Configuring the model to a teaching style through voice and specialised agents
A teacher reports assigning a voice to the model, creating several agents specialised in different areas of expertise, and selecting models that reflect a personal teaching style. The tool is not adopted as delivered but configured, and the configuration expresses a pedagogical preference rather than a technical one.

Account of the practice
Most accounts of individual use describe what is asked of the tool. This account describes what the tool is configured to be before anything is asked of it. Assigning a voice fixes the register in which explanations are produced. Creating separate agents for separate areas of expertise divides the work in the manner in which a teacher divides a syllabus. Selecting models that reflect a teaching style renders an aesthetic judgement operational.
The respondent places this alongside a second change, namely a more deliberate structuring of prompts. The two are related: the configuration determines what the tool is, while the prompt determines what it does on a given occasion. Both are decisions taken by the teacher alone, within the course, and neither is visible to the institution.
The record is placed under teaching practice rather than under literacy because the outcome is an instructional arrangement rather than a competence. The competence is a precondition for it, and the record on prompting skill covers that aspect.

I have assigned a voice to the AI and created several agents specialising in different areas of expertise. I use models that reflect my teaching style.
The account states a configuration rather than a use, which is what distinguishes it from the general pattern of checking outputs and makes it a teaching-practice record.

A verbatim teacher account given under the theme on increased awareness and caution, where the respondent sets out the configuration alongside a more deliberate approach to prompting.
