    Start from reviewed content

    Use an approved unit or lesson plan, current source materials, a district presentation template, approved images, and accessibility requirements. Separate source content from optional examples.

    A clear source hierarchy prevents outdated slides from overriding the reviewed plan.

    Build the presentation

    Ask ChatGPT to create a native, editable deck with a coherent lesson flow:

    • opening question or phenomenon
    • concise instruction
    • worked examples
    • checks for understanding
    • practice or discussion prompts
    • exit ticket
    • speaker notes
    • source attribution

    The deck should support instruction rather than turn every detail into slide text.

    Inspect the native deck

    Review the actual presentation, not only an outline. Check readability, pacing, accessibility, image permissions, source accuracy, and whether notes contain the detail the teacher needs.

    Revise the deck in focused passes. Keep it labeled as a draft until an educator confirms that the content and instructional sequence are ready to use.
