How to Prompt ChatGPT Like a Pro: Parent Edition
Jun 18, 2025The better your prompt, the better the results. If you’ve tried ChatGPT and found the responses too vague or robotic, chances are the prompt was the problem.
Structure Matters
Give the tool enough context to help you. Instead of saying “Help me with a goal,” say:
“Write a SMART reading comprehension goal for a 6th grade student with ADHD who struggles with inferencing. Include two benchmarks.”
Be Specific About the Format
Tell ChatGPT what you want. A formal email? A bullet-point list? A meeting agenda? It will format accordingly, but only if you ask.
This works across IEP goals, communication scripts, evaluation questions, and more. Prompt like a pro and you'll be surprised what you can do in five minutes.
