ChatGPT Prompts for Teachers
Copy-ready ChatGPT prompts for quizzes, differentiation, behaviour scripts and lesson hooks — written for UK classrooms.
Good prompts specify year group, subject, outcome, constraints and format. Vague prompts create vague worksheets.
Retrieval quiz prompt
You are helping a UK [subject] teacher. Create 8 retrieval questions for Year [X] on [topic]. Mix question types. Provide an answer key. Flag any content that may be inaccurate.
Differentiation prompt
Rewrite the explanation below for Year [X] pupils who need a clearer reading age. Keep the same key concepts. Then provide a stretch version with one deeper question.
Behaviour script prompt
Write three short, calm classroom scripts for gaining silence, issuing a reminder, and giving a consequence. UK secondary tone. No sarcasm.
