Act as a veteran [GRADE LEVEL] teacher. Build a 45-minute lesson plan for [TOPIC]. Include: learning objective (1 sentence), warm-up activity (5 min), direct instruction (15 min), guided practice (15 min), independent work (8 min), exit ticket (2 min), and 1 differentiation note for advanced learners and 1 for struggling learners. Format as a clean numbered list a substitute could follow.
Take this lesson and adapt it for three learner profiles: (1) a student reading 2 grade levels below, (2) an English language learner at the intermediate level, (3) a gifted student who finishes early. For each profile, adjust vocabulary, scaffolding, and extension activities. Keep the core learning objective the same.

Build a 4-point rubric for [ASSIGNMENT TYPE] in [SUBJECT/GRADE]. Use these criteria: [LIST 3-5 CRITERIA, e.g. "Content accuracy, Organization, Voice, Mechanics"]. For each criterion, write a clear descriptor for "Exceeds (4)," "Meets (3)," "Approaching (2)," and "Beginning (1)." Use observable language students can understand. Format as a table.
Help me draft an email to a parent about [SITUATION — e.g., missing assignments, classroom behavior, academic concern, positive update]. Tone: warm, professional, direct without being defensive. Keep under 150 words. Open with the student's name and one positive observation. Then explain the situation neutrally, what I've already tried, what I'd like the parent to know, and a specific next step we can take together. End with availability to talk.
Generate 8 discussion questions for [TEXT/TOPIC/UNIT]. Mix the levels: 2 recall questions, 2 comprehension questions, 2 analysis questions, 2 evaluation/synthesis questions. For each, indicate the level. Avoid yes/no questions. Each should be answerable in 1–2 minutes by a [GRADE] student.
Explain [CONCEPT] five different ways for a [GRADE] student:
1. Using a real-world analogy
2. Using a simple visual description (so I can draw it)
3. Using a story or scenario
4. Using a hands-on activity I could run in 10 minutes
5. Using a song, rhyme, or mnemonic
Each version should stand alone — a student who only sees one of them should still understand the core idea.
Create a 10-question quiz on [TOPIC] for [GRADE LEVEL]. Mix formats: 4 multiple choice (with 4 options each, 1 correct), 3 short answer, 2 true/false (with one-sentence justification required), 1 application/word problem. After each question, include the answer and a 1-sentence explanation. Format cleanly so I can paste into a Google Doc.
Take this passage and rewrite it at three different reading levels: 3rd grade, 6th grade, and 9th grade. Preserve the core meaning and key vocabulary terms. For the 3rd grade version, define any necessary technical terms in parentheses. For the 9th grade version, keep academic vocabulary intact.

A student in my class has [DESCRIBE LEARNING NEED IN GENERAL TERMS — no names or specifics]. Suggest 8–10 specific classroom accommodations I can try this week. For each: a 1-sentence description, what materials I'd need, and how I'd know if it's working. Frame everything as low-stakes experiments, not permanent changes. Avoid generic advice — be specific and practical.
I'll be out for [N] days. Build a substitute-friendly plan for [SUBJECT/GRADE]. Include: 1-page "what to do today" overview, attendance-and-routines section, hour-by-hour schedule, exact instructions for each activity (no prep work needed), what to do if students finish early, behavior expectations, and a "what to leave for me" note for the sub. Assume the sub knows nothing about my class. Make everything self-contained.
