Pro Tips for Assessment Generation

These tips make a noticeable difference in the quality of what TeachersFlow generates. They're based on how the AI actually uses your input — so understanding the logic behind each one helps.

Upload quality training documents

Upload assessments you were genuinely happy with — not everything you've ever written. More importantly, include variety: different student ability levels, different topics, different assessment styles. The AI learns your voice better from a diverse sample than from ten similar documents.

Be specific in your context field

The context field is where most of the personalization happens at generation time. Don't just write "grammar quiz" — write something like "oral grammar quiz for B1 students who struggle with past tense, 10 minutes, no multiple choice." The more specific, the less generic the output.

Rate your generated assessments

After generating, rate the result using the 1–5 star system. This feeds back into your training profile. A few weeks of consistent rating makes a noticeable difference — the AI starts to understand not just your style but your quality bar.

Select a student when generating

When you choose a specific student, you can also check Use this student's history for context and continuity. This tells the AI to consider what that student has already been assessed on — including their last assessment — and adjust accordingly. Useful for building on previous feedback rather than repeating it.

Set default requirements once

In personalization settings under the assessment generator, fill in Default assessment requirements — your usual style, format preferences, and anything you always apply. It's used automatically on every generation, so you don't have to retype it in the context field each time.

Export and re-train

Open a group, go to its export tab, and download the assessments you were happy with as DOCX files (by assessment name, subject, or student report). Then upload those DOCX files back into Training Docs. This creates a feedback loop — your best outputs become training data for the next round.

Lean on teaching goals

If a group and subject have an active teaching goal, the AI uses it automatically — it aligns the assessment with that objective without any extra step. Keeping your teaching goals current is the easiest way to make feedback-style assessments more relevant.

Use speech-to-text for context input

If you find yourself typing the same kinds of context descriptions repeatedly, try speaking them instead. Speech-to-text is faster and often more natural — you tend to give more detail when talking than when typing.
