4. Use a teacher-focused prompt, for example:
   “Create a 45-minute lesson plan on adding fractions with unlike denominators for 6th grade.”

5. Review the outline produced by ClickUp AI, then adjust learning objectives, timing, and materials to match your class.

Refine Standards and Objectives

1. Highlight a rough objective you already wrote.

2. Click the AI button and choose an option such as “Improve writing” or “Make more formal”.

3. Ask ClickUp AI to align the objective to specific standards by including them in your prompt.

4. Compare the result to your curriculum guide and edit where needed.

Design Activities and Assessments Using ClickUp

1. In the same Doc, open ClickUp AI again.

2. Prompt it to “Generate three formative assessment ideas for this lesson” or “Suggest collaborative activities for mixed-ability groups”.

3. Convert accepted ideas into task checklists so you can track materials, due dates, and student groups.

4. Attach rubrics or grading criteria as separate Docs linked to the task.

Support Differentiated Instruction With ClickUp AI

Teachers can adapt content for different reading levels and learning styles directly in the workspace.

Adjust Reading Levels With ClickUp

1. Paste a passage, word problem, or instructions into a Doc.

2. Highlight the text and open ClickUp AI.

4. Save separate versions in organized folders for each group of learners.

Create Scaffolds and Supports Using ClickUp

1. Ask ClickUp AI to “Add guiding questions for struggling readers” or “Provide step-by-step hints for this math problem”.

2. Turn each hint or question into a checklist item that students can work through one at a time.

3. Use tasks to assign specific scaffolded materials to groups or individual students.

Organizing daily classroom work becomes easier when you use structured tasks, lists, and views.

Build a Class Task System in ClickUp

Writing Feedback Faster With ClickUp AI

Feedback is more consistent and faster to produce when assisted by AI-generated suggestions.

Draft Student Feedback in ClickUp

3. Use ClickUp AI to “Turn this into constructive feedback for a middle school student”.

4. Review and personalize the message before posting or sharing.

Create Reusable Feedback Templates

1. In a Doc, ask ClickUp AI to generate feedback templates for common strengths and weaknesses.

2. Organize templates into categories such as writing, math reasoning, and participation.

3. Copy and adapt them when grading similar assignments across the class.

Collaborating With Staff Using ClickUp

Departments and grade-level teams can share planning documents and AI prompts to stay aligned.

Share ClickUp Docs With Colleagues

1. Create shared Docs for curriculum maps, pacing guides, and assessments.

3. Store and maintain these procedures in a central Doc so new staff can quickly adopt them.

Tips for Responsible Use of ClickUp AI

While ClickUp AI boosts productivity, teachers should still apply professional judgment.

• Always review AI-generated content for accuracy and age-appropriate language.

• Avoid entering sensitive student information or personally identifiable details in prompts.
