10 ways TeachAid will transform your teaching

It's no secret that teaching is a demanding profession. The long hours, the endless cycle of planning, teaching, grading, and re-teaching—it can be a lot.

All that essential "stuff" can sometimes get in the way of what you really love about teaching: the connection with students, the joy of a lightbulb moment, and the creative spark that brought you into the classroom in the first place.

What if you could get back that time? What if a powerful tool could handle the tedious parts of lesson planning and free you up to do what you do best?

Meet TeachAid, the AI-powered co-planner that builds your entire curriculum from end to end. It’s designed to transform the way you teach and reignite your passion for the profession.

What sets TeachAid apart

After using TeachAid myself, a couple of things stood out immediately to me ...

  • A whole unit in minutes -- It's kind of incredible to watch. You describe a unit (and include any supporting resources or documents that you have). Then TeachAid starts creating lesson plans, student activities, resources ... even interactive digital activities. Now, you're the teacher and you're still in control. You can adjust anything TeachAid gives you ... but customizing a unit made for you is WAY faster and easier than creating it yourself from scratch.
  • Localized lessons: down to your own town! -- This is something a textbook could never do! Ask TeachAid to create localized content, relating learning to your location (with local foods, local festivals, local attractions, what you're known for locally). It might suggest ideas you had never considered before!

Here are 10 ways TeachAid will transform your teaching and give you back your time:

1. Create a complete unit in an instant

Generate full lessons, units, and activities in seconds — even with complex requirements. Try it now.

What I like about this: You don't have to use the full unit that it creates as-is ... but having a fast, FULL starting point is really helpful. If you want to see what a custom unit would look like -- borrowing small parts or large chunks -- TeachAid can do it in a hurry.

2. Customize an entire unit in minutes

Choose the format, and TeachAid will build it. From direct instruction and inquiry-based learning to three-act math tasks, labs, debates, and escape rooms—you're in control.  Try it now.

What I like about this: If you can dream up a way to teach a unit, TeachAid can give you ideas on how to do it ... even if you don't quite know how to do it! If you read about a new teaching technique, TeachAid can give you tips -- and big-picture ideas -- to get you started.

3. Automatically align to curriculum standards

TeachAid instantly aligns everything you create to your regional standards, whether you're in Ontario, California, New Zealand, or beyond.  Try it now.

What I like about this: This feature takes something that teachers have groaned about for years -- and integrates it effortlessly. By letting TeachAid align to standards, it can also sharpen your own teaching, giving you new twists for meeting standards that you might not have considered.

4. Simplify project-based learning

Planning a classroom build, simulation, or community project has never been easier. TeachAid generates step-by-step guides, material lists, and class management tools to save you countless hours of prep.  Try it now.

What I like about this: Class projects -- or project-based learning as a whole -- takes a lot of organization to do well. If we aren't PBL masters, it's easy to miss a step -- or a crucial way to connect learning to the project. TeachAid becomes your PBL planning assistant.

5. Plan an interactive classroom experience

Use TeachAid’s tools live in the classroom, from polls and exit tickets to real-time check-ins and adaptive supports, making every class more dynamic.  Try it now.

What I like about this: Everything! Aside from complete, customized units, this is one of my favorite features of TeachAid. Turn on student comments whenever you want, and you can collect real-time student responses -- then review them quickly and easily. It lets you drive the whole lesson from the front of the class with the materials you've already made in TeachAid. It's all in the app.

6. Give every student an AI tutor

Give students access to a built-in AI tutor that scaffolds concepts, answers questions, and supports differentiated learning—all aligned with your lesson plan.  Try it now.

What I like about this: This scales the teacher's ability to support students. It's a personalized student support that's always there waiting to help -- and it responds right in line with your plans. When students are working on a digital activity, they just pop open the AI tutor. Then, they can decide that they have their questions answered -- or to follow-up with the teacher.

7. Break down barriers with 100+ languages

Create, translate, and differentiate content in over 100 languages, including French, Spanish, Mandarin, and te reo Māori.  Try it now.

What I like about this: It's a crucial accessibility step, and it literally takes seconds to add it. You don't need to go to a separate translator app -- and hope that the formatting will work when you copy/paste it over. No student will need to suffer from a language barrier when it comes to learning materials and resources.

8. Unleash creativity with cross-curricular design

Blend subjects seamlessly—like Math + Art or Science + Literacy — within any unit or lesson.  Try it now.

What I like about this: Cross-curricular lesson design has been a challenge for teachers for ages. First, you need teachers that see the importance of it. Then, those teachers need a creative vision to make it happen. When TeachAid gives you the first steps, it can help everyone get on board and see how it might work.

9. Choose the scope that fits your needs

Create anything from a single lesson to a 12-week scaffolded unit, customized to your timeline and goals. Mix and match lesson types, assessments, and supports to match your teaching vision, not a rigid template.  Try it now.

Why I like this: This is what textbooks are terrible at ... but TeachAid shines here. The scope that drives instruction out of a textbook is "one size fits all" ... which really means "one size fits NONE." You know that certain activities and lessons resonate more with certain classes -- and with your own teaching style. This gives you flexibility.

10. Enhance your materials with AI

Drop in your own lesson plans, slide decks, articles, or worksheets, and the AI will align, scaffold, and enhance them.  Try it now.

Why I like this: Sometimes when you get a new app or digital platform, it means you have to remake a bunch of new materials and resources for it. Not in this case. Have a slide deck? A digital practice activity? Hand it to TeachAid and it'll make them interactive, connect them to curriculum and standards ... even adjust them to meet your students' needs. 

Whether you’re a new teacher, a department lead, or designing for a whole school — TeachAid gives you back your time, without sacrificing quality.

AI tools are out there and ready for us to use. Why not take advantage and get your time back so that you can focus on the parts of teaching you love. Let TeachAid build your entire curriculum—from lessons to assessments to IEP supports—and personalize it for your classroom, curriculum, and students.
