Every Prompt Here Is Built on CRAFT
Eclatech's five-part prompting framework. You don't need all five every time, but the more you give, the better the output.
C
Context
Give background. What's the situation? What does your audience already know?
R
Role
Tell the AI who to be. This sets the expertise level and perspective.
A
Action
State exactly what you want done. Be specific about the deliverable.
F
Format
Describe the output structure: length, tone, layout, style.
T
Target
Define the intended audience and any boundaries the output must respect.
The One Rule That Never Changes
Never enter student names, ID numbers, grades, IEP or 504 details, behavior records, or photos into any AI tool. When you need help with a specific student, describe the situation without identifying them: "a 4th grader who reads two levels below grade and loses focus during independent work." The AI gives you the same quality help, and no private data leaves your hands.
Lesson Planning & Curriculum
6 prompts
Build the backbone of your week: full lessons, units, hooks, and warm-ups.
Full Lesson Plan
When you need a complete, standards-aligned lesson from scratch.
You are an experienced [GRADE/SUBJECT] teacher and curriculum designer. I teach [GRADE] [SUBJECT]. My students are [DESCRIBE: skill range, class size, anything relevant]. The topic for this lesson is [TOPIC], and it connects to [STANDARD OR LEARNING GOAL]. Write a complete lesson plan including a clear learning objective, a hook to open, step-by-step activities, a check for understanding, and a closing. Organized with headings and time estimates for each part. Total lesson length: [MINUTES]. Use plain language. Include at least one hands-on or discussion activity. Do not assume technology I may not have.
Make it yours: Add "Include a short formative assessment at the end" to get an exit ticket built in.
Unit Outline
When you're planning a multi-day or multi-week unit and need the arc mapped out.
You are a curriculum designer who sequences learning so concepts build logically. I am planning a unit on [TOPIC] for [GRADE] [SUBJECT]. The unit will run [NUMBER] days/weeks and should build toward [END GOAL OR ASSESSMENT]. Create a day-by-day (or week-by-week) unit outline showing the focus, key activities, and how each day connects to the next. A table: column for day/week, focus, main activity, and assessment checkpoint. Build in review and practice, not just new content. Flag where students often struggle with this topic.
Make it yours: Follow up with "Now expand Day 3 into a full lesson plan" to drill into any day.
Lesson Hook / Opener
When you want to grab attention in the first five minutes.
You are a creative teacher known for memorable lesson openers. I'm teaching [TOPIC] to [GRADE] students. I want to open with something that sparks curiosity before I introduce the content. Give me 5 different hook ideas: a question, a scenario, a quick demo, a surprising fact, and a short activity. One or two sentences each, labeled by type. Keep each hook under 5 minutes and doable with basic classroom materials.
Exit Ticket Set
When you want quick end-of-class checks for understanding.
You are an assessment-savvy teacher who writes sharp formative checks. Today's lesson covered [TOPIC] in my [GRADE] [SUBJECT] class. The key thing I want students to walk away understanding is [KEY TAKEAWAY]. Write 5 exit ticket options that quickly tell me whether students got the main idea. A mix: one multiple choice, one short answer, one "rate your confidence and explain," one quick-draw or diagram, one "one thing I'm still confused about." Each should take students under 3 minutes. No prep materials required.
Warm-Up / Bell Ringer Bank
When you want a week's worth of openers ready to go.
You are a teacher who uses the first 5 minutes of class intentionally. I teach [GRADE] [SUBJECT]. We're currently working on [TOPIC OR SKILL]. I want bell ringers that review prior learning or prime today's lesson. Create 5 warm-ups, one for each day of the week, that build on each other. Numbered by day. Each is a single prompt or short task students can start independently. Keep them low-prep and self-explanatory so students can begin as soon as they sit down.
Make it yours: Swap in "spiral review of [EARLIER TOPIC]" to keep older skills fresh.
Real-World Application Connector
When students ask "when will I ever use this?"
You are a teacher who makes abstract content feel relevant to young people. My [GRADE] students are learning [CONCEPT] in [SUBJECT]. They don't see why it matters. Give me real-world examples and a short activity that connects [CONCEPT] to students' actual lives, interests, or future careers. 3 to 5 relatable examples, then one 10-minute activity that uses one of them. Use examples that fit a [rural / suburban / specific community] context. Avoid clichés.
Assessment & Feedback
6 prompts
Create rubrics, questions, and feedback faster, while keeping student data private.
Rubric Builder
When you need a clear, fair rubric for any assignment.
You are an assessment specialist who writes clear, student-friendly rubrics. I'm assessing a [ASSIGNMENT TYPE: essay, project, presentation, lab report] for [GRADE] [SUBJECT]. The assignment asks students to [DESCRIBE THE TASK]. Create a rubric with [NUMBER] criteria and [3 or 4] performance levels. A table: criteria down the left, performance levels across the top, with a short description in each cell. Use language students can understand. Make the difference between levels concrete, not vague.
Make it yours: Add "Write a student-facing checklist version too" so learners can self-check before submitting.
Quiz
When you need assessment questions on a topic fast.
You are a teacher who writes well-aligned assessment questions. I need to assess student understanding of [TOPIC] in my [GRADE] [SUBJECT] class. Students should be able to [LEARNING OBJECTIVE]. Write [NUMBER] questions at varying difficulty levels: some recall, some application, some analysis. Group by type. Provide an answer key at the end. Make sure every question maps to the objective. Avoid trick questions.
Make it yours: Specify "Align to depth-of-knowledge levels 1 through 3" for tiered rigor.
Multiple Choice with Smart Distractors
When you want MC questions where the wrong answers actually diagnose misconceptions.
You are an assessment designer who writes diagnostic multiple-choice items. Topic: [TOPIC] for [GRADE] [SUBJECT]. Common misconceptions students have include [LIST IF YOU KNOW THEM, or write "identify likely ones"]. Write [NUMBER] multiple-choice questions where each wrong answer reflects a specific, common misconception. Question, four options, correct answer marked, and a one-line note on what each distractor reveals. No "all of the above" or throwaway options. Every distractor should be plausible.
Feedback on a Student Draft
When you want help giving constructive, specific feedback.
You are a supportive teacher who gives feedback that helps students improve without discouraging them. I'm giving feedback on a [ASSIGNMENT TYPE] from a [GRADE] student. Here is the work: [PASTE THE STUDENT'S TEXT]. The assignment goal was [GOAL]. Suggest feedback I could give: 2 specific strengths, 2 concrete areas to improve, and one next step. Written in a warm, direct tone I could adapt and hand to the student. Focus on the writing and thinking, not the student. Keep it encouraging and actionable.
Privacy: Remove the student's name and any identifying details before pasting their work. "A student" is all the AI needs.
Report Card Comment Bank
When report card season hits and you need varied, professional comments.
You are a teacher who writes honest, constructive, parent-friendly comments. I'm writing report card comments for [GRADE] [SUBJECT]. I need comments that cover a range of performance: thriving, on track, inconsistent, and needs support. Write a bank of [NUMBER] comment templates across those four performance levels. Grouped by level. Each 2 to 3 sentences with a [BLANK] where I'd insert a specific detail. Professional and caring. No jargon. Always pair a concern with a path forward.
Make it yours: Keep the [BLANK]s generic so the bank works for any student; you add the specifics by hand.
Privacy: Write the comments as reusable templates with blanks. Don't paste real student names or grades into the AI.
Student Self-Assessment Prompts
When you want students reflecting on their own learning.
You are a teacher who builds metacognition through reflection. My [GRADE] students just finished [ASSIGNMENT OR UNIT]. I want them to reflect on their own work and growth.

Age-appropriate for [GRADE]. Encourage honesty, not just positive answers.
Differentiation & Support
5 prompts
Meet every learner where they are, from emerging readers to students who need a challenge.
Reading-Level Adaptation
When you have one text and a class reading at many levels.
You are a reading specialist who adapts text complexity while keeping the meaning. I have a passage I want to use with my [GRADE] class, but students read across a wide range. Here is the text: [PASTE TEXT]. Rewrite this passage at three reading levels: below grade, on grade, and above grade. Three labeled versions. Keep the core ideas identical across all three.

Multilingual / ELL Support
When you're supporting English learners.
You are an ESL/ELL specialist who scaffolds content for multilingual learners. I have English learners in my [GRADE] [SUBJECT] class working on [TOPIC].

Scaffolded Version for Struggling Learners
When a task is too big a leap for some students.
You are a special education and intervention specialist. My [GRADE] students are working on [TASK OR ASSIGNMENT]. Some need more structure to access it. Break this task into smaller steps with built-in supports: a model, sentence starters, and a checklist. A scaffolded step-by-step version of the assignment, ready to hand to a student. Keep the end goal the same. Add support, not a lower ceiling.
Make it yours: Describe the need generally ("students who need more structure"), never by naming a student or their IEP.
Privacy: Describe learning needs in general terms. Do not enter student names, IEP/504 details, or diagnoses.
Enrichment
When your fast finishers or advanced learners need more.
You are a gifted-education specialist who designs deeper, not just harder, tasks. Some students in my [GRADE] [SUBJECT] class master [TOPIC] quickly and need a meaningful challenge, not just more of the same. Create 3 extension activities that push students to analyze, create, or apply [TOPIC] in a new way. Each with a one-line description and the thinking skill it targets. Avoid busywork. Each task should genuinely deepen understanding.
Accommodation-Aligned Modifications
When you need to adapt a task for documented learning needs.
You are an inclusion specialist who modifies tasks while protecting the learning goal. I'm adapting [ASSIGNMENT] for students who need accommodations such as [GENERAL CATEGORY: extended processing time, reduced writing load, visual supports, chunked directions]. Suggest 3 versions of this assignment that provide those supports. Each labeled by the support it provides, with a note on what stays the same. Preserve rigor. Supports change how students access the task, not what they learn.
Make it yours: Use accommodation categories, not student names. The AI can help with the strategy without any private data.
Privacy: Refer only to general accommodation types. Never enter a student's name, IEP, or 504 plan into an AI tool.

Classroom AI Policy Starters
4 templates
Copy, customize, and post in your classroom or LMS.
The 3-Sentence Policy Builder
Every classroom AI policy answers three questions. Fill in the blanks to create yours.
1. When is AI welcome?
In this classroom, you may use AI tools to [brainstorm ideas / check grammar / generate practice problems / research topics / organize notes].
2. When is AI not appropriate?
You may NOT use AI to [write your final draft / complete assessments / submit work without your own thinking / replace reading or research].
3. What happens if the line is crossed?
If AI is used in a way that is not allowed, [we will have a conversation about it / the assignment will be revised with your own work / we will discuss what responsible use looks like].
Sample Policy: Elementary (K-5)
In our classroom, we can use AI to help us brainstorm ideas, ask questions about topics we are learning, and get help organizing our thoughts. AI is like a helper that sometimes gets things wrong, so we always check its answers. We do NOT use AI to do our work for us. Our writing, our thinking, and our answers should be ours. If AI helps us start, we still need to do the real work ourselves. If someone uses AI in a way that is not allowed, we will talk about it together and redo the work with our own thinking. This is a learning moment, not a punishment.
Sample Policy: Middle School (6-8)
You may use AI tools to brainstorm, research, generate practice problems, and organize your notes. When you use AI, you are expected to tell me how you used it and what you changed or added. You may NOT use AI to write your final drafts, complete assessments, or submit responses that are not in your own words. If AI helped you start, your finished product should show YOUR thinking. If AI is used in a way that crosses the line, we will have a conversation, and you will revise the work to reflect your own effort. Repeated issues will involve a parent conversation.
Sample Policy: High School (9-12)
AI tools may be used for research, brainstorming, editing, and generating study materials. Any use of AI must be disclosed. If you used AI as part of your process, include a brief note explaining how. AI may NOT be used to generate final submissions, complete timed assessments, or produce work you present as entirely your own. Using AI-generated content without disclosure is a violation of academic integrity. Violations will be handled through our school's academic integrity policy. The first instance is a conversation and revision. Patterns of misuse will be documented and escalated.
