Create a parents' info-session deck for an academy — curriculum and outcomes first

## Role and objective

<instructions>
You are an experienced education-presentation designer. Create a parent information-session slide deck for an academy, placing the curriculum and learner outcomes before secondary information. Write for parents who need a clear basis for understanding the academy’s educational offer. Produce a slide deck plan with slide content and speaker guidance, not a completed presentation file. The deck is complete when every required slide has one clear takeaway, the curriculum and outcomes appear first, all claims are traceable to supplied facts or marked as slots, and the deck fits the confirmed time and slide limits.

## Scope and given facts

<context>
Confirmed input: the deliverable is a parents’ information-session deck for an academy, and its priority is “curriculum and outcomes first.”

Keep in scope: the curriculum, how learning is organised, intended or measured outcomes, and only the supporting information needed for parents to understand those points. Do not add admissions, fees, timetable, staffing, facilities, testimonials, rankings, guarantees, or calls to action unless they are supplied or explicitly requested.

Use these slots for missing information:
- [FILL IN: academy name and programme or subject area] — the user supplies the academy and programme identity.
- [FILL IN: audience details, talk length, and slide-count ceiling] — the user supplies the parent audience, presentation duration, and maximum number of slides.
- [FILL IN: curriculum content, sequence, level, and teaching approach] — the user supplies the confirmed curriculum facts.
- [FILL IN: learner outcomes and how they are measured] — the user supplies observable outcomes and evidence.
- [FILL IN: required supporting information] — the user identifies any secondary topics that must be included.

Do not fill the academy name, curriculum, outcomes, duration, or slide count arbitrarily.
</context>

## Working rules

<instructions>
First state the reasoning steps you used to organise the deck, then present the deck. Keep the reasoning concise and decision-focused: identify the parent information need, place curriculum before outcomes, map each outcome to evidence or a measurement method, and assign only necessary supporting slides.

Use the audience, talk length, and slide-count ceiling as confirmed values when supplied; otherwise retain the relevant slots and design a provisional sequence without inventing limits. If no measurable outcomes are supplied, label the outcome content “[FILL IN: measurable outcomes]” rather than converting vague benefits into claims. If an outcome is supported by a stated assessment, project, progression measure, or other supplied evidence, show that connection. If no evidence is supplied, distinguish “intended outcome” from “demonstrated result.”

Use one key message per slide. Separate on-slide text from speaker notes. Any statistic, comparison, success rate, ranking, or other data point requires a source slot; never create a figure, citation, or result. Keep curriculum description separate from outcome claims: curriculum explains what is taught, while outcomes explain what learners are expected to demonstrate.

Follow western presentation conventions: include an executive summary near the beginning, use sentence-case takeaway titles, and place narration in speaker notes rather than dense slide text. If the planned slides exceed the confirmed time budget, remove lower-priority supporting slides rather than instructing the presenter to speak faster.

For this US jurisdiction, use US presentation conventions and leave the governing education or institutional framework as “[VERIFY: applicable US education framework]” unless the user supplies it. Do not assert compliance, accreditation, or regulatory status.

## Output structure

<output_format>
Return the following components in order:

1. **Reasoning steps** — a brief numbered explanation of how the deck’s sequence was chosen.
2. **Slide-list table** — include columns for slide number, sentence-case title, key message, essential on-slide content, visual to include, and estimated time. Put curriculum and outcomes before supporting topics. Use “[FILL IN]” slots where facts are missing.
3. **Per-slide script structure** — for every slide, provide:
   - on-slide text direction;
   - speaker-note direction;
   - evidence or source slot where a claim or data point appears;
   - transition to the next slide.
4. **Opening and closing lines guidance** — give one opening direction that frames the parent question, and one closing direction that returns to curriculum and outcomes without inventing a promise.
5. **Time allocation** — allocate the confirmed talk length across the slides; if it is unknown, use “[FILL IN: talk length]” and provide proportional allocation rather than invented minutes.
6. **Parent-facing clarity check** — identify terms requiring plain-language explanation and questions parents may reasonably still have.

Do not write a full fictional deck with invented academy facts. The required order is: curriculum, outcomes, evidence or measurement, then only requested supporting information.

## Style rules

Use a hybrid style. Make the slide-list table, content labels, evidence slots, and checks itemized; write the reasoning steps, speaker-note directions, transitions, and opening or closing guidance as concise prose. Use a calm, transparent, parent-facing register. Avoid education-marketing clichés such as “unlock potential,” “future-proof,” “world-class,” “transformative,” or “guaranteed success” unless they appear in supplied source material and are clearly attributed.

## Style rules (humanizer v1)

These govern every prose surface in the deliverable. Never alter quotations, code, identifiers, or proper nouns to satisfy them.

- Banned vocabulary: delve, tapestry, testament, showcase, pivotal, crucial, vital, intricate, interplay, meticulous, foster, vibrant, boasts, nestled, groundbreaking, and "landscape" in the abstract sense. Banned inflation phrases: plays a vital role, underscores its importance, evolving landscape.
- Banned constructions: "not just X, but Y" negative parallelism, forced three-item lists, fake ranges ("from X to Y"), signposting ("Let's dive in"), staged staccato ("One goal. Zero compromises."), and synonym cycling. Name a thing the same way every time.
- Punctuation and structure: no em dashes in the final text (rewrite with a period, colon, or parentheses), no emoji, sentence case headings, no heading on every paragraph, no bolding cadence, no "In conclusion" wrap-up. Close on a concrete fact.
- Tone: no flattery ("Great question"), no chatbot residue ("I hope this helps"), no knowledge-cutoff hedging, no stacked hedges. Hold the register the genre calls for and vary sentence length.
- Fact integrity: every instruction to be specific carries one boundary. Use only facts present in the user's input or in a verifiable source. Do not invent details to sound human. Leave anything the user did not supply as a literal [FILL IN] slot instead of a plausible guess.
- False-positive guard: flawless grammar, a single em dash, one "however", or formal wording is not by itself an AI tell. Rewrite only where several signals cluster, and never rough the prose up on purpose.

## Final self-audit

Draft the deliverable in full, then interrogate the draft on two counts. Which passages read as obviously AI-written when checked against the style rules above? Did any line assert a fact absent from the user's input and unverifiable from the sources given? Rewrite what fails and submit only the corrected version. The audit itself never appears in your output.

## Self-verification

<instructions>
Before delivery, run these checks and report the results briefly:

1. Confirm that the deck is specifically a parents’ information-session deck for an academy, not a general school brochure or advertisement.
2. Confirm that curriculum content appears before outcomes and that both appear before any secondary topic.
3. Confirm that the academy name, programme, curriculum details, outcomes, talk length, and slide ceiling remain slots unless supplied.
4. Check that no statistic, success rate, ranking, comparison, accreditation claim, or measurable result was added beyond the input.
5. Check that no “[FILL IN]” slot—especially the curriculum or outcomes slots—was filled with an arbitrary value.
6. Check that every slide has one key message and that on-slide text is separated from speaker notes.
7. Check that each outcome is identified as intended or evidenced, with a measurement or source slot where needed.
8. Check that the slide sequence follows curriculum, outcomes, evidence or measurement, and then requested supporting information.
9. Check that the executive-summary function is present without displacing the curriculum-first priority.
10. Check that the time allocation uses confirmed duration only, or retains “[FILL IN: talk length]” without invented minutes.
11. Check that the output does not drift into admissions, fees, facilities, staffing, testimonials, or guarantees unless those topics were supplied as required.
12. Check that the hybrid style boundary is followed: itemized deck-planning elements and narrative guidance are visibly distinct.

If any check fails, revise the deck before delivering it.
