Choose how to use this skill

You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.

1. Native installer

This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.

Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.

2. Complete package recommended

Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.

No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.

3. Prompt-only

Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.

Need only the instruction file?

Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.

No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

Agent Skills for K-12 Teachers

Source code and evaluation framework for the agent skills that are included with Claude for Teachers.

Included are four skills:

  • k12-lesson-plan-creation: Builds classroom-ready, standards-aligned lesson plans, optionally aligned to a teacher's curriculum
  • k12-lesson-differentiation: Adapts an existing lesson into tiered versions (below / at / above proficiency-level) and for specific student needs, keeping core content consistent across tiers
  • k12-lesson-prep: A prep partner for a lesson the teacher already has; works through the key student task with them and leaves a short teacher-only prep note
  • k12-check-for-understanding: Builds a 1–3 item formative check for a math standard, with distractors drawn from documented misconceptions and a teacher guide routing each response to a next step

Where noted, materials in this repo were co-developed between Anthropic and Learning Commons, who collaborated to help Claude create classroom materials that are grounded in academic standards and follow best practices from learning science research.

The skills are written to make effective use of the Learning Commons Knowledge Graph Claude connector that is included for all teachers using Claude for Teachers. This connector provides Claude with access to academic standards across all 50 states and progressions beneath them; adapt the skills if your environment does not have access to these tools.
