Quick Win: Using AI for Lesson Design

Educators are now using AI to design engaging lessons in minutes, not hours. What used to take us months to design, we can now do in a matter of minutes and spend our time where it counts! Engaged with our students!

This past year I presented to a group of 90+ teachers and we had a race to see who could unpack a standard, identify prior knowledge, create "I Can" statements, develop scaffolds & supports with formative assessments, a student-friendly rubric with the fastest completion time. 

The result? A standards unpacking showdown in just under 5 minutes. Here's is how

Start with a simple prompt: “Pretend you are an accomplished Ohio 6th grade reading teacher. Identify the main ideas, skills, and concepts within the standard: RI.6.2 Analyze informational text development. a. Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details. b. Provide an objective summary of the text that includes the central idea and relevant details. 

Once you see the result, you will be amazed. This is just the start! 

Tweak your prompt to match your standards, tone, and class needs. 

AI gives back the most precious thing educators have—time.

Want the entire series of prompts we used to get high quality results that teachers could take and use in their classrooms immediately?

Sometimes, learning AI starts with curiosity and a little fun.

This week, I asked Copilot AI to turn a photo of my dogs into creative cartoon version and the results were adorable.

It reminded me of something we talk about often:
AI doesn’t just change how we work, it changes how we wonder.

Exploring AI creatively builds the same confidence educators and leaders need to apply it meaningfully in classrooms, schools, and organizations.

If we can use AI to create art from a simple photo, imagine what’s possible when we apply it to lesson design, leadership strategy, or data storytelling.

💡 Teachers aligning workforce-ready instruction to state standards

This is what The Educator AgriNetwork was designed to do. We are bridging the gap between education, workforce, and innovation.
