k12-lesson-differentiation

k12-lesson-differentiation is a Lesson planning & curriculum skill for AI agents, published by anthropics in the k12-teacher-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates k12-lesson-differentiation B (87/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Adapts an existing K-12 lesson (math, ELA, science, or social studies) for students at different proficiency levels (below / at / above grade level). Load this skill BEFORE asking the teacher any clarifying question about the lesson, tiers, or student levels. Triggers on explicit asks to differentiate, tier, or scaffold a lesson, and on implicit signals like "my students are at different levels". Produces 1 teacher-facing differentiation plan + 3 student-ready tier documents as editable Word documents in a single output turn, rendered from one material-source JSON via bundled scripts (shared content is written once so tiers cannot drift). Uses the Learning Commons Knowledge Graph when connected; works without it. This skill adapts a lesson the teacher brings or names. Not for creating a new lesson from scratch — a new-lesson request that asks for differentiated or leveled materials is k12-lesson-planning's job, one package. Not for grading, rubrics, assessment feedback, or quizzes.
