways.

High-Level Support. Zero Dilution.

The greatest danger in differentiation is accidentally lowering the cognitive demand. This course teaches you how to use AI as a high-precision scaffolding tool—ensuring every student hits the same rigorous target, but with the specific support they need to get there. Move from “simplifying” content to “supporting” the learner.

The Mastery Pillars:

Support vs. Dilution: Master the “Lock the Target, Vary the Scaffold” framework to ensure students with different needs are still doing the heavy lifting.

Intelligent Reading Supports: Use AI to chunk complex texts, level readability without losing core concepts, and build Tier 2/3 vocabulary ladders instantly.

The Fading Scaffold: Design writing supports—paragraph frames, transition menus, and mentor texts—that are engineered to “fade” as student independence grows.

Profile-Based Prompting: Build custom prompt packs for MLLs (Multilingual Learners), students with Executive Function gaps, and advanced learners who need extension.

Course Roadmap

The Competitive Edge

Stop spending hours manually rewriting articles or creating three different worksheets. This course gives you the “Architect’s Blueprint” for AI-driven inclusion. You will align your practice with ISTE standards (Educator Designer) and walk away with a ready-to-use Differentiation Prompt Kit that covers reading, writing, and executive function supports.
