What PLAI™ knows
Start with the pathway you teach.
Planning for an IGCSE class is different from preparing an IB Diploma discussion or supporting a learner’s transition into a new programme. Name your course and year group, then describe the thinking you want students to demonstrate.

What would help your next class?
Plan the lesson
Move from finding evidence to explaining it.
Give students something worth discussing, then build in time to explain why their evidence matters.
Your lesson prompt ↗
Help me plan a discussion around a short source I will provide. First ask for my subject, year group, programme and learning objective. Include an opening question, a paired evidence discussion and an independent response. Do not invent quotations or assessment criteria.

Build the practice

Move from an initial response to an explanation you can inspect. Add support where it helps without giving away the answer.
Open the worksheet prompt ↗
Using the source and objective I provide, draft a worksheet with spaces for a claim, supporting evidence, explanation and one limitation. Keep all quoted material faithful to the source.

Questions about using PLAI™ at ACS (International) Singapore
Should I specify IGCSE or IB Diploma in my prompt?
Yes. Add your subject, year group and the programme you teach. Include the current objective or criteria you are permitted to use; the school name alone does not identify your course.
How can I support a learner joining a new programme?
Describe the task and the support needed, such as subject vocabulary or a clearer response structure. Keep the intended reasoning intact and avoid assumptions about ability from a learner’s previous curriculum.
Can I use this for a bridging or Foundation IB class?
Name the actual pathway and learning objective for your class. Ask for a suitable starting task rather than automatically using IGCSE or Diploma assessment demands.
Will a draft follow my department’s marking criteria?
Do not assume it will. Supply only criteria you are permitted to share, ask for gaps to be flagged and check the draft yourself. Do not include identifiable student work.
Is this an official school page?
No. This is an independent TopSchool page, not a school endorsement or partnership claim.
Does selecting my school give me school access?
No. Selecting a school or sharing a valid public link does not verify membership or grant access to private materials.
Bring the response you want students to build.
Start with a source, a learning goal and your class context. Review the draft with your own teaching judgement.
