Extension-Enabled Professional Development

Learning about Learning — Reflection, Transfer & Accountability

D4 measures your capacity to learn from the project, not just in it. What you do with the AI’s analysis of your own artefacts is the evidence. Accepting it uncritically scores Level 1; critically annotating with subject-specific knowledge scores Level 3+.
Level 1–2
Accepts AI patterns without annotation, or rejects by intuition. New-tool evaluation lists features. All three communications use the same language.
Level 3
Rejections cite specific subject-pedagogical knowledge the AI lacked. New tool evaluation identifies A/B/C type + boundary. Parent communication explains limits without jargon.
Level 4
Self-analysis identifies a pattern not noticed before — genuine cognitive extension. New tool evaluated in under 30 min with tested failure mode. Administrator communication connects AI to curriculum outcomes.
4 TASKS What you will produce on Day 4
01 AI-Assisted Self-Analysis
LOG-F≥600 words

Upload your Phase 1–3 artefacts to an AI assistant. Ask it to identify patterns in your work — recurring themes, thinking evolution, blind spots. Be generous with the prompt; let the AI do real work here.

Then annotate every single insight it offers with one of three tags:

  • Accepted — the pattern is real and you agree with the framing. Nothing to add.
  • Modified — the pattern is partly real but the AI’s framing is off in a way you can name. Write the modification.
  • Rejected — the pattern is not real, or is an artefact of how the AI reads your work. State the subject-specific reason the AI could not have known.

At least two rejections must identify an echo-chamber effect — point at a specific “insight” and say: “This is the AI repeating back to me the ed-tech framing I wrote in. It isn’t telling me about my teaching; it’s telling me about the language I write about my teaching in.”

Write at least 600 words. This is a reflection artefact, not a report — write it in your own voice.

Evaluation criteria: D4.1 AI-Assisted Professional Reflection
02 New AI Tool Evaluation Report
LOG-BTimed ≤45 min

You will be assigned an AI tool you have not used before. Set a 45-minute timer. Evaluate the tool using the Day 1 A/B/C taxonomy and the Day 2 boundary analysis habits. At the end of 45 minutes, write a report with:

  • Extension type(s) — A, B, or C in your subject? Could it be different types in different activities?
  • Boundary conditions — where would you not use this tool? At least three situations.
  • Pedagogical potential — the best thing this tool could do for a student in your subject.
  • Primary risk — the most likely way this tool could quietly harm learning if used without attention.
  • Adoption recommendation — would you use it, and in what role?

The time constraint is the point. Level 4 requires completion in under 30 minutes. This is a stress test for whether the evaluation habits from Days 1 and 2 have become reflexive.

03 Three Stakeholder Communications
3 × ≤200 words

Take one AI-related decision from Phase 3 (real, traceable to your decision log). Write three short communications about that decision — maximum 200 words each:

  1. To a student in your class — age-appropriate, honest about what the tool did and didn’t do, positions them as a thinker not a consumer.
  2. To a parent or carer — plain-language, addresses “is this safe, is this replacing teaching” without jargon, honest about limits.
  3. To an administrator or department head — curriculum-and-outcomes language, connects the decision to learning outcomes, names the evidence.

All three must specify the extension type, the decision rationale, and the AI’s limits. What they must not do is read like three cut-and-paste versions of each other. The language has to be demonstrably different.

Evaluation criteria: D4.3 Extension Accountability Communication
04 3-Month Professional Development Plan
LOG-F≥3 goals, coded

A plan with at least three goals for your next three months. Code each goal:

  • Self-identified — you noticed this gap from your own reflection on Phases 1–3.
  • AI-proposed — came from the Task 1 self-analysis (an Accepted or Modified insight).
  • Modified-from-AI — the AI raised it, you restructured it materially before adopting it.

For each goal, include a verification method — how will you know in 3 months whether you’ve actually grown? “I’ll feel more confident” is not a verification method. “I’ll run a Day 2-style prompt log on a new unit and compare the rationale quality” is.

At least one goal must address a specific limitation from your Phase 1–3 work. If every goal is forward-looking without touching what actually went thin this week, you haven’t really learned from your own material.

Primary evidence
Phase 4 · Self-Analysis with Annotated AI Transcript
Key question
Are rejections grounded in subject-specific professional knowledge?
1 — Nascent
Uses AI to generate PD plans without critical evaluation. Does not distinguish AI-proposed insights from own judgment. Cannot identify echo-chamber effects.
2 — Developing
Occasionally questions AI insights but rationale is inconsistent. Partial integration of AI-proposed and self-identified growth areas. Recognises echo-chamber risk conceptually but cannot reliably identify it.
3 — Proficient
Systematically annotates AI insights (accepted / modified / rejected) with explicit reasoning. Integrates growth areas with clear articulation. Identifies echo-chamber effects and adjusts prompting to introduce productive tension.
Anchor: ≥2 rejections cite professional knowledge; ≥2 echo-chamber identifications with explanation.
4 — Advanced
Facilitates AI-assisted peer reflection processes. Contributes to institutional frameworks for AI-supported PD. Uses longitudinal AI reflection data critically to track and verify own growth.
p4t1AI-Assisted Self-AnalysisLOG-F
≥600 words. Upload Phase 1–3 artefacts to an AI assistant; ask it to identify patterns. Annotate every insight as Accepted / Modified / Rejected with subject-specific reasoning. ≥2 rejections must identify an echo-chamber effect.
  • AI transcript is included — evaluator can see what the AI said
  • Every AI insight has an explicit annotation, not just disagreements
  • Echo-chamber identifications explain how the AI is reflecting back rather than analysing
D4.2 Extension-Transfer Capability Universal meta-capability
Primary evidence
Phase 4 · New Tool Evaluation Report (timed)
Key question
Is the evaluation rapid, structured, and independent of vendor materials?
1 — Nascent
Must relearn from scratch with new tools. Relies on vendor tutorials. Has no evaluation framework for pedagogical appropriateness.
2 — Developing
Transfers some skills across similar tools; inconsistently applies A/B/C. Partially independent from vendor claims. Requires significant time per new tool.
3 — Proficient
Rapidly evaluates new tools using A/B/C taxonomy and boundary analysis. Independently tests claims against pedagogical experimentation. Functional with new tools within a time frame that keeps pace with tool releases.
Anchor: Completed in ≤45 min; uses A/B/C taxonomy; names subject-specific boundary condition.
4 — Advanced
Develops evaluation frameworks applicable across tool generations. Contributes to institutional adoption processes. Maintains a curated, critically annotated tool repository; updates systematically.
p4t2New AI Tool Evaluation ReportLOG-B
Evaluate an assigned tool not previously used. ≤45 min, timed. Apply A/B/C taxonomy + boundary analysis. State extension type(s), boundary conditions, pedagogical potential, primary risk, adoption recommendation.
  • Tool was genuinely new to the teacher
  • Timing evidence present (timestamps or stated duration)
  • A/B/C classification applied, not just feature evaluation
  • Recommendation grounded in this unit’s needs, not personal preference
D4.3 Extension Accountability Communication B/C-type application
Primary evidence
Phase 4 · Three Stakeholder Communications
Key question
Are communications audience-calibrated and do they specify extension type and limits?
1 — Nascent
Cannot explain AI’s role in specific decisions. Uses vague language (“AI helped me”) without specifying type, rationale, or limits. No proactive disclosure.
2 — Developing
Describes AI use in general terms. Reactive accountability only. Communication inconsistent across stakeholders.
3 — Proficient
Proactively explains extension type, decision rationale, and boundary conditions to all stakeholders in accessible language. Documentation complete and coherent. Communication consistent and audience-appropriate.
Anchor: All three name extension type and limits; language demonstrably differs across audiences.
4 — Advanced
Develops communication templates and protocols at school level. Contributes to institutional transparency policies. Uses accountability communication as a reflective tool — stakeholder questions prompt review of AI decisions.
p4t3Three Stakeholder Communications
Student, parent, administrator. Each must specify: extension type, decision rationale, AI’s limits. Language must be demonstrably different across audiences.
  • Three documents recognisably different in register, not just in header
  • Extension types named in audience-appropriate language
  • Limits are honest, not “AI is perfectly safe”
p4t43-Month PD PlanLOG-F
Code each goal as AI-proposed / self-identified / modified-from-AI. Include a verification method for each. ≥1 goal addresses a specific Phase 1–3 limitation.
  • Goals are coded — teacher is transparent about the source
  • Each goal has a concrete verification method
  • At least one goal addresses a limitation from Phases 1–3
