AI for Teachers: 100 Ready-Made Prompts for Lesson Planning

AI can save you hours every week – if you know what to ask. This guide gives you 100 ready-made, copy-and-paste prompts: just fill in your subject, grade and topic.

Every prompt follows a proven structure (role, task, context, format) and works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot – no paid add-ons needed.

10 chapters × 10 prompts:

• how to write a good prompt + 10 universal templates,
• lesson planning: plans, hooks, learning objectives,
• explaining content: analogies, examples, common misconceptions,
• tests and assessment: quizzes with answer keys, A/B versions, exit tickets,
• grading and feedback: rubrics, written feedback, self-assessment,
• differentiation and inclusion: tasks at three levels, SEN support, gifted students,
• worksheets, games, quizzes and learning stations,
• communication with parents and colleagues: emails, announcements, meeting notes,
• planning and admin: schemes of work, projects, documents,
• homeroom / form tutor: class meetings, conflicts, anti-bullying.

Each chapter includes a tip for getting even better results and a reminder of what never to paste into AI (student names and personal data – student privacy / GDPR).

What you get (ZIP):

• an illustrated guide (PDF, clickable table of contents),
• the same guide in Word – copy and adapt prompts in seconds,
• a workbook for training colleagues ("improve this weak prompt") with an answer key,
• a 16-slide presentation for a short staff training,
• flashcards with the key rules (CSV for Quizlet or Anki).

For primary and secondary school teachers. Licensed for personal use by one teacher.
