1. What is the central goal of using AI for the workflow described in 'Avoiding AI Dependency'?

   1. To replace teacher judgment with automated decisions
   2. To eliminate the need for student feedback
   3. To save time while improving the quality of outputs related to dependency
   4. To make grading slower but more thorough

2. Which action best matches a recommended use of AI for dependency?

   1. Skill drills with no AI allowed
   2. Asking AI to grade student work without any oversight
   3. Posting raw AI output to students without editing
   4. Letting AI choose which students get extra help based on names

3. What guideline matters most when working with AI on dependency?

   1. Trust the first draft AI produces every time
   2. Reaching for AI before trying.
   3. Skip the review step if you're short on time
   4. Avoid editing AI output to preserve neutrality

4. Who primarily benefits from a teacher's effective use of AI for dependency?

   1. Only the teacher, since students are unaffected
   2. Software vendors, who track usage data
   3. Both the teacher (time saved) and students (clearer, faster outputs)
   4. Administrators only, through compliance reports

5. Which is an inappropriate way to use AI for dependency?

   1. Drafting a first version that you refine
   2. Generating ideas to spark your own thinking
   3. Blindly publishing AI text without review
   4. Using AI to brainstorm options to choose from

6. What detail makes an AI prompt about dependency most effective?

   1. Keeping the request as vague as possible
   2. Adding context about grade level, audience, and goal
   3. Asking for the longest possible response
   4. Avoiding any examples or constraints

7. Which option reflects another recommended approach for dependency?

   1. Refusing to iterate on the AI's first draft
   2. AI-free in-class work for foundational skills
   3. Using only one prompt and accepting whatever returns
   4. Sharing student names with AI for personalization

8. What student data should generally NOT be pasted into a public AI tool when working on dependency?

   1. A generic assignment prompt
   2. Identifiable student names paired with grades or accommodations
   3. An anonymized writing sample for feedback
   4. A rubric template you wrote yourself

9. What is a realistic outcome of using AI well for dependency?

   1. Eliminating all teacher work entirely
   2. A noticeable reduction in time spent on routine prep or feedback
   3. Guaranteed perfect student performance
   4. Replacement of all curriculum standards

10. How can AI help when you need to adapt dependency for different learners?

    1. By generating tiered versions for different reading or skill levels
    2. By forcing all students to receive identical materials
    3. By replacing IEP accommodations with generic content
    4. By choosing which students need help based on demographics

11. Which statement best captures a key insight about AI and dependency?

    1. AI works best when teachers never review the output
    2. A kid who uses AI for every math problem never builds math intuition.
    3. AI removes the need for clear learning goals
    4. AI eliminates the value of student-teacher relationships

12. Which is a red flag that AI output for dependency needs revision before use?

    1. It cites sources that you cannot verify exist
    2. It uses clear, simple language
    3. It matches your learning objectives
    4. It is appropriate for your students' reading level

13. What is a sensible workflow when using AI to support dependency?

    1. Send raw output to students, then check it later
    2. Plan goal, prompt AI, review and edit, then deliver
    3. Skip planning and let AI dictate the goal
    4. Edit only after parents complain

14. How should a teacher handle transparency about using AI for dependency?

    1. Hide AI use entirely from students and families
    2. Share with colleagues, students, or families when it affects their experience
    3. Claim AI did all the work even if it didn't
    4. Pretend AI tools don't exist in education

15. What is the strongest takeaway about using AI for dependency?

    1. AI replaces the teacher in this workflow
    2. AI works best as a drafting partner that the teacher reviews and refines
    3. AI should be hidden from administrators
    4. AI eliminates the need for any subject expertise
