Lesson Planet's AI Teacher Tools module is a suite of 80+ time-saving AI tools designed by educators specifically for K-12 teachers - lesson plans, worksheets, rubrics, DOK questions, bell ringers, quizzes, newsletters, choice boards, and many more. They're included with a Lesson Planet membership and are designed to help you plan better and faster, differentiate with ease, and inspire student learning.

You choose a specific tool from the menu of over 80 AI Teacher Tools (e.g., "Lesson Plan" or "Rubric Creator"), add detailed information like topic, grade, standards, and duration, then click Generate. Our system securely sends your inputs to our vetted AI providers acting as our processors; this generates draft output that you can then easily review, edit, copy, and/or save to your My Content area.

We use a range of reputable AI models to ensure relevance, quality, reliability, and safety. The specific model changes as LLM's evolve and may vary depending on the specific AI Teacher Tool being used.

• Be specific: include information such as topic, grade, standards, duration, customization, etc.
• Add context: paste a short sample, success criteria, or target reading level.
• Use constraints: number of questions, rubric columns, text length, etc.
• Iterate: your prompts and click regenerate to update, expand, or refine your output.

• Always teacher-review outputs for accuracy, bias, age-appropriateness, and local alignment.
• Avoid full student identifiers or any personally identifiable information (PII).
• Don't use AI for high-stakes decisions (grading/placement/discipline) without teacher review.
• Follow your school and district AI, academic-integrity, and accessibility policies.

• AI can make mistakes. Always fact-check information, names, dates, and standards before sharing with students.
• Long/complex prompts will take a bit longer to generate depending on the tool (usually not more than 20 seconds).

Yes. You can edit inline in the output editor or regenerate an output to get alternatives.

Use the Save button to store your output to your My Content area. You can also click the Copy button to copy your output to the clipboard and then paste it into any document you prefer (e.g. Google Docs, Microsoft Word, etc.).

Yes - regeneration is a part of the workflow and will help you when refining your output.

No—depending on the tool, some fields are optional. But using fields that are frequently optional, such as Standards (e.g., CCSS, NGSS) and Customize (tone, level, constraints, additional criteria), typically will yield richer, classroom-ready results.
