Copilot prompts for teachers

I am a [GRADE LEVEL AND SUBJECT] teacher working on [UNIT OR TOPIC]. Create a practical set of six copy-paste AI prompts for my day-to-day teaching work. My curriculum standards or learning targets are [STANDARDS OR LEARNING TARGETS], my class context is [CLASS CONTEXT], and the materials or constraints I must use are [MATERIALS AND CONSTRAINTS].

Create one prompt each for: lesson planning, differentiated practice, formative assessment, student feedback, family communication, and a reteach/enrichment plan. Each prompt must:
1. Include clear bracketed fields I can replace quickly.
2. Ask for concrete classroom-ready output, not broad suggestions.
3. Protect student privacy by using no student names, IEP details, grades, or identifiable work unless I provide anonymized information.
4. Require age-appropriate language, accessible formatting, and alignment to the stated learning target.
5. Avoid fabricating standards, citations, accommodations, parent contact history, or facts about individual students.

For every prompt, add a one-sentence note saying what I should inspect before using its output. Make the lesson-planning prompt request an objective, success criteria, timed sequence, checks for understanding, likely misconceptions, and an exit ticket. Make the feedback prompt ask for evidence-based comments tied to a rubric, with one actionable next step and no grade inflation.

Output a numbered list of six prompts, each 90–140 words, followed by a short “Responsible use” checklist. Before answering, check that each prompt serves a distinct teaching task and that none replaces professional judgment or required school processes. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.

Plan a [LENGTH]-minute [GRADE AND SUBJECT] lesson on [TOPIC] for this learning target: [LEARNING TARGET]. Use [REQUIRED MATERIALS] and account for [CLASS NEEDS]. Produce an objective, student-friendly success criteria, launch, modeled practice, guided practice, independent task, two checks for understanding, likely misconceptions with responses, and an exit ticket. Include timing totaling [LENGTH] minutes. Offer access supports without identifying students or inventing formal accommodations. Check that every activity directly assesses the learning target. Ask up to 3 questions only if a required input is missing.

Give feedback on this anonymized student work: [STUDENT WORK]. Assess it using [RUBRIC OR SUCCESS CRITERIA] for a [GRADE AND SUBJECT] assignment on [TASK]. Produce: two specific strengths with quoted or described evidence, one highest-priority revision, a brief next-step question, and a draft comment in language a [GRADE] student can understand. Do not assign a grade unless the rubric includes scoring rules. Do not infer effort, ability, disability, or intent. Flag rubric criteria that cannot be assessed from the work provided. Ask up to 3 questions only if required inputs are missing.

Draft a [LENGTH] family message for [GRADE AND SUBJECT] about [TOPIC OR EVENT]. Include [REQUIRED DETAILS], a plain-language explanation of why it matters for learning, any action families can take, and the exact deadline or date if provided. Write at about a [READING LEVEL] reading level and avoid education jargon, promises, or claims about individual students. Provide an email version and a shorter text-message version. Check every logistical detail against my input before answering. Ask up to 3 questions only if [TOPIC OR EVENT], [REQUIRED DETAILS], or [LENGTH] is missing.
