Fox Curriculum
What I have designed and built.
Every item was checked against a source document. Five sections: AI and educational technology, courses created, assessment systems and instructional frameworks, the FoxStead businesses, and software in development.
AI and educational technology
Claude Skill: SDCOE AI Compliance Check
A per-artifact vetting instrument running one AI tool through five gates: student data privacy (11 sub-gates), accessibility (7), bias and consequential decisions (9), governance and procurement (9), and currency. Twelve-item intake, five verdict values, a division routing table, a do-not-cite table, an eight-item watch list, and two outputs per run: a formal decision record for the file and a plain-language district summary. Scoped to county authority, so a failing verdict is a finding offered as service rather than a directive.
Claude Skill: Backward Design Module Builder
Turns a topic, outline, script or source document into a complete teaching module built backward from one measurable outcome. Enforces four rules: one outcome per module, mastery meaning explain and defend and teach rather than recognize, feedback before accountability, and scaffolding introduced early and removed on purpose. The build sequence writes the exit check second, before anything else is designed, which is the move most module design gets wrong.
Claude Skill: Transcript to Playbook
Turns a raw call recording, meeting transcript, thread or discussion into a reusable playbook someone who was not in the room can run. Sorts every piece of source material into play, case, or noise using a substitution test, then requires a stated trigger condition, imperative steps, documented failure modes, and a traceable pointer back to the source for every non-obvious claim.
Claude Skill: Session Memory
Reviews a work session and persists what is durable: decisions with their one-line reasoning, unresolved action items, facts and preferences about the user, and key deliverables. Written to be selective, on the argument that a memory file capturing everything is as useless as one capturing nothing.
Automated document quality gate
Twenty-six automated checks run against a document before it ships.
AI adaptive practice inquiry cycle
Mentor-verified cycle inside the SDCOE induction program testing whether weekly practice on an AI-powered adaptive platform produced transfer rather than item memorization. Evidence standard set before the intervention began; only 5 of 30 assessment items overlapped the practice bank. Accuracy rose 70% to 75% across 18 students on two unit assessments.
Classroom AI-use policy
Named, permissive and accountable: students may use generative tools to draft or refine work and remain responsible for reviewing, editing and approving what they submit. Paired with a parent-facing document disclosing my own AI use.
Statement on AI in Education and Work
Published position, foxcurriculum.com.
The Den
Ongoing public essay series on AI, writing and learning, written for educators, families and students.
Technology-Integrated PBL plan
Targets stimulus-based MCQ accuracy in AP U.S. History, built on AP Classroom, Albert.io and Nearpod.
Ethical EdTech PD session
Delivered to school staff with presentation outline, speaker notes and a written reflection.
Four-year technology integration progression
Documented across three AP History lesson plans.
Courses created
Digital Music and Production
Original full-year VAPA elective. My proposal and my UC a-g submission, accepted first attempt with no revisions. Four units, VAPA and CCSS alignment matrix, 20-day minute-by-minute plan for Unit 1, four authored assessments.
College Prep Intensive
Ten-session postsecondary transition seminar, written so another instructor could run it. Two cohorts, both versions preserved, with a documented rebuild between them.
Mexican American Literature
Two years of syllabi, course outline, 24-entry dated journal-prompt archive, three-prompt Perceptions essay arc with rubric, and culturally specific originals: In Lak'ech, Circles of My Multicultural Self, microaggressions activity, Corky Gonzales speech analysis, eight-file folktale set.
What Do We Give Up?
Six-week interdisciplinary suite on trade-offs in civic and economic decision-making. C3 Inquiry Arc across all four dimensions, UDL as a design constraint, week-by-week scaffold-removal schedule, print and digital component spec, 18-week production schedule, four-question evaluation plan with a small-cell suppression rule set in advance.
Directing for the Stage 101
Written and taught. Syllabus with a Skills Beyond Theatre section and an explicit AI-use policy, an original Day 1 plan, two original two-hander scenes written to my own assignment spec, and a full showcase script that staged them.
Introduction to Sight Singing
Original course, written and taught. Sequenced instruction delivered as filmed lessons.
Introduction to Reading Rhythm
Original course, written and taught as a quarter session.
Introduction to Music Theory
Original course, written and taught as a quarter session.
Theater Makeup
Original course, written and taught as a quarter session.
Holocaust Literature
Semester course written in full. Designed but not delivered.
Assessment systems and instructional frameworks
Three-Distance Contextualization Ladder
Solves the most-missed point on the AP History rubrics. Three numbered fields at three stated distances, each requiring a dated event: one within a century, one nearer, one inside the time frame. Checkable in ten seconds.
LEQ Planning Scaffold
One page, five scored rows, seven points, point value printed on each row, completed before drafting so planning is gradeable on its own. Rubric language reproduced in full so scaffold and scoring guide cannot drift.
P.I.E.C.E.S.
Six student-facing lenses mapped one-to-one onto the six College Board themes, each carrying its analysis skill and a bank of guiding questions. Carried as Course Objective #1 on the syllabus.
ACE, Adapted
Answer, cite something specific, explain why it matters. The spine was adopted; the two qualifiers are mine and each fixes a named failure the standard wording produces. Carried across all three AP History courses.
AP Stimulus MCQ Strategy
A six-move student summary over an eight-step teacher-facing method. Diagnosis: students miss items by answering the wrong kind of question, so the skill gets labeled before the stimulus is read.
DBQ Step by Step
Seven timed steps, the Although-x-a-b-therefore-y thesis formula, HIPP sourcing, and an explicit note that the formula is modified from what the class used earlier in the year.
Test Corrections protocol
One point recovered per item, three to four sentences of original explanation required, and an explicit rule naming the practice platform and forbidding students from copying its explanations.
Fox SMART Goal Template
Named goal-setting template used across courses.
FoxStead, my company
FoxStead is my side company. I founded it, I own it, and I run every part of it myself. It operates on three prongs: curriculum development, marketing, and original goods. Everything below was designed, built and is maintained by me.

Software and game development
FoxStead Dashboard
A complete life organizer built as a video game. Each area of life is handled by its own trained bot, and every bot has a personality, a look and an office I design. They report to a chief of staff, who reports to me. The game layer is the interface, not decoration: the point is that running your own life should be legible and worth returning to.
Game-based LMS
The same architecture built for students and schools. Trained agents hold areas of a learner's work, report up through a central figure, and turn the management layer of school into something a student actually wants to open.
