What you'll accomplish
Your MAP or state test results arrive on a Friday. Your board meeting is Monday. Claude can turn that data into a polished 400-word narrative in about 15 minutes. The kind of write-up that used to take 2 to 3 hours gets done before pickup. You'll also create a reusable prompt template that works every testing cycle, not just once.
What you'll need
- A free Claude account at claude.ai (free tier works for this)
- Your assessment data available as numbers you can type or paste (aggregate grade-level averages, not individual student data)
- Time needed: 30 minutes to set up and run your first narrative
- Cost: Free (Claude.ai free account is sufficient)

What you should see: The main Claude chat interface, with a text input box at the bottom that says "How can I help you?" Troubleshooting: If the email confirmation doesn't arrive within 5 minutes, check your spam/junk folder.
