Save planning and grading time without giving up your judgment. ChatGPT for Teachers is a free, practical starting guide from Teach Between the Lines for using ChatGPT in lesson planning, scanned student work, and homework folder reviews.
The guide walks through a clear routine: give ChatGPT your own source materials and directions, start with one lesson and a small sample of student work, and review every result before using it.
Plan and revise a lesson: Draft a timed lesson from your own curriculum and standards, trim it to fit your class period, and create scaffolded versions of handouts.
Scan work and request grading support: Prepare readable scans, supply the rubric before the papers, and check suggested scores, including Glow and Grow feedback students can act on.
Review homework folders: Organize and connect folders, review one period and one assignment at a time, and identify missing work without guessing.
Each section includes copy-and-adapt prompts you can fill in for your own subject and grade level. Guidance on protecting student information comes before any student work is uploaded.
Included:
Classroom setup steps and a first practice task
8 copy-and-adapt prompts
Student privacy guidance
Bradford's classroom workflow example from ninth grade World History
A pre-use checklist for reviewing results
