Meeting the needs of every student in the DP can be a challenge, especially given the rigorous academic demands of the programme and the diverse language profiles of students. This task is further complicated by the fact that all DP students, each with their unique strengths and weaknesses, are required to sit the same final exams.

To address these challenges, we have compiled a resource featuring 25+ prompts, fine-tuned for crafting personalised learning experiences that support you in meeting each of your students' needs.

Here's what you'll find inside:

ChatGPT prompts for inclusive learning: Explore 25+ prompts designed to meet the learning and language needs of all your students.

Keep an eye out for the '💡' icon as you navigate through this resource as it highlights insights about the prompt or how to use it in your classrooms.

Let's embrace the power of AI and enhance the way you approach inclusion in your DP classroom. We hope this resource becomes your ally on your journey towards more personalised and effective teaching.

ChatGPT for differentiation

Differentiation is altering teaching methods and learning activities to meet the diverse needs and learning styles of individual students. With ChatGPT, it's never been easier to shift from a one-size-fits-all approach to meeting each student where they are in their learning journey! In this section, let's unpack the essential components of an effective differentiation prompt to create tailored learning opportunities for your students.

Here are the key elements for constructing a differentiation prompt:

1. Persona: Define the role you want ChatGPT to assume. This helps the AI generate content aligned with the pedagogical standards of the IBDP.

2. Timeframe: Indicate the duration of the activity/lesson.

3. Level: Specify whether your students are SL or HL to ensure that the content, depth, and approach match the rigour and expectations of the chosen level.

4. Topic: Pinpoint the exact topic/subtopic you're addressing to ensure that the resources, strategies, or insights provided by ChatGPT are directly applicable to your lesson and resonate with the IBDP's comprehensive approach.

5. (Optional) Prior knowledge: Identify existing knowledge to refine the output.

6. Student profiles: Inform ChatGPT about your students' needs so it can make tailored suggestions to help you meet them.

Here is a template that incorporates all key elements in one prompt:

You are an experienced IBDP <subject> educator. Design a <timeframe> lesson for <SL/HL> students on <topic/subtopic>. The students are already familiar with <prior learning>. The lesson should meet the needs of all the students in the class: <detail student profiles here>.
The lesson must ensure every student is engaged, but the tasks may be different depending on students' needs.

Using the above template, you can seamlessly input the desired persona, timeframe, level, topic, prior knowledge and student profiles to generate a differentiated lesson that meets the needs of all your students.
A few important points to keep in mind:

The output quality is influenced by the version of ChatGPT you use. For instance, ChatGPT 4 typically provides more refined results compared to 3.5.

Even if you specify a timeframe, it may not always meet your requirements. Don't hesitate to correct the bot!

For Group 2 subjects, be specific in your prompt. ChatGPT may not always equate Language B with a foreign language. Mention the proficiency level (e.g., A2 to B1 for ab initio, B1 or B2 for SL, and B2 or C1 for HL) to ensure the most accurate lesson plans.

The beauty of ChatGPT lies in its interactive nature. Don't hesitate to ask follow-up questions to refine the responses or request additional resources.

You can also feed excerpts of the content you want it to focus on to get even more focused and tailored outputs.

ChatGPT for adaptive teaching

Traditional differentiation caters to students at an individual level, while adaptive teaching includes actively responding to student feedback and performance to tailor the educational experience. This approach addresses the class as a whole, fostering high expectations, self-reliance, and challenging all students equally, without segregating them into predetermined groups.

Adaptive teaching involves a three-step approach:

1. Gauging where your students are at every point of their learning journey so you can adapt your planning.

2. Using the insights gained from quick formative assessments to course-correct your lesson planning in real-time.

3. Knowing your students and their unique needs so you can engage them at the level that best suits them.

Prompts to track student learning

Below are four prompts to quickly assess where your students are in their learning journeys.

Critiquing sample responses
You are an experienced IBDP <subject> educator. Provide a sample response to the prompt/question <question> but include 3 subtle errors which students will need to find.

💡This prompt is multifaceted. You can adapt it so students have to compare 2 sample responses, comment on the style and quality of the argument, the appropriate use of terminology, the accuracy of the information, find bias, etc.

ChatGPT to empower students

Incorporating adaptive teaching not only involves educators guiding the learning journey but also empowering students to take control of it. This can be achieved by developing self-management skills through effective AI prompt crafting and fostering a culture of choice in the classroom, enabling personalised and engaged learning experiences.

Prompts to develop self-management skills

Understanding the art of crafting a prompt empowers your students to use AI tools like ChatGPT meaningfully, enhancing their learning experience through independent exploration and thoughtful application.

To get the most out of their prompt, here are different elements your students should incorporate:

1. Persona: Clearly define your role as a student of an IBDP subject.

2. Level: Specify whether you are an SL or an HL student to ensure the information has the right degree of depth and difficulty.

3. Topic: Identify the exact topic/subtopic you're studying to ensure that the responses provided by ChatGPT are directly applicable to your lesson and resonate with the IBDP's comprehensive approach.

4. (Optional) Lesson material: Share your lesson material so ChatGPT can tailor its output precisely to what you are learning in class.

5. Command term: Let ChatGPT know the exact kind of help you need. Is it to explain? Rephrase? Simplify? Debate? Summarise?

Here is a template that incorporates all key elements in one prompt:

I am an IBDP <subject> <SL/HL> student, currently studying <topic>.
Explain why...

💡Ask students to share an answer to one of their prompts with a partner/with you at the end of the lesson as a plenary task.
Further practice
I am an IBDP <subject> <HL/SL> student. Can you create <number> <practice questions/essay questions/MCQs> to help me practise <topic>?
Immediate feedback on a response
I am an IBDP <subject> <HL/SL> student. Can you check my response to <task/question> and provide me with feedback on how I can improve it?
<paste response here>
<If there is a rubric, paste the rubric here>

Prompts to foster a culture of choice

"When students received a choice of homework they reported higher intrinsic motivation to do homework, felt more competent regarding the homework, and performed better on the unit test compared with when they did not have a choice. In addition, a trend suggested that having choices enhanced homework completion rates compared with when no choices were given."
Patall, Cooper, & Wynn, 2010

Here are two prompts to give your students a choice of how they want to showcase their learning followed by a case study to demonstrate how these prompts can be incorporated in a Math AA class.
Homework menus
You are an experienced IBDP <subject> educator. Suggest <number> independent and generic homework tasks that could be applied to any topic so students can choose to evidence their learning in different ways.
Empowering students through assessments
You are an experienced IBDP <subject> educator. Suggest <number> assessment tasks that could be applied to any topic so students can choose to evidence their learning in different ways. with each task containing linked components leading from lower levels to higher levels so students can understand how lower-order knowledge can be developed and used in higher-order thinking.

Case study: Fostering student agency in the DP classroom

Background: You are a DP2 Mathematics AA SL educator, teaching a mixed-ability class of 20 students.

Challenge: Some students find it difficult to engage with abstract concepts and apply them to problem-solving. Some students see themselves as poor mathematicians. The class is big and the teacher isn't able to respond to every students' needs in every lesson. With the amount of content to cover for the final exams, the teacher doesn't always have time to re-teach material.

Implementation:

You spend a lesson teaching students how to query ChatGPT for clarifications, step-by-step problem-solving guides, and extra exercises.
Purpose: With ChatGPT, your students are less reliant on you for immediate assistance.

You have introduced a homework menu, created by ChatGPT, at the start of the academic year. Each week, your students select one of the generic homework tasks and tailor it to the unit or concepts taught.
Purpose: Your students are more likely to complete the homework as they can choose how to demonstrate their learning. They are more engaged and more confident.

Assessment choices: At the end of a unit, you conduct an assessment. With the help of ChatGPT, you present students with 3 or 4 different options. Each assessment task represents a different level of difficulty, linked to the grade descriptors.
Purpose: Your students choose their own level of challenge and their own assessment modality. This helps those with assessment anxiety to feel more in control and the process is more authentic. This strategy not only builds confidence and engagement but also proves beneficial as you all move towards final exam preparation.

Outcome: This fosters a growth mindset in your mathematics classroom. You have buy-in and your students are more engaged.
Key takeaways: Creating the homework menu took less than 20 minutes. Creating different assessment modalities is efficient with the help of ChatGPT.
