Context assets for lesson planning
A context asset is anything that captures how you plan and teach, so AI doesn’t have to guess. Copy these samples, make them yours, and give them to your AI so it plans the way you do.
How to use them
- Gather what you haveStart with the lesson plan template and unit calendar. Swap in your own structure where yours is different.
- Write down what’s in your headFill in the How I Plan instructions with the habits you’d explain to a student teacher.
- Make it callableSave all three in one folder, or upload them to a Gemini Gem, Custom GPT, Copilot agent, or Claude Project.
Step 1: Gather what you have
Lesson plan template
The structure every lesson follows, so AI drafts in your format instead of its own.
Step 1: Gather what you have
Unit calendar
Your predictable weekly rhythm and unit overview, so every lesson lands in the right place.
Step 2: Write down what’s in your head
How I Plan instructions
Your planning process in plain language, with guardrails. This is the asset that turns AI into your digital TA.
See the difference
Once your assets are callable, your weekly prompt shrinks to one line. Try both of these this week.
