Use AI for planning and differentiation while verifying accuracy
AI can significantly streamline the planning process, allowing the teacher to remain the expert designer and facilitator. Use AI to quickly draft lesson plans or outlines aligned to specific standards, create diverse differentiated texts (simplified or advanced), and build initial rubrics or sample student exemplars for assignments.
However, all AI output must be treated as a draft. You must adopt clear verification habits: always double-check facts, ask the AI to cite sources or quotes where possible, and adjust the content to align with your pedagogical goals and professional judgment. This is particularly crucial in humanities and social studies, where subtle errors in context or history are often harder to spot than in math or science.
