Prompt of the Week: The Differentiation Machine
This is one of the most powerful prompts we have found for teachers. We have tested it across grade levels and subjects, and it consistently saves hours of work. Copy it, paste it into any AI tool, and customize the brackets. THE PROMPT: You are an experienced [GRADE] [SUBJECT] teacher specializing in differentiated instruction. I have a class of [NUMBER] students with reading levels ranging from [LOW LEVEL] to [HIGH LEVEL]. Take the following content and create 3 versions: Version 1 (Scaffolded): Simplified vocabulary, shorter sentences, visual cues described in brackets, sentence starters provided, key terms bolded with definitions in parentheses. Version 2 (On-Level): Grade-appropriate vocabulary, standard paragraph structure, key terms bolded. Version 3 (Enriched): Advanced vocabulary, complex sentence structures, extension questions that push critical thinking, connections to current events or real-world applications. The content to differentiate: [PASTE YOUR ORIGINAL TEXT HERE] Format each version with a clear header and maintain the same core concepts across all three levels. WHY THIS WORKS: It uses the S.P.A.R.K. principle of Prompt Transparency - you can see exactly how the input shapes the output. The Role + Context + Task + Format + Constraints structure gives the AI everything it needs to produce usable content. We used this exact structure when building curriculum for our programs at Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston. The difference between a vague prompt and a structured one is the difference between useless output and something you can actually hand to students. Try it this week and share your results in Wins and Showcases. We want to see what you build.

Tool Spotlight: Bobby Browser - Safe AI Browsing for the Classroom
One of the biggest concerns teachers share with us: How do I let students use AI tools without exposing them to inappropriate content or data collection? That is exactly the problem Bobby Browser solves. And it is exactly why we partnered with them to build this community together. Bobby Browser is a safe AI browsing tool built specifically for educational settings. Here is what makes it different: What it does: - Provides a filtered, safe AI browsing environment for students - Blocks inappropriate content while still giving access to AI tools - Gives teachers oversight and control over student AI interactions Why teachers love it: - Peace of mind - students can explore AI without risk - Easy setup - works in your existing browser - Compliance-friendly - designed with FERPA/COPPA in mind Here is what matters most: Bobby Browser is one of the two organizations behind this community, alongside Crafting Tomorrow. We built Future Proofed Teachers together because we believe teachers need both the skills (that is us, Crafting Tomorrow) and the safe tools (that is Bobby Browser) to bring AI into the classroom responsibly. We have seen firsthand what happens when students get access to AI without guardrails. And we have seen what happens when they get the right tools with the right framework. The difference is everything. Want to try it? Visit bobbybrowser.com Have you used Bobby Browser? Drop your review below - we want to hear what is working and what we can improve.

The S.P.A.R.K. Method: Our Framework for Ethical AI Use
Everything in this community is built on the S.P.A.R.K. Method - Crafting Tomorrows ethical AI framework designed specifically for education. We did not create S.P.A.R.K. because it sounded good on a slide. We built it because after working with 200+ students across multiple communities, we kept seeing the same gap: teachers and students had access to AI tools but no repeatable thinking process for using them responsibly. Here is what S.P.A.R.K. stands for: S - Skepticism Question all outputs that are foreign. AI sounds confident even when it is wrong. The first skill every student and teacher needs is the reflex to ask: Is this actually true? P - Prompt Transparency Understand what inputs result in certain outputs. AI is not magic - it is pattern matching. When you understand how your prompt shaped the response, you gain control over the tool instead of being controlled by it. Always show your prompts. A - Analogies Learn through analogous concepts intertwined to topics students are already knowledgeable of. The best way to teach AI concepts is by connecting them to things students already understand. Neural networks are like decision trees. Training data is like the books you have read shaping your worldview. R - Research Verify with multiple sources to overcome hallucinations. Never take an AI output at face value. Cross-reference. Fact-check. Teach students that verification IS the skill - not just the AI prompt. K - Knowledge Gaps Highlight and reflect on uncertainties. AI does not know what it does not know - and neither do we unless we actively reflect. The most powerful learning happens when students identify where their understanding breaks down. S.P.A.R.K. is not just a poster on the wall - it is a thinking process. Every module in our Classroom tab integrates these principles. Every discussion in this community comes back to responsible, informed AI use. This is the foundation of everything we do at Crafting Tomorrow. And we are only getting started.

Quick Poll: What Grade Level Do You Teach?
We are building this community for YOU. And to make sure everything we create - the classroom modules, the discussions, the live workshops - actually serves the people in the room, we need to know who is here. Drop your grade level below: Pre-K / Elementary (K-5) Middle School (6-8) High School (9-12) Higher Ed / College Admin / Instructional Coach Other (tell us!) Bonus question: What subject(s) do you teach? At Crafting Tomorrow, we have been working primarily with high school students through our AI literacy programs at Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston. But we know this community spans every level. The more we understand who is here, the better we can tailor what comes next. This matters. Let us hear from you.

AI Acceptable Use Policy Template (Copy and Customize)
One of the biggest requests we get from teachers: How do I write an AI policy for my school? We hear you. And honestly, this is one of the most important things you can do right now. AI is already in your buildings whether there is a policy or not. Having a clear framework gives teachers confidence and gives students guardrails. Here is a starter template you can customize. This is NOT legal advice - run it by your admin and district. But it gives you a real foundation to build from. SCHOOL AI ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY - TEMPLATE Purpose: This policy establishes guidelines for the responsible use of artificial intelligence tools in [School/District Name] for both educators and students. Approved AI Tools: [List specific tools approved by your district, e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, MagicSchool, Bobby Browser] For Educators: - AI may be used to assist with lesson planning, differentiation, and administrative tasks - All AI-generated content must be reviewed for accuracy and bias before use with students - Student names, grades, and personal information must NEVER be entered into public AI tools - Teachers should disclose AI use when appropriate to model transparency For Students: - AI tools may only be used when explicitly permitted by the teacher for a specific assignment - Students must cite AI use in their work (suggested format: Generated with [Tool Name], edited by [Student Name]) - AI outputs must be verified against reliable sources - Copying AI output without modification, verification, or citation is considered academic dishonesty Data Privacy: - Only district-approved AI tools that comply with FERPA and COPPA may be used - No personally identifiable student information may be shared with AI tools - Teachers are responsible for reviewing the privacy policies of any AI tool before classroom use Review: This policy will be reviewed annually and updated as technology evolves. Adapted from the S.P.A.R.K. ethical AI framework by Crafting Tomorrow. Feel free to copy this, modify it for your school, and share with your admin team. We built this because we kept hearing the same question from educators who wanted to move forward but needed something concrete to start with.
