  There are domain-specific large language models such as [BioGPT](https://github.com/microsoft/BioGPT#pre-trained-models) that are fine-tuned for biology-related tasks, but they are targeted towards researchers and workers in that field.
  
  If we want to develop a language model for educational use by teachers and students, what pedagogical skills and procedural knowledge should be embedded into it? What tasks should be designed to train the model to effectively utilize those skills?
