💡 How to Use These Prompts
Ready to Go Deeper?
You’ve built your assistant. You’ve learned how to talk to it. You’ve started using it to think, plan, and problem-solve in real ways. That’s a solid start. The next step isn’t better prompts. It’s getting clear on how you lead. When your leadership style is clear, your assistant can support you more consistently and in ways that actually reflect how you think, decide, and show up in your classroom. That’s what the Classroom CEO Brand Sprint is designed for. It helps you define your leadership identity and articulate what matters most to you, so your assistant starts thinking more like you instead of giving generic advice.
👉 Explore the Brand Sprint
Here's a taste of what it can handle:
✅ Draft lesson plans in your voice ✅ Brainstorm engagement ideas based on your goals ✅ Help organize classroom routines and communications ✅ Create templates, checklists, and mini-systems ✅ Reflect with you after a tough day or big win ✅ Save you HOURS of decision-making time
What it can't do:
🚫 Replace your professional judgment 🚫 Read your mind (unless you prompt it well—don’t worry, I'll show you how) 🚫 Do your job for you
Leadership first.
If you don’t lead the way, your assistant will spit out cookie-cutter advice.But when you set the tone—your values, your vision, your voice—you’re not just using a tool... 👉 You’re building a branded leadership system that runs with you, not against you. And it all starts right here: with a little intentional setup, a whole lot of clarity, and your unique teacher brand front and center.

What to Know:
First drafts are a starting line, not the finish line.
Teacher Boss Move Tip:
Use follow-up prompts like "revise," "reframe," "expand," or "tighten" instead of trying to get everything perfect in one go.
Mini Example:
✅ "I like the structure. Now, can you expand the opening with a more powerful hook?"
What to Know:
AI learns your style faster when you correct or guide it.
Teacher Boss Move Tip:
Use quick feedback like "Make it more concise," "Use more vivid examples," or "That’s too formal, try a more relaxed tone."

Flag anything that looks like a potential overload and offer suggestions on how I might better prep myself for success.”
What to Know:
Vague input = vague output. If you want gold, ask for gold.
Teacher Boss Move Tip:
Include details like tone, style, audience, format, and examples in your prompts.
Mini Example:
❌ "Help me write a newsletter." ✅ "Draft a friendly, motivational newsletter for new teachers that sounds upbeat but professional. Highlight a quick leadership tip and end with an inspiring quote."
🚀 Kickoff Companion
• “I’m starting a new [project/unit/initiative]. Ask me 3 questions to help me clarify my vision before I begin.”
📣 Sounding Board:

It's Go Time...Let's Write Your Onboarding Script
🔹 Action: Draft your onboarding script by plugging your brand into the starter prompt. 🔹 Prompt Template:(copy + paste this into your chosen AI platform) "You are my Classroom Executive Assistant. Your job is to support me by thinking, speaking, and acting in ways that reflect my leadership style and classroom brand. Here's what you need to know about me:" Primary Brand Model: [Insert] Influencing Brand Model: [Insert] Brand Anchor Words: [Insert 4 words] Brand Statement: [Insert 2-3 sentences] "Use this information to guide your tone, language, suggestions, and overall approach.

• Give me a quick way to check how confident my students feel about today’s lesson. • What’s a student-friendly reflection question I can use to close today’s class? • Help me reflect—what’s one way I could improve today’s lesson delivery?
What to Know:
AI thinks better when it knows who it is pretending to be.
Teacher Boss Move Tip:
Assign your assistant a “role” to sharpen its perspective.
Mini Example:
✅ "You are a veteran teacher coach with 15+ years of experience. Help me design a 30-minute training for first-year teachers on classroom leadership."
🧠 Adaptive Instruction
Use these prompts to help you read the room and adjust.
• “Give me two ways I can scaffold [task] for students who need extra support.” • “Suggest a way to challenge my fast-finishers during an independent work block when they finish [task].” • “Write a 2-sentence explanation of [concept] using simpler vocabulary without dumbing it down.”

The goal last week was [prior goal] and this week we are learning [current goal].”
What Is a Teacher Brand?
Your teacher brand isn’t a label or a personality type.It’s the leadership pattern behind how you think, decide, and show up in your classroom. In this framework, we describe that pattern using two simple lenses: • Core Brand Model — your natural leadership default • Influencing Brand Model — how you adapt in certain situations You don’t need this perfectly defined. Even a working guess helps your assistant start thinking more like you.
Take the Teacher Brand Quiz
What help identifying the starting point of your teacher brand?Take the free Teacher Brand Quiz to get clarity before moving on.
💬 Do I Have to Use the Power Prompt Every Time?
Not always! Once you’ve trained your AI with your branded onboarding script, it already knows your vibe. Use the full Power Prompt Formula (Role + Task + Tone + Format) when you're: • Starting a fresh chat • Making a big request • Needing on-brand magic (i.e. when crafting templates, content, or communication, etc.) Otherwise? Talk to it like it’s your right-hand assistant— because you’ve already trained it.
Recommendations:
• Review and refine before sharing with students or families. • Never input sensitive student information. • Use AI to spark ideas, not replace your judgement. • Stay aligned with your district or school’s guidelines. • Model digital discernment—AI literacy is leadership!
💡 The clearer you get about your leadership voice, the more powerful your assistant becomes.
💡 Tips For Using This Menu
Your routines only work if you see them. Here’s how to turn these prompts into real habits: 🧠 Choose one (or a few!) routines that resonate with you the most. 📆 Copy and paste your favorite routines into your digital calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.) and drop the prompt right into the event description box. 💼 Bookmark this menu or return to it anytime you want to reset, refocus, or plan ahead.
💡 How to Use These Prompts
These prompts are meant to be dropped straight into your ongoing chat — no setup required. Teacher Boss Move Tips:
- Use them as-is or tweak the wording to sound like you.
- Treat each response as a starting point, not a final answer.
- Follow up with clarifiers like:
- “Make this more concise.”
- “Give me 2 more options.”
- “Adjust this to better match my brand.”
💡 The more you respond naturally, the more your assistant mirrors your voice.

What Is a Teacher Brand?
Your teacher brand isn’t a label or a personality type.It’s the leadership pattern behind how you think, decide, and show up in your classroom. In this framework, we describe that pattern using two simple lenses: • Core Brand Model — your natural leadership default • Influencing Brand Model — how you adapt in certain situations You don’t need this perfectly defined. Even a working guess helps your assistant start thinking more like you.
