great-educators
Three educator personas for the Great Minds constellation — instructional content, curriculum sequencing, and learning design.
Personas
| Persona | Register | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Richard Feynman | Explainer | Making complex concepts feel reachable through physical analogy and first principles |
| Maria Montessori | Scaffold designer | Sequencing learning material, isolating difficulty, building self-correcting instruction |
| Paulo Freire | Dialogic educator | Co-investigative writing, problem-posing, critical consciousness |
Skills
/educators-project-init— scaffold a new education project with learner profile, objectives, sequence map, and assessment plan/educators-channel <persona>— load an educator persona into the current conversation
Install
Via the Great Minds constellation marketplace:
/marketplace install great-educators
Or standalone (not recommended — the constellation provides cross-plugin routing):
/plugin add github:sethshoultes/great-minds-constellation/plugins/great-educators
Usage
Start a curriculum project:
/educators-project-init python-for-beginners
Then channel a persona to write a lesson:
/educators-channel feynman
> Write a lesson explaining recursion to someone who has never met the concept.
Or dispatch for parallel build:
Agent({
subagent_type: "great-educators:maria-montessori-scaffold",
description: "Sequence a 5-module Python course",
prompt: "..."
})
What this is NOT
- Not an academic advising tool. These are craft registers for writing instructional content, not pedagogical theory.
- Not a substitute for instructional designers. The personas write content; they don't replace the human judgment about what learners actually need.
- Not aligned to specific standards (Common Core, ISTE, etc.) unless you provide those constraints in the brief.
Cross-plugin routing
The constellation routinely routes educational work here:
great-minds:phil-jackson-orchestrator→ identifies education projects and routes to this plugingreat-authorspersonas → may be called in parallel for voice-driven narrative within educational contentgreat-researchers→ may be called for fact-grounding in educational material
Version
1.0.0 — initial release with three personas and two skills.
