How I develop these guides
I use AI tools, mainly Claude Cowork, as a thinking and drafting partner. The ideas draw on my own thinking, the teachers and colleagues I have learned from, and the research that shapes this field. AI helps me work through drafts and catch gaps; the final editorial choices are mine.
