# Synthetic IEP input field map

A fictional teacher wants clearer general group-work instructions. The task is deliberately narrower than preparing or amending an individual IEP.

All student, school and support details are invented. No disclosure authority, professional assessment or legal de-identification is established.

## The task needs less than the plan

### Full invented record

Identity, context, diagnosis and support history

### Name-only edit

Distinctive school and support details remain

Note: Not established as anonymous.

### Generic resource input

Short steps and a predictable sequence

Note: The educator still checks the output.

| Invented field | Why it matters | Choice for the general resource task |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Jordan Example; student TEST-IEP-17 | Direct identifiers for the fictional record. | Omit; the generic classroom instructions do not need identity. |
| Example School, only student in a small support group | Context may make a person identifiable even without a name. | Use an invented classroom context without a unique school or group description. |
| Fictional diagnosis and assessment history | Sensitive student-specific information not needed for wording the general activity. | Keep out of the input for this task. |
| Needs short written steps and predictable sequence | Functional presentation requirement relevant to the generic resource. | Describe the support generically without linking it to a student. |
| Parent contact and review meeting date | Additional identifying and family information. | Omit from both the prompt and any attachment. |
| Generated classroom instructions | May contain errors or unsupported assumptions. | Educator checks the draft before use; this exercise does not amend an IEP. |

## Review checklist

- [ ] Confirm the disclosure route
  Check applicable FERPA, IDEA and other requirements before selecting any real student fields.
- [ ] Use the minimum useful context
  Explain why each student-specific detail is needed; prefer invented generic context where it meets the task.
- [ ] Inspect input and output
  Review the whole file and the generated draft, not just the selected paragraph or visible name.
