✅ Results:
📚 Academic Source:
Master prompt engineering techniques and build AI-powered workflows that scale your impact 3-5x.
Transform basic prompts into powerful instructions using CLEAR:
Give background about your situation, constraints, and goals
Example: "I'm a primary teacher with 28 students across 6 reading levels. Budget: $0. Time: 30 mins/day for differentiation."
Specify desired output length and format
Example: "Provide 3 bullet points (max 20 words each) or a 200-word implementation plan"
Show what good output looks like (few-shot learning)
Example: "Like this sample: [paste previous good result]"
Define who will consume this output
Example: "For 8-year-old students" or "For school board presentation"
Assign AI a specific expert persona
Example: "Act as an experienced literacy specialist with 15 years teaching primary grades"
💡 Power Move: Combine all 5 CLEAR elements for 10x better AI outputs. See template below.
**ROLE:** You are an expert with 15 years of experience solving **CONTEXT:** - My situation: [Describe your specific context] - My constraints: [Time, budget, resources] - My goal: [What success looks like] **AUDIENCE:** [Who will use this? Students? Administrators? Colleagues?] **LENGTH:** Provide [specific format: 3 bullet points OR 500-word guide OR step-by-step checklist] **EXAMPLES:** Here's what I've tried before that worked well: [Paste any successful previous approach] Based on the above, create a solution that: 1. Solves: 2. Delivers: 3. Can be implemented in: [Your timeframe]
Create 3 CLEAR prompts for your most time-consuming tasks. Save them in a doc.
Test prompts, note what works. Add examples of best outputs to improve future results.
Chain prompts together (output of Prompt 1 → input for Prompt 2). Build your AI assembly line.
Build custom AI systems, integrate Copilot workflows, and create profession-specific GPTs that 10x your capabilities.
Yes, even if you do not code! Use Copilot for document automation, data analysis, and workflow scripts.
