Use the AI you already like. Keep the lesson gradeable.

Before you begin

In your AI's Settings or Apps menu, connect Google Drive or Google Workspace using the account where you want the Form stored. Confirm that the connection can create and edit Google Forms. A connection that can only read files from Google Drive is not enough. Your school administrator may need to approve the connection.

How it works

Follow these four steps.

1. Step 1: Choose what to create

   Choose a lesson or an assessment. The prompt will create the content and build the private Google Form for you.

   Create a lesson

   Copy prompt

   Create a complete lesson directly in a private Google Form.

   Read full prompt

   Follow the Teacher OS AI-Compatible Authoring Protocol:

   You will create and maintain a private Google Form in my connected Google Workspace. Teacher OS will later grade from the linked response Sheet, so each question must remain understandable when its full prompt becomes a Sheet column header.
   
   Before asking content questions, confirm that your connection can create and later edit an existing Google Form in my connected account. Reading Google Drive files is not enough. If you cannot create and edit Google Forms, say so in one short sentence and stop. Do not generate a long text-only substitute or claim that a Form exists.
   
   If the capability is available, ask one concise set of questions about only the missing teacher decisions that would materially affect the result, such as course, grade level, topic, learning goals, duration, difficulty, question count, accommodations, and whether feedback emails will be sent. Do not silently invent those decisions. Do not request, include, or infer student names, emails, responses, or other student data.
   
   Create a lesson using the teacher's approved goals and constraints. The lesson may include brief instructional text and checks for understanding, but every item intended for grading must follow the protocol. Keep the lesson appropriate for the stated learners and duration. Do not turn missing instructional decisions into confident assumptions.
   
   After I answer, create the finished lesson or assessment directly in one private, teacher-owned Google Form. Do not paste a full draft into the conversation first unless I ask.
   
   Build and verify the Form using these rules:
   - Add a clear Form title, short description, directions, and sections in order.
   - Require a "First and Last Name" short-answer field. Collect verified email only if I will send feedback. Keep question shuffling off, enable the progress bar, and preserve each required or optional setting.
   - Give every gradable item a unique, sequential heading in this exact pattern: "Question [number] - [meaningful title]". Put that heading and the complete prompt together in one Google Forms question title so they become one Sheet column header. Do not restart numbering in a new section.
   - Make every question self-contained. Include all scenario, source text, code, data, task, evidence requirements, and response expectations in the question itself. Do not place essential grading context only in an image, link, video, section description, or earlier question.
   - Use multiple choice, short answer, paragraph, or checkboxes only when the stored response remains interpretable. Do not use file upload, linear scale, grid, date, or time as a graded item.
   - For each multiple-choice item, use complete A-D choices such as "A. answer text" rather than bare letters. Use exactly one clearly best answer and plausible distractors. Randomize correct-answer positions across the complete set, then verify the answer key and answer text still agree. Set correct answers and points when the Form is a quiz and those controls are available.
   - For short-answer and paragraph items, state what a complete response must explain, show, compare, justify, or include.
   - Preserve meaningful line breaks and indentation in source text and code, while keeping the result durable as plain text.
   - Keep the Form private and not accepting responses until I review it. Do not share or publish it.
   - Create and link a response Sheet when supported. If linking is not supported, give only this manual checkpoint: open the Form, select Responses, select Link to Sheets, choose Create a new spreadsheet, and confirm Create.
   
   Before finishing, silently run the Teacher OS cold-read check: confirm that each future Sheet column header and response cell will carry enough information for reliable grading. Fix any issue you can. Mention only an unresolved blocker.
   
   Return only a short receipt with the Form edit link, the responder link labeled "not ready to share," and the linked response Sheet link or manual-linking status. Do not return a separate lesson package, answer-key package, rubric, distractor analysis, readiness report, or setup checklist unless I ask.
   
   For later change requests in this conversation, edit this same private Form directly. Preserve its links and settings, rerun the compatibility check silently, and reply with only a brief confirmation of the change and the Form edit link. Never publish or turn on response collection without my explicit instruction.

   Create an assessment

   Copy prompt

   Create a complete assessment directly in a private Google Form.

   Create an assessment using the teacher's approved goals and constraints. Balance coverage and difficulty intentionally, avoid trick wording, and make each item measure a clear learning target. Do not reveal answers in question titles or nearby student-facing text. Do not turn missing assessment decisions into confident assumptions.

Never publish or turn on response collection without my explicit instruction.

2. Step 2: Create the Google Form

   Select Copy prompt, open the AI you already use, and paste the prompt into a new conversation. Answer its short questions about what you want to teach or assess. The AI will create a private Form and give you the link. Do not provide student names, responses, or other student data.

3. Step 3: Review and make changes

   Open the Form and review it. In the same AI conversation, describe any change you want. The AI should update the existing private Form and keep it compatible with the Grading Workspace. Continue until the lesson or assessment is ready.

   Example:
   Make Question 4 easier for beginning ninth-grade students to understand. Keep the learning goal and difficulty the same. Update the Google Form.

4. Step 4: Create a PDF if needed

   When the Form is finished, use this optional prompt in the same AI conversation. The AI will create the PDF from the final Form.

   Generate the PDF

   Copy prompt

   Create a polished PDF from the final, teacher-reviewed Google Form.

   Read full prompt

   Create a polished, print-friendly PDF from the final Google Form we completed in this conversation.
   
   If you can access the final Google Form through my connected Google Workspace, read it there. If you cannot access it, ask me to paste the final Form content before continuing. Do not use an earlier draft from this conversation as a substitute. Do not rewrite, shorten, expand, reorder, or silently correct the final Form's instructional content. Do not include student names, student responses, or other student data. If you cannot create a downloadable PDF, say so clearly and do not claim that a file exists.
   
   Before generating the file, ask me one question: "Do you want a student copy, a teacher copy, or both?"
   
   For a student copy:
   - Include only the final student-facing content from the Google Form.
   - Preserve the title, directions, sections, question numbering, complete prompts, answer choices, response space, code formatting, and meaningful line breaks.
   - Exclude the answer key, rubric, distractor notes, suggested weights, and Teacher OS readiness report.
   
   For a teacher copy:
   - Include the complete final student-facing material from the Google Form first.
   - Start the answers on a new page labeled "Teacher Copy - Keep Private."
   - Include only answer keys, points, or scoring guidance that are present in or can be verified against the final Form. Do not invent missing grading guidance.
   
   Use a clean, accessible, print-friendly layout with readable type, clear section headings, consistent spacing, sensible page breaks, page numbers, and strong black-and-white contrast. Keep each question and its answer choices together when practical. Do not add decorative content that changes meaning or makes printing harder.
   
   Return each requested PDF as a downloadable file with a clear filename and one brief confirmation. Do not return the Form content again as a long chat response.

What you receive

A private Google Form and a short receipt with the Form and response Sheet links. The AI should not return separate authoring packages or readiness reports unless you ask for them.

Why the question format matters

Teacher OS grades from the linked Google response Sheet. Each Sheet column header must carry enough information to understand the question.

Every gradable item therefore begins with Question [number] - [title], uses a self-contained prompt, and uses a supported response type. Multiple-choice options include complete answer text, not bare A-D selections.

Valid and invalid examples

Valid

Question 4 - Algorithm Fairness. A school uses grades, attendance, and participation to choose one student for an award. Explain whether this algorithm is fair. Identify one useful factor, one important quality it may miss, and one way the result could be misleading.

Invalid

Question 4. Based on the situation above, is the algorithm fair? Explain your answer.

The invalid version depends on context outside the question and has no meaningful title, so the Sheet header is not enough for reliable grading.

Boundaries

Teacher OS does not send these prompts to an AI, store your authoring conversation, create files, or publish material for students. Your chosen AI may create files only through the permissions you give that provider. You review every result and remain in control of the teacher-owned files. Never place student responses or other student data in a personal-AI authoring conversation.
