I Built a Classroom Student Differentiation Machine - And It Works for Every Chapter!
You've just finished a unit assessment. Some kids aced it. Some missed a few objectives. Some missed a lot. Your district wants differentiation — meaning every student should be working on their specific gaps, at their reading level. In the past, that meant hours of sorting data and writing activities. Realistically? It meant one worksheet for everyone. Not anymore. I built an automated pipeline using Claude Cowork that turns my Google Forms results into a fully individualized, scaffolded review activity for every single student — formatted, named, and ready to print. Here's how it works. -- The Pipeline, Start to Finish I set up a custom skill in Claude Cowork — a saved set of instructions that knows my students, my curriculum objectives, and exactly how the output should look. I built it once. Now I just upload a CSV and say "run the gap analysis." Claude scores every student's assessment (MC automatically, free response on a 0/1/2 rubric), maps every wrong answer to a curriculum objective, and produces a color-coded Excel gap analysis with per-student scores, question breakdowns, and tier gap profiles. Then it generates one personalized .docx activity per student, targeted to that specific student's missed objectives. That's the part that still blows my mind. -- The Differentiation Is Real Every activity is built around what that student missed — not the class average, not a group. But here's what makes it truly scaffolded: the format is differentiated by NWEA reading tier. - Tier 1 gets matching tables, fill-in-the-blank, and word banks — concrete formats that reduce reading load — plus stretch questions pushing toward summarization - Tier 2 gets a matching warm-up, then short-answer with evidence prompts - Tier 3 gets analysis and comparison paragraph tasks - Tier 4 gets evaluation and synthesis essays Students who scored perfectly still get a robust activity — a 10-item matching section plus enrichment questions at their tier's depth. No one gets a pass, no one gets busywork.

This is amazing!
New Product Type and Special Offer.
Due to the success of the AI Detective Lab activity series, I have now begun to design new activities where students use AI as a tool and not a crutch. Check out our first AI Interview Product. This is hyper-specific to the lesson that I was teaching in World Geography this week. So it's probably not of much help to you. However... here's the offer! Comment on this post with a character that you would like to have your students interview for your class in a current or upcoming unit. Give me any context that you feel is necessary as well. I will then create an entirely FREE AI interview activity just for you! All I ask is for you to review that project for me on TPT! Other than that, no strings attached, and it's all yours. This is a FREE, robust, AI literacy project tailored to your unit. Do not pass this up! ✌️

I would like to have my students interview our Head of School about how to use the land that TCA owns across the road. They need to ask questions based on the principles that guide land use planning, the regulations in place because of the location of the land (as well as which local agencies have authority over land use), and also on the needs and wants of the school.
