What you'll accomplish

By the end of this guide, you'll be able to give Claude a topic and audience and get back a complete, research-grounded PD session design — including learning objectives, structured activities, discussion questions, and a facilitator agenda — in under 15 minutes instead of 2-4 hours.

What you'll need

  • A Claude account at claude.ai ({{tool:Claude.free_tier}} works for most PD design tasks)
  • A PD topic and target audience in mind
  • Optional: articles, research summaries, or notes you want the session to be based on
  • Time needed: 30 minutes to learn the workflow; 15 minutes per session after that
  • Cost: Free (basic) / {{tool:Claude.price}} (Pro — recommended if you work with long documents)
