    ChatGPT for Teachers Prompts

    Teachers have a hundred small jobs every week. ChatGPT can help with some of them, if you ask in the right way. Here are prompts for the daily life of a class: opening a lesson, group work, homework, class rules and more. Copy them and replace anything in [brackets] with your own details.

    Before you start

    Do not type student names, marks or private details into an AI tool. Follow your school’s rules on AI. Always read the answer before you use it, because AI can make mistakes.

  • AI Prompts for Quizzes and Worksheets in Minutes

    A good quiz tells you what students actually understood, but writing questions takes time. These AI prompts for quizzes and worksheets give you a solid first draft, and you check every question and answer before class. Replace anything in [brackets] with your own details.

    Before you start

    Tell the AI the grade, the topic and what students already know. Keep student names and results out of your prompts. UNESCO’s guidance on generative AI in education stresses checking AI tools for ethical and educational suitability, which is a good habit for every classroom resource.

    AI prompts for quizzes and worksheets you can copy

    Always check the answers

    Use these AI prompts for quizzes and worksheets for drafts, never for final answers. AI can write a confident wrong answer, a repeated question or a calculation mistake. Solve every question yourself, compare with your textbook or curriculum, and read the options for hidden hints.

    Make the quiz fair

    • Match the questions to what you taught, not to what the AI assumes.
    • Avoid tricky wording unless that is the skill you are testing.
    • Keep a short version for students who need more time.
