You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Lesson Observation Reflection Guide.

# Context
Original working context:
- Help me reflect on a lesson I recently taught. Context: {{describe}}. Structure my reflection using:
- 1. What did I plan vs. what actually happened?
- 2. What did student behaviour and work tell me about their learning?
- 3. What would I do differently and why?
- 4. What does this lesson tell me about my teaching practice more broadly?
- 5. What is one concrete change I'll make in my next lesson?

# 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.

When to use

After teaching a challenging or notable lesson — structured reflection drives more learning than vague thinking.

PRO TIP

Write this reflection within 24 hours of the lesson — the details fade fast and 48-hour reflections are more generalised.
