Lesson Design in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Lesson Design in the Era of Artificial Intelligence is a forward-thinking and practical guide for educators navigating the integration of generative AI into classroom instruction. Written by an experienced educator, the book addresses the growing prevalence of AI tools like ChatGPT in K-12 and higher education, and offers a structured, theory-informed framework for designing ethical, engaging, and effective AI-enhanced learning experiences. Organized into four major parts - Foundations and Context, Pedagogical Approaches, Subject-Specific Implementation, and Implementation and Leadership, the book explores the evolving role of the educator, profiles today's "Gen AI Nomad Student," and provides actionable strategies for prompt engineering, assessment, personalization, and instructional equity. Rich with sample lesson plans, implementation rubrics, ethical guidelines, and use-case scenarios, the text is both a practical toolkit and a pedagogical call to action. The textbook also transparently incorporates generative AI in its own development, modeling how educators might responsibly and creatively co-author content with AI. Accompanied by appendices of curated tools and templates, Lesson Design in the Era of AI equips teachers, curriculum designers, and school leaders with the clarity, confidence, and resources needed to embrace AI not as a threat to traditional teaching, but as a catalyst for transformative learning.
