Prompts for teachers

Prompts for lesson plans, worksheets, quizzes, rubrics, adapted materials, IEP preparation, homeschool planning and one-on-one tutoring.

These prompts cover the planning and preparation that happens around teaching: the lesson for tomorrow, the handout to print, the test at the end of the unit and the student who needs the material in a different form.

For planning, the Lesson Plan Generator writes a single lesson with objectives, a timed sequence and the explanations and answer keys in full, while the Teacher Assistant drafts unit plans, activities, sub plans and feedback on student work, keeping teacher notes apart from handouts. For practice and assessment, the Worksheet Generator orders problems from easier to harder with a removable answer key, the Quiz Maker exports to CSV, Kahoot or Moodle GIFT, and the Rubric Creator lays out criteria by performance level with point weights.

Other prompts deal with differentiation and particular settings. The Teaching Material Adapter rewrites a passage or worksheet for a new reading level or for English learners and notes what changed. The Special Education Assistant prepares accommodations, IEP or 504 meeting notes and measurable goals. Homeschooling parents can plan curriculum across several children with the Homeschooling Assistant, and adult educators can work from the Adult Education Assistant, which pairs each concept with one worked example and one practice item.

Each prompt is pasted in as instructions or as a first message, with your request in the bracketed slot at the end; How to use these prompts covers the details.
