Question 1

What is aiteachers.pro?

Accepted Answer

A free field guide of AI tools built specifically for teachers. Every tool is a pre-built recipe, pick what you need to produce (a lesson plan, a rubric, a parent email, an IEP-friendly worksheet), fill in a few details about your class, and get something you'd actually use tomorrow.

Question 2

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Browse the tools on the homepage or jump to a category (Planning, Assessment, Communication, Differentiation, Admin, Professional growth). Open the tool, fill in the short form with details about your class, and hit generate. You'll be handed off to your AI assistant with a fully-formed prompt ready to go.

Question 3

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. You can preview and use every tool without signing up. There's nothing to install and no paywall on the tools themselves.

Question 4

Which AI assistants does it work with?

Accepted Answer

Our prompts are model-agnostic, they work with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or whatever your district has approved. You bring your assistant, we bring the recipe.

Question 5

Is this appropriate for K-12?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every tool is written with classroom teachers as the primary user, not students. The outputs are teacher-facing artifacts (plans, rubrics, drafts) that you review and adapt before anything reaches a kid.

Question 6

Should I use these tools with students in the room?

Accepted Answer

Some yes, some no. Planning and admin tools are for teacher prep, do them on your own time. Discussion-question generators, sentence-frame builders, and exemplars can be great to project and edit with a class, if your district allows it.

Question 7

What about academic integrity?

Accepted Answer

That's a conversation with your students, not a filter. The Communication category includes a template for the 'here's how AI works in this class' talk. The short version: AI as a thinking partner is fine and worth teaching; AI as a submission is cheating.

Question 8

Can I use it for IEPs and 504 plans?

Accepted Answer

For brainstorming accommodations and drafting narrative sections, yes, never paste identifiable student information into a consumer tool. Anonymize ("S1, S2") and use it to draft, not to decide.

Question 9

Do you store the information I type into the forms?

Accepted Answer

No. Form inputs are processed in your browser and handed off to your AI assistant. We don't keep a copy of what you typed or what the assistant produced.

Question 10

Is it safe to paste student work into these tools?

Accepted Answer

Only if the work is anonymized and your district has approved the AI assistant you're using. Strip names, student IDs, and anything from an IEP before you paste. When in doubt, ask your tech director.

Question 11

Is aiteachers.pro FERPA-compliant?

Accepted Answer

aiteachers.pro itself doesn't collect student data, we hand off prompts to the AI provider you choose. FERPA compliance for the assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) depends on which product tier and district agreement you're using. Confirm with your district before using any AI tool with identifiable student data.

Question 12

Why does my output feel generic?

Accepted Answer

You didn't tell it who your class is. "4th grade math" produces generic. "26 students, 5 ELLs, 3 IEPs, coming in loud after lunch, 45 minutes with no printer" produces something you'd actually teach.

Question 13

How much detail should I put in the class-context field?

Accepted Answer

2-4 sentences of the honest stuff you'd tell a substitute. Not everything, just what would change how you'd plan the lesson.

Question 14

Should I edit the output before using it?

Accepted Answer

Always. The best workflow is: generate, read every line, cut what doesn't sound like you or fit your kids. Treat the output as a strong first draft, not a final artifact.

Question 15

The AI cut off mid-answer. How do I get the rest?

Accepted Answer

Most assistants stop when they hit a length limit. Reply 'continue' or 'keep going' and the model will pick up where it left off.

Question 16

The lesson plan doesn't fit my time block.

Accepted Answer

Tell it. 'This is 15 minutes too long, cut the second activity and tighten the hook to 3 minutes.' Iteration beats a perfect first prompt.

Question 17

It's using American terms and I teach in the UK / Australia / Canada.

Accepted Answer

Add one line to the class context: 'Use British English and UK curriculum terms (KS2, Y4, etc.)', or the equivalent for your system. It will adjust for the whole output.

Question 18

Is there a paid plan?

Accepted Answer

No. aiteachers.pro is free. The cost, if any, is on your AI assistant's side (ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, etc.), and our tools work fine on free tiers of all the major assistants.
