Teacher Prompt Library
Reviewed, classroom-ready AI prompt templates
Every template uses the SATHI structure with marked variables, a filled example, its review requirements and its privacy note. Teacher review before classroom use is always required.
The smallest useful check: one recall, one application, one self-report.
Template
Exit ticket for a Class {{CLASS}} {{SUBJECT}} lesson on {{OUTCOME}}: one recall item, one one-step application item, one self-report line ('What is still unclear?'). Fits a quarter page; simple language; no answer key needed — I read these, not mark them.
See the filled example
Exit ticket for a Class 8 Maths lesson on solving linear equations with the variable on one side: one recall item, one one-step application item, one self-report line ('What is still unclear?'). Fits a quarter page; simple language; no answer key needed — I read these, not mark them.
Review: Check the application item is genuinely one step and within today's teaching.
Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.
Known failure modes: Application item creeps to two steps — say 'one-step' twice if needed
