Teacher Assistant Quick Start Guide

This guide introduces how to create lesson workflows, generate instructional materials, and review AI-generated content.

Getting Started

  1. Sign in to your CK-12 teacher account at CK-12.
  2. Open the Teacher Assistant from the available educator tools.
  3. Enter a question, request, or classroom task in the chat interface.
  4. Review and refine the generated results as needed.

The more specific your prompt, the more tailored the response will be.

Creating a Lesson Workflow

The Teacher Assistant can help teachers organize and develop lesson components step by step.

A lesson workflow may include:

  • Learning objectives
  • Classroom activities
  • Guided practice
  • Assessments
  • Discussion questions
  • CK-12 resource recommendations

Unlike the Teacher Agent, the Teacher Assistant focuses on helping teachers complete individual instructional tasks through conversation and follow-up prompts.

Example Workflow Prompt

  • Create a Grade 5 lesson outline on fractions with a warm-up activity and exit ticket.

You can continue refining the workflow by asking follow-up questions such as:

  • Add collaborative activities.
  • Include higher-order thinking questions.
  • Recommend CK-12 simulations for this lesson.

Additional Workflow Examples

  • Generate a lesson introduction for ecosystems.
  • Create discussion questions for a chemistry class.
  • Build guided practice problems for linear equations.
  • Recommend CK-12 videos for Earth science.
