30 Days of AI in the Classroom | Teacher Lesson Ideas, Prompts & Activities for Grades 7–12 | AVID-Aligned, Editable

🌺 STOP GUESSING HOW TO BRING AI INTO YOUR CLASSROOM

You know AI is everywhere. You also know the resources out there
are either too techy, too vague, or built for a content area that
isn't yours. This 30-day system is different — it's classroom-tested,
pedagogy-first, and built by a teacher who teaches every day.

Whether you teach ELA, social studies, math, dance, or study skills,
each of these 30 ideas gives you a ready-to-launch activity, a
student-facing "I can" success criterion, and a copy-paste prompt
your students (or you) can drop straight into ChatGPT, Claude,
Gemini, or MagicSchool.

✨ WHAT'S INCLUDED
────────────────────────────────────

✔ The 30-Day Activity Guide (.docx, fully editable)
One AI-assisted activity per school day for 6 weeks. Each entry
includes: a classroom-ready description, an "I can" success criterion
using high-level Bloom's verbs, and a starter prompt students or
teachers can copy directly into their AI tool.

✔ The Teacher Instruction Guide (12-page PDF)
A polished, branded guide covering: Quick Start (15 minutes), three
implementation models, a 50-minute lesson arc, pedagogical foundations,
differentiation strategies, tech setup for every major AI tool, weekly
reflection prompts, and full APA references.

✔ Implementation Notes & Ethical Use Framework
Five guiding principles for bringing AI into your classroom in a way
that builds critical thinking instead of dependence.

✔ APA 7th Edition References
Six peer-reviewed and authoritative sources (Anderson & Krathwohl,
Holmes et al., Mollick & Mollick, Reiser & Carr-Chellman, U.S. DOE,
Zimmerman) so you can use this in graduate coursework, PLC presentations,
or admin pitches.
