‘Human Intelligence + AI: Building an Inclusive Future for Every Learner
In recent months, GenAI’s capability to create lesson plans has evolved from a revolutionary novelty to a common functionality. Numerous tools and services have emerged, offering various ways to reduce teacher workload by generating educational materials. However, the initial fascination with these tools is waning, and the focus has shifted towards aligning GenAI tools with individual teacher identities, curriculum content, and underlying evidence. In this workshop, we introduce our innovative solution: LessonInspector.ai. Designed to promote critical reflection on GenAI-produced lesson plans, LessonInspector leverages themes from the Core Content Framework and the Teachers’ Standards to analyse uploaded lesson plans—whether human- or GenAI-produced. It provides both qualitative and quantitative analyses with handy visuals, facilitating a critical evaluation of the lesson plan’s quality. Recognising that measures of quality are context-dependent, we showcase the use of different inspector ‘personas’ to highlight the diversity of evaluations possible. Rather than serving as an objective measure of worth, LessonInspector is intended as a scaffold for reflective prompts, encouraging teachers to consider and reflect on the analysis provided. How well does it align with their Teacher Identity? Through this process, LessonInspector promotes an iterative cycle of professional development, tailored to individual school or institutional ethos. Join us to explore and interact with LessonInspector. Bring your own lesson plans or generate new ones using the multitude of GenAI tools now available (Aila is free). Experience how Lesson Inspector can transform your approach to lesson planning and professional development.
