Agent Skills for K-12 Teachers

Anthropic's official K-12 teaching skills — lesson planning, differentiation, prep and formative checks, with an eval framework.

Skills & Commandsofficialanthropiceducationskillsteacherslesson-planning

Source and evaluation framework for the agent skills shipped in Claude for Teachers: k12-lesson-plan-creation (standards-aligned lesson plans), k12-lesson-differentiation (tiered below/at/above versions plus student-needs adaptations with consistent core content), k12-lesson-prep (a prep partner that works through the key student task and leaves a teacher-only note), and k12-check-for-understanding (1–3 item math checks with distractors drawn from documented misconceptions). Co-developed with Learning Commons.

What it does

  • Four production skills, not demos — they are the same skills bundled with Claude for Teachers
  • Standards grounding via the Learning Commons Knowledge Graph connector, covering academic standards across all 50 US states and the progressions beneath them
  • Differentiation keeps core content identical across tiers; check-for-understanding routes each student response to a documented next step
  • evals/ ships the evaluation framework itself, adaptable to your own skill testing

When to use it

For teachers (or the developers of teacher tooling) who want ground-truth examples of task-shaped skills: concrete instructions, external knowledge grounding, and measurable outputs. Also a rare public look at how Anthropic evals non-coding skills.

Getting started

In Claude for Teachers: already installed. Elsewhere, load the plugin manually in Claude Code:

git clone https://github.com/anthropics/k12-teacher-skills
claude plugin marketplace add ./k12-teacher-skills
claude plugin install k12-education@k12-teacher-skills

Things to know

The skills are written assuming the Learning Commons Knowledge Graph connector (included with Claude for Teachers); the README tells you to adapt them if your environment lacks it. US-standards-centric — other curricula need re-grounding.
