Plan lessons and handle teacher paperwork

“Lesson plans, parent emails and course admin eat my evenings.”

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Write the topic, grade, time, and learning goal.
Ask for a lesson plan with activities, materials and a quick check for understanding.
Edit to fit your class, and have it draft any parent note.

Copy this prompt

Plan a [length] lesson on [topic] for [grade], goal: [goal]. Include: warm-up, main activity, materials, differentiation ideas, and a 3-question exit ticket with answers. Also draft a short parent note about the unit. Don't post or email anything. Stop there.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
