Break a daily living, vocational, or self-help skill into small teachable steps with prompts and mastery criteria.
Turn one skill or concept into a ladder of outcomes across SOLO Taxonomy levels, so you can pitch and progress precisely.
Draft a term-long scheme of work for one domain, sequencing skills sensibly and building in revisiting.
A student has a skill in one setting — plan how to help it transfer across people, places, and materials.
Draft a social story that prepares a student for a situation, routine change, or social expectation.
Generate the text and image descriptions for a visual schedule, first-then board, or step-by-step task cards.
Paste any text — a notice, a story, an information passage — and get versions your students can access.
Create one worksheet at three levels of demand so the whole class works on the same content.
Plan activities that give AAC users repeated, motivating reasons to use target words — not just answer questions.
Write a simple song or chant (to a familiar tune) that teaches a routine, concept, or transition.
Design the vocabulary layout for a topic-specific communication board or device page for an upcoming activity or outing.
Create a concise script, storyboard and generation brief for an accessible teaching video.
Turn a process, sequence or concept into purposeful motion, keyframes and an animation brief.
Develop exact copy, visual hierarchy and a production brief for an age-respectful teaching poster.
Turn a sequence, comparison or small evidence set into an accessible visual explanation.
Create a consistent set of illustrated concept, sequence or choice cards with image prompts and alt text.
Plan a calm, interactive slide sequence with exact copy, visual briefs, speaker notes and a printable fallback.
Turn a present level of performance into well-formed, measurable IEP goal options.
Generate accommodation and modification ideas for a specific barrier a student faces in a specific activity.
Map one lesson objective across your whole class — who needs what, in one table you can plan from.
A student can do a skill with help — plan the deliberate fade so help doesn't become permanent.
Make learning observable and use evidence to decide what comes next.
Create a structured observation checklist for a skill, ready to use on a clipboard or tablet during the lesson itself.
Build a performance rubric for a task or project, with levels that describe growing independence and quality — not just 'more marks'.
Design a quick baseline measure for a new IEP goal and a matching probe you can repeat fortnightly to track progress.
Generate ways to let a student who doesn't use speech show what they know or can do.
Paste in your (anonymised) observation notes or probe data and get a structured read of what it shows and what to teach next.
Understand behaviour, strengthen communication and work with families and teams.
Paste anonymised ABC observations and explore possible functions of a behaviour before your team discussion.
Design supports for the transitions in your day where students struggle most.
Build a new classroom routine from scratch — taught explicitly like any other skill.
Walk your classroom with a structured checklist to find sensory barriers you've stopped noticing.
Plan proactive, communication-rich support for a younger learner with intellectual disability and autism while preserving play, belonging and dignity.
Support regulation, autonomy and participation through puberty and changing social or sensory demands without infantilising the learner.

Teach a safer, easier way for a learner to communicate the need currently expressed through behaviour.
Turn your professional notes into a warm, clear, jargon-free update for families.
Design a realistic home practice suggestion for a family — built around their actual routines, not a homework worksheet.
Organise your thoughts before an IEP meeting or case conference — agenda, talking points, and the hard conversation planned.

Build a fair, resilient deployment plan from anonymous roles, capabilities, availability and operational needs.
Turn a planned deployment into clear arrival, coverage, handover and backup arrangements for the day itself.
Coordinate purpose, people, workstreams, logistics, communication and contingencies in one usable event plan.
Connect authentic learning objectives with transport, supervision, accessibility, communication and evidence of learning.

Create aligned role-based briefings while keeping each audience's message clear, accessible and appropriately detailed.

Compare plan with reality, capture operational learning and strengthen future capability without ranking or blaming staff.
Know learners more deeply and strengthen practice through inquiry, evidence and thoughtful use of new tools.
Explore one Skilful Teacher idea through your own interpretation, teaching context, learner evidence and possible classroom experiments.
Generate contrasting teaching approaches for one learner outcome, then decide when each approach is most useful.
Separate observation from interpretation and connect learner evidence to one defensible teaching adjustment.
Turn one Skilful Teacher learning priority into a focused practice cycle with rehearsal, evidence and review.
Create a narrow, non-evaluative observation focus that connects teacher decisions with learner experience and evidence.
Compare two teaching episodes to identify which contextual differences may explain different learner responses.
Structure a collaborative inquiry around a framework idea, a shared learner need and evidence from practice.
Bring learner voice, strengths and observations across contexts into a living portrait that informs teaching without defining the person.
Use SOLO to examine the complexity of one observed response and design the next accessible step in understanding.

Draft routine school documents — circulars, event proposals, duty rosters, risk assessments — from your rough points.
