AI for teachers who are short on time

For Classroom teachers and tutors.

Use AI to speed up planning, differentiation and feedback, while you keep full control of what is taught and how each child is treated.

When to use this

You have lessons to plan, a spread of reading levels in one room, and a stack of work to give feedback on, all before tomorrow.

  • Drafts a lesson outline or activity from your objective and year level
  • Rewrites the same text at three reading levels so more students can access it
  • Turns your marking notes into clear, kind feedback comments you can adjust

Workflow

  1. Tell the tool your objective, year level and how long the lesson is

  2. Ask for an outline with a starter, a main task and a check for understanding

  3. Ask it to adapt the main text to easier and harder reading levels

  4. Paste your rough marking notes and ask for feedback in your own tone

  5. Read everything, fix what is off, and make it yours before you use it

Prompts to try

Use it, adapt it, and make it your own.

You are helping a teacher. Draft a 45 minute lesson for [year level] on [topic]. Include a short starter, one main activity and a quick check for understanding. Keep the language simple. Do not invent facts. Mark anything I should verify as [CHECK].

Human lens

  • You decide what is worth teaching and what good work looks like
  • You know the child behind the grade and how to say the hard thing gently
  • You check every fact, example and reading level before it reaches students

What to avoid

  • Do not paste identifiable student information into a general tool
  • Do not trust generated facts, dates or quotes without checking a reliable source
  • A generated comment is a starting point, not a final report card remark
