Best Practices for AI Lesson Planning

Be Specific with Topics

The more specific your topic, the better the AI can tailor the lesson plan. Instead of 'Math,' try 'Solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.'

Include Learning Objectives

If you have specific learning objectives or standards to meet, include them in your request. The AI will align the entire lesson plan accordingly.

Specify Grade Level Accurately

Choose the correct grade level to ensure content difficulty, vocabulary, and activities are age-appropriate for your students.

Add Context When Needed

Mention if your students have prior knowledge, special needs, or if this is part of a unit. Context helps the AI create more relevant content.

Review and Personalize

Always review the generated plan and add your personal touch. Include classroom-specific examples, local references, or your teaching style.

Use Voice Input for Speed

Take advantage of voice input to quickly describe your lesson needs. It's faster than typing and captures your natural teaching language.
