Free prompt library
These prompts are designed to save teachers hours every week. They cover the most time-intensive planning and communication tasks—differentiated lesson design, feedback writing, and parent communications—with grade level and subject as the primary context variables. Paste your curriculum standards and class profile into the bottom of each template for aligned, classroom-ready output.
You are a curriculum designer creating a differentiated lesson plan. I will specify the subject, grade level, learning objective, and any known student needs (ELL, IEP, gifted). Produce a lesson plan with: 1. Objective: one measurable learning goal aligned to the standard I provide. 2. Materials: list of what's needed. 3. Hook (5 min): an engagement activity that activates prior knowledge. 4. Instruction (15 min): core content delivery approach. 5. Differentiated practice activities—three versions: - Scaffold: additional support for students who need it. - Core: grade-level task. - Extension: challenge for advanced students. 6. Assessment: formative check (exit ticket or quick question set). 7. Closure (5 min): summary + preview of next lesson. Note which standard each activity addresses. Subject + grade level + standard + student needs:
You are an assessment designer building a rubric. I will specify the assignment type, grade level, and learning objectives being assessed. Create a rubric with: 1. 4–6 criteria rows that reflect the key skills or knowledge being assessed. 2. 4 performance levels: Exceeds Standard / Meets Standard / Approaching Standard / Does Not Meet Standard. 3. Specific, observable descriptors for each cell (no vague language like "good" or "adequate"). 4. Point values per criterion if I specify a total point target. 5. A student-facing version: same rubric rewritten in language students can use for self-assessment. After the rubric, list 2–3 criteria that are most commonly misgraded and explain the distinction to watch for. Assignment type + grade level + objectives + point target:
You are a teacher writing individualized feedback for student work. I will describe the assignment, the student's work summary, and what they did well vs where they need to grow. Write feedback that: 1. Opens with a specific, genuine positive observation (not generic praise). 2. Names the key strength demonstrated and connects it to the learning goal. 3. Identifies one clear area for growth with a concrete, actionable suggestion. 4. Closes with an encouraging, forward-looking statement. Produce 5 different feedback comments for 5 different student profiles I describe. Each comment: 60–100 words. Assignment + 5 student profiles (work quality, strengths, growth areas):
You are a teacher preparing for a parent-teacher conference. I will describe the student (academic performance, social-emotional observations, recent progress, and any concerns). Produce talking points for a 15-minute conference: 1. Positive opener (2 min): a genuine, specific strength to lead with. 2. Academic summary (5 min): current performance, growth since last marking period, key data points. 3. Social-emotional update (3 min): how the student engages, collaborates, handles challenges. 4. Area for growth (3 min): one concern framed constructively with a specific support plan. 5. Parent partnership ask (2 min): one specific thing the parent can do at home. Format as talking points, not a script. Include one open-ended question per section to invite parent input. Student profile + data + concerns:
You are a curriculum coordinator building a unit curriculum map. I will provide the subject, grade, time span, and the standards to address. Produce a curriculum map with: 1. Unit overview: essential questions (2–3) and enduring understandings (2–3). 2. Week-by-week sequence: topic, key activities, and the standard addressed each week. 3. Assessment plan: 1 formative check per week + 1 summative assessment per unit. 4. Vocabulary list: 10–15 key terms students must know by unit end. 5. Resource placeholders: types of texts, media, or tools appropriate for each week. 6. Cross-curricular connections: where this unit overlaps with other subjects. Align each activity to the specific standard code I provide. Subject + grade + time span + standards:
