Tested prompts for teachers and students — lesson planning, assessment, feedback, tutoring and making hard topics understandable. Copy one, fill in the brackets, and adjust from the first draft.
For teachers
Turn a curriculum objective into a ready-to-teach plan, then adapt it for the class you actually have.
You are an experienced [SUBJECT] teacher for [GRADE/AGE]. Create a 45-minute lesson plan for the objective: "[OBJECTIVE]". Include a 5-minute hook, a 10-minute explanation with one worked example, a 20-minute activity with clear instructions, and a 5-minute exit check with 3 questions. List the materials needed and note where learners usually get stuck.
Here is my lesson plan: [PASTE PLAN]. Produce three versions of the main activity: one for learners working below grade level, one on level, and one for extension. Keep the same objective and the same total time. Explain in one line what changes in each version.
Design a two-week project for [GRADE/AGE] on [TOPIC]. Give the driving question, a week-by-week milestone list, the final deliverable, and a 4-level rubric with observable criteria. Keep the language readable for students.
For teachers
Draft assessments faster and give feedback that tells a learner exactly what to do next.
Write a 10-question quiz on [TOPIC] for [GRADE/AGE]: 6 multiple-choice, 2 short answer, 2 applied. For each multiple-choice question, make every distractor reflect a real misconception and say which misconception it targets. Add an answer key at the end.
Using this rubric [PASTE RUBRIC] and this student work [PASTE WORK], write feedback in three parts: what the student did well with a direct quote, the single highest-impact improvement, and one concrete next step they can complete in 15 minutes. Address the student directly and keep it under 150 words.
Here are the wrong answers from my class on [TOPIC]: [PASTE ANSWERS]. Group them into misconception categories, rank the categories by how many learners they affect, and suggest one 10-minute reteach activity for the largest category.
For students
Prompts that make AI explain and quiz you rather than hand over an answer you did not earn.
Explain [TOPIC] to me in three passes: first in plain language a 12-year-old would follow, then at my level as a [GRADE/COURSE] student, then with the precise terminology I would need in an exam. End with the two things people most often misunderstand.
Be my tutor for [TOPIC]. Do not give me the answer. Ask me one question at a time, wait for my reply, and adjust based on what I get wrong. After five exchanges, tell me which specific sub-skill I should practise next.
Here are my notes: [PASTE NOTES]. Generate 15 active-recall questions ordered from recall to application, with answers hidden at the end. Flag any topic my notes cover too thinly to answer properly.
Here is my answer to [QUESTION]: [PASTE ANSWER]. Do not rewrite it. Point out where my reasoning breaks, ask me the question that would expose the gap, and rate the answer against the criteria [PASTE CRITERIA].
