Section 1
The big idea
Sub plans at 5am with a fever are brutal. AI can take your unit, your class roster details, and a few notes — and produce a sub-friendly plan with clear timing, materials, and 'what if' notes.
Some examples
- Paste your unit; get a full 50-minute sub plan.
- Generate a 'do now' that doesn't need teacher input.
- Have AI create a behavior protocol summary.
- Add backup activities if students finish early.
Try it!
Build one 'emergency sub plan' template now while healthy. Save it for the day you need it.

Section 5
The big idea
Sub plans are the worst part of being sick. AI can take your unit calendar and produce a sub-friendly version of any day's lesson — explicit, doable by a non-content-expert, with classroom management notes built in.
Some examples
- Ask ChatGPT to convert tomorrow's lesson into a sub-friendly version a stranger could teach.
- Ask Claude for an emergency sub day with no prep using 3 universal activities.
- Ask Gemini for classroom management notes specific to your toughest period.
- Ask Perplexity for the standing 'when sub day happens, here's what to expect' letter to parents.
Try it!
Block 30 minutes this week. Ask AI to build your emergency sub day and stash it in your sub folder.
