Work & OperationsDone with ChatGPT
Draft lesson plans and school paperwork for teachers
A teacher used ChatGPT for lesson plans, reflections, PowerPoints, assessment notifications, and marking, saving hours of planning.
- What They Did
- A teacher used ChatGPT as an administrative assistant for lesson sequences, reflections, PowerPoints, programs, assessment notifications, marking, and even draft student reports. They gave it prompts plus short assessment notes, then checked and edited the output themselves; in comments, they stressed that everything still needed vetting.
- How It Went
- The teacher says it saved them hours of planning and cut admin time enough to focus more on teaching. It was not perfect, and they found its academic references could look convincing but be made up.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch was verification: it produced useful first drafts fast, but the teacher says bogus citations and imperfect output meant they still had to review everything.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT
I teach [subject] to [grade/year level]. Using the curriculum notes in [folder or description], draft a lesson plan for [topic] lasting [duration], plus a short slide outline, a reflection template, and a parent-facing note about the upcoming assessment. Save each as its own document in [folder] and stop when all four are done for my review.
