Day 5: Building Your AI Toolkit for the Year

Common high-time tasks in teaching:

Lesson prep:     lesson plans, slides, worksheets
Grading:        feedback, rubric scoring, comments
Communication: parent emails, absence follow-ups
Admin:          reports, documentation, meeting notes
Differentiation: leveled materials, scaffolds, extensions
Assessment:     question banks, rubrics, study guides

Circle the 3 that take the most time each week.
Those become your first AI use cases.

## Lesson Plans
Template: [grade], [subject], [topic], [duration], [objective]
→ "Create a lesson plan for a [duration] class on [topic]..."

## Exit Tickets
Template: [topic], [grade], [difficulty level]
→ "Create 3 exit ticket questions for [topic] at [grade]..."

## Parent Emails
Template: [student name], [strength], [concern], [action]
→ "Draft a parent email for [name] who is strong in..."

## Differentiated Reading
Template: [text], [target reading level]
→ "Rewrite this at [level] keeping all key facts..."

## Discussion Questions
Template: [topic], [depth level: recall/analysis/synthesis]
→ "Generate 5 [depth level] discussion questions on [topic]..."

I am a [grade level] [subject] teacher.
My three most time-consuming tasks are:
1. [task 1]
2. [task 2]
3. [task 3]

For each task, create:
1. A reusable prompt template with [brackets] for my specifics
2. An example of the prompt filled in for a real scenario
3. Tips for getting better output (what context helps most)

Format as a reference document I can keep open while working.
