A step-by-step walkthrough of the GTB AI lesson generator. Learn how to select your curriculum, grade level, and topic to produce a fully structured 11-component lesson plan instantly.
Sign in or start your free trial — no credit card required.
Click 'Generate Lesson Plan' from your dashboard.
Select your country and curriculum framework (USA Common Core, Caribbean MoE, UK KS2, and more).
Choose your subject, grade level, and enter a specific topic (e.g. 'Fractions — Adding Unlike Denominators').
Click Generate. Your complete 11-component lesson plan appears in seconds.
Download as a printable PDF or save to your lesson library.
Pro tip: Be specific with your topic. 'Photosynthesis — Light Reactions' produces a more targeted plan than just 'Photosynthesis'.
Every GTB AI lesson plan includes three tiers of differentiated tasks. This tutorial shows you how to use them effectively with students who are below, at, and above grade level.
Generate a lesson plan for your chosen topic.
Scroll to Section 7: Differentiated Tasks.
Review the three tiers: Support (below grade level), Grade Level, and Extension (above grade level).
Print or share the appropriate task tier with each student group.
Use the Support tier for students who need scaffolding — it includes sentence frames and word banks.
Use the Extension tier for students who are ready for deeper application and critical thinking.
Pro tip: Avoid permanently labelling students by tier. Rotate groupings based on the skill being taught — a student who needs support in writing may be at extension level in mathematics.
GTB AI generates a complete lesson plan as a starting point. This tutorial shows you how to edit, personalise, and adapt the plan to fit your classroom context.
Generate a lesson plan and open it in your lesson library.
Click 'Edit' to open the plan in the editor.
Modify the Essential Question to reflect a local or culturally relevant context.
Adjust the warm-up activity to use materials you have available in your classroom.
Add your own examples to the Direct Instruction section.
Save your customised version — it will be stored in your library alongside the original.
Pro tip: The most effective lesson plans combine AI-generated structure with your own knowledge of your students. Use GTB AI as a scaffold, not a script.
Homeschool parents can use GTB AI to generate a complete week of lesson plans across multiple subjects in under 15 minutes. Here is how.
From your dashboard, click 'Generate Lesson Plan'.
Select your child's grade level and your preferred curriculum framework.
Generate a lesson plan for Monday's first subject (e.g. Grade 4 Mathematics — Multiplication).
Save it to your library, then repeat for each subject and each day.
Use the Unit Planner feature to organise plans into a coherent weekly or monthly sequence.
Print your weekly pack on Sunday evening — everything you need for the week in one folder.
Pro tip: Start with your core subjects (Mathematics and Language Arts) first, then add Science and Social Studies. This ensures the most important subjects are planned before time runs out.
Every GTB AI lesson plan includes a built-in exit ticket. This tutorial shows you how to use exit tickets effectively to guide your next day's instruction.
At the end of your lesson, give students 5 minutes to complete the exit ticket from Section 9 of the lesson plan.
Collect the exit tickets as students leave.
Sort them into three groups: 'Mastered', 'Developing', and 'Needs Re-teaching'.
Count how many students fall into each group.
If more than 30% are in 'Needs Re-teaching', begin the next lesson with a re-teaching warm-up.
Use the 'Developing' group for a targeted small-group session during independent practice the next day.
Pro tip: Keep exit tickets short — two or three questions maximum. The goal is a quick snapshot of understanding, not a mini-test.
Caribbean teachers can generate lesson plans aligned to the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Education curriculum, CXC syllabuses, and SEA preparation topics.
Click 'Generate Lesson Plan' from your dashboard.
Under 'Country / Curriculum', select 'Caribbean — Trinidad & Tobago MoE' or 'Caribbean — CXC/CSEC'.
Choose your subject (Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, or Social Studies).
Select your grade level (Infants A through Standard 6 for primary; Form 1–5 for secondary CXC).
Enter your specific topic — for SEA preparation, try 'Fractions', 'Comprehension Strategies', or 'The Water Cycle'.
Download your plan and use it directly in class.
Pro tip: For SEA preparation, generate lesson plans for the most commonly tested topics first: fractions, percentages, comprehension, grammar, and the water cycle. Build a bank of these plans early in the school year.
The GTB AI Unit Planner lets you map out a coherent sequence of lessons across four weeks, ensuring your instruction builds logically from foundational to advanced skills.
From your dashboard, navigate to 'Unit Planner'.
Enter your unit title, subject, grade level, and duration (e.g. 4 weeks).
GTB AI generates a week-by-week overview with learning objectives for each week.
Click into any week to generate full lesson plans for each day.
Review the sequence to ensure each week builds on the previous one.
Export the complete unit plan as a PDF for your planning folder or school records.
Pro tip: Begin your unit with a diagnostic activity to assess students' prior knowledge. This helps you identify which foundational concepts need to be addressed before moving to new content.
GTB AI makes it easy to share lesson plans with co-teachers, department heads, or mentors. Here is how to generate a shareable link in seconds.
Open any saved lesson plan from your library.
Click the 'Share' button in the top-right corner of the lesson view.
GTB AI generates a unique shareable link for that lesson plan.
Copy the link and send it via email, WhatsApp, or any messaging platform.
Your colleague can view the full lesson plan without needing a GTB AI account.
Shared plans are read-only — your original is never modified.
Pro tip: Use the sharing feature to build a collaborative lesson library with your department. Share your best plans and ask colleagues to share theirs in return.
