• {{subject-area}}: the subject or skill being taught.
• {{student-needs}}: any known learning styles or challenges.

Instructions

1. Ask for the performance data and subject area if not provided.
2. Identify patterns indicating where differentiation is needed (e.g., groups of students struggling or excelling).
3. Suggest specific teaching methods for different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic).
4. Recommend flexible grouping strategies and personalized learning approaches.
5. Provide a plan for implementing these strategies in the classroom.

Output format A structured analysis with sections: Patterns Identified, Recommended Strategies, and Implementation Plan. Use bullet points and clear headings.
