In today’s fast-paced educational landscape, teachers are constantly looking for ways to save time, personalize instruction, and meet curriculum standards more efficiently. Enter the BIGGEST teacher hack: AI-powered lesson planning, an innovative solution that transforms hours of prep work into minutes. While there are many tools out there, TeachShare stands out as the #1 platform for creating smart, standards-aligned lesson plans with ease. Here’s how to create high-quality lesson plans using AI, and why TeachShare is the ultimate tool to do it.


Creating Lesson Plans With TeachShare

Step 1: Open the TeachShare Toolbox

Start by logging into your TeachShare account and heading over to the TeachShare Toolbox. This is your central hub for all things planning, creating, and collaborating.




Step 2: Select the Lesson Plan Generator from our Toolbox

Browse through our extensive repository of AI tools, and choose the Lesson Plan Generator to start AI generating your perfect custom lesson plan.




Step 3: Customize with Smart Drop-downs

Once you’ve clicked into the Lesson Plan Generator, fill out the intuitive dropdown menu options:

  • Grade Level: Choose the appropriate grade to tailor content to your students' developmental stage.

  • Topic: Select from a wide range of subjects and subtopics.

  • Additional Criteria: Include details such as learning objectives, instructional strategies, or assessment types.

  • Standards Alignment: Align your lesson plan to Common Core, NGSS, or state-specific standards with a single click.



Step 4: Click Generate

With all your selections in place, click “Generate.” TeachShare’s AI engine instantly produces a complete, structured lesson plan—complete with objectives, standards alignment, duration of each activity, lesson structure, assessments, and additional resources.



Step 5: Refine with Chat

Once your lesson plan is generated, use TeachShare’s built-in chat assistant to fine-tune the content. Want to add a group activity? Modify the assessment format? Adjust it for English Language Learners? Simply type your request into the chat, and the AI will revise your lesson in real-time until it’s just right.


And just like that, within a couple minutes, you have a perfectly curated lesson plan at your fingertips!


Creating Lesson Plans with Other AI Chatbots

While TeachShare is the most streamlined and education-focused platform, you can also use general AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, or Google Gemini to brainstorm ideas or draft lesson components. Here are some generalized prompts to try:

  • Create a [grade level] [subject] lesson on [topic] aligned with [curriculum standards].

  • Write a [duration]-minute interactive [subject] lesson for [grade level] students focusing on [topic or skill].

  • Design a [subject] quiz for [grade level] students based on [topic or concept].

  • Create a detailed [subject] lesson plan for [grade level] students on the topic of [topic]. The lesson should be [duration in minutes] long and include:

    • Learning objectives aligned with [curriculum standards]

    • A warm-up or hook activity

    • Direct instruction components

    • Guided practice with examples or activities

    • Independent practice or application task

    • Assessment or exit ticket

    • Differentiation strategies for [student needs]

    • Materials or resources needed


However, keep in mind that while these chatbots can generate content, they lack the curriculum-specific tools, standards integration, and educator-centric design that TeachShare offers.
