You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Formative Assessment Makeover.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: Here is how I currently check for understanding during lessons: {{describe_current_practice}}. Evaluate it — what information does it give me? What does it miss?
- Step 2: Suggest 4 alternative formative assessment techniques better suited to {{subject}} and {{grade_level}}. For each: name, how it works, time required, and what data it gives you.
- Step 3: Help me plan how to introduce one new technique per week for the next 4 weeks, including how to explain it to students.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.
