Lesson Planning
Create a lesson plan for [insert grade level or course name] that teaches the following standard: [insert learning standard].
You are a school or district leader evaluating an AI tool designed to support teachers in lesson planning, grading, student engagement, and professional development. Assess the tool based on the following criteria, using a 1-5 scale where 1 = Poor and 5 = Excellent. Provide specific examples to justify each rating.
Usability – Is the tool intuitive and accessible for teachers of all tech skill levels?
Effectiveness – How well does it improve teacher workload, student engagement, and instructional quality?
Cost – Is the pricing reasonable for schools/districts, considering its value?
Ethical Considerations – Does the tool avoid bias, ensure transparency, and use AI responsibly?
Privacy & Data Security – Does it comply with FERPA, COPPA, and other education data regulations?
Alignment with Curriculum Standards – Does it support existing instructional goals and state/national standards?
Customer Support – Is reliable technical/user support available when needed?
Integration with Existing Systems – Does it work well with LMS, SIS, and other school technologies?
Based on these ratings, provide a final recommendation: Should the school/district adopt this tool? Why or why not?"
