AI prompt generator for teachers ChatGPT prompts for teachers and every educator, from lesson plan to feedback

This AI prompt generator for teachers turns what you need to prepare for class into a structured AI prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or your school’s platform. It’s built for every educator, from preschool to university and adult education, who plans lessons, writes rubrics, differentiates activities or writes to families. It comes from Founderz, which runs an AI and innovation certificate program.

AI prompt generator for teachers: how to design a lesson plan prompt step by step

To build your prompt, follow these steps. Only the first one is required: anything you skip stays on Auto.

1. Start with the essentials. Pick an example (plan a lesson, create a rubric, differentiate an activity, formative feedback, write to families or AI in the classroom) or describe your class and what you want to prepare, with no student names or data. Then choose what you want to prepare, or leave Auto to work it out from your text.
2. Describe your class. The level (from preschool to university, adult learners and special education), the length and the support your learners need: different paces, reading difficulties, language learners, accessibility, gifted and talented or school accommodations. Under advanced settings you choose the learning objective and the material you will provide.
3. Choose the audience and format. Who it is for (students, families, staff or department, school leadership or your own use) and the format: table, printable worksheet, slides, document, or Google Classroom or Moodle. Under advanced settings you add a block ready for Kahoot, Forms, Canva or NotebookLM.
4. Set the approach and assessment. The teaching approach (cooperative, project based, flipped classroom, gamification, inquiry or direct instruction) and the assessment (formative, summative or self and peer). Under advanced settings you add extra checks, such as an answer key or easy read, and the response language.
5. Generate and copy your prompt. Click “Generate prompt”, enter your email to see the whole prompt and copy it.

Ten teaching resources. The “What do you want to prepare?” selector offers plan a lesson, unit or sequence, create a rubric, differentiate, formative feedback, write to families, AI in the classroom, exercises or quiz, design an activity and year plan.

Each resource comes with its own output format and three follow-up requests. It works for a single 45 to 60 minute lesson, several lessons, a full unit or the whole year, so it can help teachers save time on teaching materials.

Example: prompts for lesson planning in middle school science

With the generator’s “Plan a lesson” example, the prompt starts like this. It’s an excerpt: the button copies the full prompt.

ROLE
Act as a highly experienced classroom teacher and instructional design specialist in lesson planning, formative assessment and inclusion through Universal Design for Learning (UDL). You work from what the teacher gives you: you do not invent student data, official standards or results, and your proposals are drafts the teacher adapts to the class. You plan lessons with the gradual release of responsibility model: I do, we do, you do together, you do alone.

GOAL
Plan a complete lesson, with timings, that takes students from prior knowledge to the objective and checks at the end whether they reached it.

CONTEXT
Context provided by the teacher (treat it as your main source):
"""
Grade 8 science lesson on the water cycle: 55 minutes and 26 students. The group works at very different paces and two students struggle with reading comprehension. By the end I want them to explain the cycle in their own words and link it to this summer's drought in our region.
"""

...

OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver: objective and success criteria; a lesson table with columns Minute, Phase, What the teacher does, What students do, Materials; key questions for the class; the exit ticket; student material ready to copy.

...

The full prompt adds the level (middle school, ages 11 to 15), timed lesson blocks, the constraints (no student data, no invented standards, no grading on your behalf), the supports for reading difficulties, cooperative groups with roles and a final check on timings and alignment.

The result: the assistant splits the 55 minutes into blocks with what the teacher and the students do, prepares short texts with key vocabulary for the two students who struggle with reading and ends with an exit ticket that shows who can explain the cycle.

Tips: refine prompts for differentiated instruction

Use cases: feedback and grading, parent communication and more

• Lesson planning A lesson plan with timings, a multi-session sequence or the annual program.
• Practice Exercises, writing prompts for students or activities that engage students in discussion.
• Differentiation Three versions of the same activity (supported, core and extension) with the same objective.
• Feedback Formative comments on students’ work that say what to improve and how, without grading for you.
• Families A clear message to families about a field trip or a project.
• In class An activity that explains to students which uses of GenAI are allowed and which aren’t.

Prompt engineering for teachers: what makes good AI prompts for teachers

A good teaching prompt tells the model who the class is for (grade, group and needs), what students should learn, how much time there is, what material you have, what it must not do and what format to deliver. That is how AI can help with your teaching practice instead of handing you something generic.

The piece teachers forget most often is alignment: objective, activity and assessment have to fit together. Every prompt includes it as a working step and a final check, along with never grading on the teacher’s behalf, and leaves the final call on what reaches your classroom to you.

Why I built these generators

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?

Yes, it’s free. Before it asks for anything, it shows you a preview with the first sections of the prompt. To see the whole prompt and copy it, enter your email and accept the Privacy Policy; receiving communications from Founderz is optional.

It only asks once per visit: any prompts you generate after that are shown in full.

Which AI tools for education does it support?

Any text assistant: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or the education AI your school has approved. In “Where will you use it?” you can add a block ready for Kahoot or a quiz app, Google or Microsoft Forms, Canva, or NotebookLM with your own sources.

Can it grade student work for me?

It can help you prepare criteria, descriptors or feedback comments, but it shouldn’t replace your assessment. Every prompt tells the AI not to assess or grade on the teacher’s behalf: it proposes, and you review and decide.

What happens to the data I type?

The tool doesn’t use a language model: it combines your answers with Founderz templates in your browser. It only sends your email to Founderz when you ask to see the result, and usage statistics record only the options you choose, never your description or the prompt. Even so, don’t type students’ personal data.

Does it work for university and adult education?

Yes. The “Level” field includes preschool, elementary, middle school, high school, vocational, university, adult learners and special education, and each one adds its own guidance: at university, course learning outcomes and academic sources; with adults, building on their experience and showing the practical value of each activity.
