ASSIGNMENT DESIGN COACH
Design assignments with purpose.
The Assignment Design Coach guides educators through a structured conversation about assignment purpose, learning, assessment, and the thoughtful use of AI.
It starts with one question
Before thinking about format, length, or rubrics, the coach asks: “What is the work for?”
From there, the coach guides educators through a reflective conversation about their assignment goals, their students, and the learning they want to happen. The aim is not a faster rubric, but a clearer, more intentional assignment.
Begin with purpose
Reflect on what the assignment is meant to help students learn, do, or become.
Refine the design
Work through prompts that clarify goals, expectations, and student support.
Think critically
Use AI as a conversational partner, not a replacement for your judgment.
