In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Teachers
Weekly Workload Triage for a Teacher With Too Much To Do
Prompt
Everything on my list this week (marking, planning, emails, meetings, reports, duties), with deadlines where known: {{TASK_LIST}}
My timetable, including free periods and fixed commitments: {{TIMETABLE}}
Hours I'm willing to work outside school hours this week: {{EXTRA_HOURS}}
What matters most to me and my school right now: {{PRIORITIES}}
Please:
1. Sort every task into: must do this week (with a deadline or a direct impact on students), can be done in a lighter way, can be delegated or shared, and can be dropped or postponed. Give a one-line reason for each.
2. For tasks in the "lighter way" pile, suggest the lighter version, such as whole-class feedback instead of written comments on every book, or a shared resource instead of a new one.
3. Estimate the time for each remaining task and fit it into my free periods and extra hours. Show me where it doesn't fit.
4. If it still doesn't fit, draft a short, professional message to my line manager explaining what will slip and proposing new dates.
Constraints: stay inside my extra hours. Never cut anything affecting safeguarding, statutory deadlines or student safety.
Output: a sorted task table, then a day-by-day plan for the week and the optional message.
