# Context
Original working context:
- πŸ”· STRUCTURED THE PROMPT Act as an instructional coach. Generate 20 reflective journal prompts for a {{subject}} teacher at {{experience_level}} to deepen professional reflection. Categories:
- 1. Lesson reflection (5 prompts) β€” analysing what worked and why,
- 2. Student learning (5 prompts) β€” examining evidence of student understanding,
- 3. Belief and assumption (5 prompts) β€” questioning underlying assumptions about teaching and students,
- 4. Professional growth (5 prompts) β€” identifying patterns in development over time. Each prompt should provoke genuine thinking, not report-writing.

# Goal

# 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.
