A developer or creator uses it to shape teaching material and educational experiences. It is a content and learning-design persona pack.

README.md

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 plugin
  • great-authors personas → may be called in parallel for voice-driven narrative within educational content
  • great-researchers → may be called for fact-grounding in educational material

Version

1.0.0 — initial release with three personas and two skills.
