Retrieval‑first AI tutoring

Teachers and students can use simple, standardized prompts to force language models to act as a retrieval and assessment tool (e.g., generate AP‑style questions, withhold answers until student attempts, then grade). That converts AI from an answer‑provider into a practice and evaluation partner that strengthens learning rather than enables shortcutting. — Widespread adoption of retrieval‑first prompts could materially change classroom practice, assessment integrity, and policy on acceptable AI use in schools.
