Lesson plan prompt builder

Pick grade, subject, standard and lesson length, and optionally the curriculum you teach with. GradeShelf writes a prompt that asks any AI for a complete lesson plan: objective, standard, materials, warm-up, direct instruction, guided and independent practice, differentiation, an exit ticket with answers, and timing. Free, no signup.

Don't type student names or personal info. This site never sends your prompt anywhere; you paste it into the AI tool yourself.

GradeShelf isn't affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any publisher or program listed here. Program names belong to their owners and are used only so the AI can match the materials you already teach with. GradeShelf doesn't copy or reproduce any publisher content.

Print lesson plan

Paste the lesson plan the AI gives you, check it, then print. It prints black on white with no menus or buttons.
