How to use AI to create differentiated learning materials [46]

Meeting every student at their level is the core challenge of teaching. AI makes differentiation fast.

Three-level differentiation workflow:

  1. Create your core lesson content
  2. Prompt AI: ‘Adapt this lesson material for three reading levels — below grade (5th grade reading level), on grade (8th grade), and advanced (11th grade). Maintain the same core concepts but adjust vocabulary, sentence complexity, and depth of explanation.’
  3. Assign the appropriate version to each student

Time comparison: Manual differentiation: 2-3 hours per lesson. AI-assisted: 15-20 minutes.

Subject areas where this works well: Reading comprehension passages, science explanations, social studies content, math word problems.
