1

Identify students needing support

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to turn your course outline into lecture notes, worked examples, discussion prompts, and a timing plan for the next class. It can tailor examples to what students struggled with last time and help you check that the material still matches the syllabus.

Where you stay involved

You choose the examples, decide how to explain the material, and adjust the lesson in the room based on student understanding. You also handle any special accommodation or content issue that needs personal judgment.

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
