Module 2: Prompt, Context, and Workflow Engineering - Worked Examples

Agentic Engineering for Teaching Professionals

These examples move from bounded AI assistance toward reusable teaching workflows. Adapt every prompt to the participant's actual subject, institution, learner level, evidence, and authorized tools rather than treating any template as universally correct.

From “Make a Lesson Plan” to T-E-A-C-H

A teacher needs a 50-minute introductory lesson. Supplied notes cover identifying a claim and locating supporting evidence. Learners can read short paragraphs; internet access is unavailable. Turn "Make a lesson plan" into a testable T-E-A-C-H request.

Hands-On Lab — Build and Test a T-E-A-C-H Master Prompt

Activity goal: Convert one recurring teaching task into a reusable T-E-A-C-H template and test it against normal, incomplete, and edge cases.

Required evidence and deliverables:

  • A reusable T-E-A-C-H prompt with placeholders.
  • An explicit output contract.
  • A three-case evaluation set: normal, missing-information, and edge/failure case.
  • A revision log showing at least one improvement after testing.
  • A final verification checklist for the educator.

Assessment rubric — 25 points

CriterionPointsRequired evidence
T-E-A-C-H completeness5All five elements are explicit and operational.
Context discipline5Authoritative evidence is separated from instructions and irrelevant context is excluded.
Output contract5The requested result is structured and reviewable.
Evaluation quality5Test cases reveal meaningful success/failure behavior.
Revision and verification5Changes respond to observed failures and preserve human review.
