The next step is clear
See how it connects.
Here is where to start, what to review and what you can make next.
Choose what students must show
Start with the saved curriculum wording. Related content can help explain what each criterion means.
See the curriculum map →Describe the levels of work
Keep the official wording in C. Use the 4Cs and Auto Assign suggestions to help build the other bands, then check and lock the guide.
Meet the 4Cs →Build the task from the guide
Use the locked guide to shape an assessment. The task should give students a way to show the skills in the guide.

In the Planning Wizard, the guide stays linked to its curriculum map and assessments. In Lite, each resource stays in Your Documents and its conversation. It does not automatically join a Planning Wizard plan. Check the price before creating another paid resource.

Four questions to help describe student work.
Keep the official curriculum wording in C. Then use the 4Cs to help say what work in A, B, D and E looks like.
Cognition
What thinking will students do?
Keep the action from the official standard while describing the thinking it takes.
Complexity
What makes the work stronger?
Describe the quality, depth and independence you expect.
Context
Where will students use the skill?
Add a useful setting or example when the curriculum provides one.
Want a starting point? Try Auto Assign.
It suggests wording for A. Check each suggestion, or choose the details yourself one sentence at a time.
Find a theme
AI looks at the related curriculum content and suggests a theme for the criteria.
Pick possible details
It suggests 4Cs details for each sentence. These are suggestions to check, not proof that the wording fits.
Draft the A band
Auto Assign adds those details to A. You build B, D and E in later steps.
Keep, change or undo
Use Show Changes to read each edit. Undo anything you disagree with, then finish the other bands and checks before locking.
See what you can build
A closer look, step by step.
Look at a saved Measurement criterion: converting between time shown in 12 or 24 hours.
Start with the official C wording
The builder shows the saved standard for each criterion. Here, the Measurement criterion starts with converting between time shown in 12 or 24 hours. Build the other bands around that same skill.
The C band before work begins on A. Choose details with the 4Cs
Select a sentence to see ways to make the A band more specific. Related curriculum content appears with source codes. The suggestions are yours to accept, change or skip.
A Measurement sentence with suggestions linked to the curriculum. Say what stronger work looks like
The 4Cs cover content, thinking, quality and where the skill is used. In the Complexity choices, look for words that describe better work without changing the skill being assessed.
Quality choices in the 4Cs workspace. Try Auto Assign, then check its work
In this real example, Auto Assign suggested changes to four sentences. You can see what it added or removed and why. Use Show Changes, undo one sentence or Undo All before saving A.
Auto Assign suggestions for four sentences. Read the bands side by side
Compare the bands with C and finish the checks before locking. This separate saved guide shows A, B and C for the same Measurement standard.

Why TeaCheese?
What does TeaCheese add to a ChatGPT draft?
ChatGPT can help you draft teaching ideas. TeaCheese puts the curriculum choices, resource settings, teacher review and downloads in one place. Here is what that looks like for this tool.
The official C wording stays put
You work on A, B, D and E while the saved C wording stays protected.
Checks help before you lock
Review any issues and suggested fixes. If a check cannot decide, you need to try it again before locking.
Use the guide again
A locked guide can help build an assessment and can be downloaded as a Word document.
Both need a teacher check. What ChatGPT can do depends on the tools and setup you use. See OpenAI’s education examples.
Practical details
Make it work for your class.
Keep the official wording in C
The C band keeps the saved curriculum wording. Criteria you write yourself are clearly marked as written by the teacher.
Review each band
Edit A, B, D and E. See where suggestions came from and use the checks to spot problems. If a check cannot decide, try it again before locking.
Carry decisions into assessment
Lock the guide when you're happy with it, then use it to build an assessment. The checks help you review; your school's approval rules still apply.
