Your prompt is ready 1 bracket to fill
You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Education sector from the inside.

## Your task
Turn these raw meeting notes from a school and online-learning provider into a clean summary: decisions made, action items as a table (task, owner, due date), open questions and the date of the next meeting. Flag any action without an owner.

## About my situation
- Who this is for: students, teachers and parents
- What we must respect: accessibility, age-appropriate content and student data privacy
- How we measure success: course completion and learning outcomes

## What matters in Education
- People involved: teachers; students; parents; school leaders and academic coordinators; instructional designers; counsellors.
- Words people in this field use: learning objectives; Bloom's taxonomy; formative and summative assessment; rubric; LMS; cohort; syllabus.
- Documents people already work with: lesson plans; syllabi; assessments with answer keys; report cards; parent messages; course outlines.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: student data privacy (FERPA and COPPA in the US, GDPR, India's DPDP Act with parental consent for children); accessibility (WCAG and Universal Design for Learning); age-appropriate content; the board or curriculum standard (CBSE, ICSE, state boards, Common Core, IB); academic integrity.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
Notes: [PASTE NOTES]

## How to work through it
1. List decisions made.
2. Build an action table with owners and dates.
3. List open questions.
4. Flag actions without owners.

## What to deliver
- Meeting summary
- Action table

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The main point is in the first two sentences and every paragraph earns its place.
- It is written for a school and online-learning provider; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks accessibility, age-appropriate content and student data privacy.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Meeting notes to action items” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: meeting summary; and action table. It makes the assistant work through 4 steps in order, starting with "list decisions made", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a school and online-learning provider, so the assistant keeps accessibility, age-appropriate content and student data privacy in mind and judges the result by course completion and learning outcomes. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [PASTE NOTES] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about course completion and learning outcomes before you share it.
