AI for teachers: questions and answers

Question 1

How can teachers use AI?

Accepted Answer

Mostly for the preparation that eats the most time: drafts of lesson plans, worksheets, test questions, tasks at different levels, letters to parents and event scripts. AI drafts these in minutes, while the teacher checks them, adapts them to the class and makes the final call. You get the best results when your request states the grade, subject, topic and content standard.

Question 2

What AI tools are there for teachers?

Accepted Answer

Roughly four kinds: chat assistants that handle almost anything (plans, tests, texts, translation), presentation and image generators, quiz and poll platforms, and tools that give feedback on written work. When choosing, check the quality of text in your language, Word or PDF export, the free limits and how the service treats data. OrujovAI is a chat built for Azerbaijani first that also works in Russian and English: it writes plans and tests and produces downloadable Word, PDF, PowerPoint and Excel files.

Question 3

Is there a free AI for teachers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many AI chats have a free plan, usually with a message limit and some features held back. OrujovAI's Free plan needs no card and gives 20 messages every 3 hours, which is usually enough for a day's lesson plan and test drafts. Running code, quizzes from files and creating live classrooms are on paid plans.

Question 4

Is there an AI that writes lesson plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, any good AI chat can draft a lesson plan; the key is giving it a precise brief. Include the grade, subject, topic, content standard, length and ways of working, for example: “Grade 5 maths, adding fractions, 45 minutes, group work and a formative check at the end.” Then adjust the plan to your class and textbook, because AI doesn't know your students or where they are.

Question 5

How do I write a daily lesson plan?

Accepted Answer

Start with the content standard and the learning outcome: what students should be able to do by the end of the lesson. Then plan the stages; in the active-learning lesson used in Azerbaijani schools they are usually motivation and problem setting, research, sharing and discussing information, conclusions, creative application, assessment or reflection, and homework. Give each stage a time, a format (individual, pairs, groups) and resources so the plan really fits into 45 minutes.

Question 6

How do I do annual planning?

Accepted Answer

An annual plan follows the subject curriculum and the textbook for that grade: units and topics are spread across the school year according to the weekly hours. Next to each topic, note its content standards, the number of hours and a rough date, put small summative assessments at the ends of units and keep spare hours for revision. The teacher's guide that comes with the textbook usually includes a sample plan, and AI can quickly turn yours into a table.

Question 7

Is there an AI that prepares lesson materials?

Accepted Answer

Yes: AI can write reading texts, exercises, glossaries, slide outlines and discussion questions. Be explicit about age and level, for example “for grade 4, in simple words, 150 words.” In OrujovAI you can get the finished material straight away as a Word, PDF or PowerPoint file; check the facts against the textbook before printing.

Question 8

How do I make a worksheet for students?

Accepted Answer

A good worksheet serves one learning outcome and moves from easy to hard: two or three recall tasks first, then application, then one question that makes students think. Leave a line for name and date at the top, give each task a short clear instruction and leave enough space to answer. AI can draft one from the topic, grade and number of tasks; ask for the answer key on a separate sheet.

Question 9

How do I create test questions with AI?

Accepted Answer

Brief it precisely: grade, topic, standard, number of questions, format (multiple choice, open, matching) and difficulty, for example “grade 8 chemistry, 10 multiple-choice questions with 4 options each, plausible wrong options and an answer key.” Then solve every question yourself, because AI sometimes writes a question with two correct options or gets the key wrong. It also helps to ask which typical misconception each wrong option is testing.

Question 10

Is there a test generator for teachers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are dedicated test generators and quiz platforms, as well as AI chats that write questions from a topic or a text. Don't hand out a generated test as it is: check that it fits your class's programme, that each question has exactly one correct answer and that the wording is clear. Keeping checked questions in a spreadsheet makes them easy to reuse in later years.

Question 11

Is there an AI that makes quizzes for a class?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Any AI chat can write quiz questions with an answer key that you can move into a quiz platform or print. In OrujovAI, the Plus plan turns an uploaded file or a photo of a page into an interactive quiz, and in a live classroom, which you create on the Pro plan, the /quiz command runs a quiz for everyone with a leaderboard.

Question 12

How do I prepare a small summative assessment (KSQ)?

Accepted Answer

The teacher holds a KSQ when a unit ends, on that unit's content standards; under the Ministry of Science and Education's rules it runs 3 to 6 times per semester in every subject in grades II–XI. Write at least one task per standard, spread the questions over four levels (level 1 easiest, level 4 hardest) and score on a 100-point scale. The conversion to grades is 0–30 points = 2, 31–60 = 3, 61–80 = 4 and 81–100 = 5; agree the dates with the school management.

Question 13

How do I write questions for a big summative assessment (BSQ)?

Accepted Answer

A BSQ is held at the end of the semester on all the standards taught across it, overseen by a commission the school's leadership sets up: in grades IV, IX and XI for every subject, in grades V–VIII and X mainly for the final-exam subjects, and not at all in grades I–III. Start from a planning grid with the standards in rows and the four levels in columns, splitting points roughly 20, 30, 30 and 20 percent so most of the weight sits on the middle levels. Where a BSQ is held, the semester result is 60% BSQ and 40% the average of the KSQ scores.

Question 14

What is diagnostic assessment?

Accepted Answer

It is assessment at the start of the school year or a new unit that shows what students already know and can do. The aim is not a grade but deciding where to start and who needs extra support. It uses short tasks, observation and conversation, and the results feed into your planning.

Question 15

How do I make an assessment rubric?

Accepted Answer

First split the work into the 3–5 criteria it actually tests, for an essay for example: relevance to the topic, structure, language and style, accuracy. Then describe the levels (four, say) for each criterion in terms of what you can observe, not vague words like “good” or “sometimes.” AI drafts such a table quickly, but match the criteria to your learning outcomes and show the rubric to students before they start.

Question 16

Is there an AI that checks written work?

Accepted Answer

AI can comment on written work: grammar and punctuation errors, gaps in structure, drifting off topic, along with suggested fixes. It doesn't always read handwriting correctly, so when you send a photo, first check how it read the text. Attach your rubric and ask for two or three sentences of feedback per criterion, with the student's name removed first.

Question 17

Can AI grade essays?

Accepted Answer

It can help, but it shouldn't be the only judge. AI can propose a provisional rubric-based score, yet it may score the same text differently at different times, it doesn't know what was discussed in class or how the student has progressed, and it sometimes overrates long, fluent text. Use it as a second opinion: grade the essay yourself first, then compare, and if the gap is large, look for the reason in the criteria.

Question 18

How do I prepare an open lesson plan?

Accepted Answer

An open lesson needs a clearer aim, not more content: choose one learning outcome and make every stage serve it. In the script, set the time for each stage, what the teacher and students do, the resources and how you'll assess, plus a backup in case the technology fails. Don't rehearse the lesson with the class beforehand; a staged lesson is obvious, while a real discussion shows your teaching skill much better.

Question 19

How do I choose a topic for a class hour?

Accepted Answer

Good topics usually come from the class's real needs: relationships in the class, online safety, exam stress, choosing a career, managing time. The calendar suggests topics too: 20 January (the Day of National Mourning), 26 February (the day of the Khojaly genocide), Novruz, 9 May (Victory over Fascism Day) and 8 November (Victory Day). Letting students vote on 3–4 options usually raises participation, and AI can suggest questions and games for the chosen topic.

Question 20

Can AI write a script for a school event?

Accepted Answer

Yes, AI quickly drafts the host's lines, short sketches, quiz questions and the running order. Be careful, though: it often attributes poems and quotes to the wrong author or makes them up, so check every poem and historical fact against a book or a reliable source. Fit the script to your real conditions (number of students, time, hall) and try to give every student a role.

Question 21

How do I prepare a talk for a parent meeting?

Accepted Answer

Make a short plan: welcome, overall results for the period, key dates ahead (assessments, exams), what you ask of parents, and questions. At a general meeting never name students in a negative context; keep individual issues for a private conversation. Asking AI for “a warm but specific five-minute talk” and then filling it with facts about your class saves time.

Question 22

How do I write a student reference?

Accepted Answer

A student reference (xasiyyətnamə) usually covers general information, learning and interests, behaviour and relationships, involvement in school life, strengths and areas to develop. Base it only on what you have observed and avoid labels: instead of “lazy,” write “does not hand in homework on time.” AI can help with structure and tone, but don't give it the student's name or personal details; add those yourself afterwards.

Question 23

How do I make an individual development plan for a student?

Accepted Answer

The plan starts with an assessment of the current level: what the student can do and where they struggle. Then set 2–4 specific, measurable goals (for example, “adds two-digit numbers unaided by the end of the semester”) and give each one a method, resources, a responsible person and a review date. Build the plan with the parents, and the school psychologist and other teachers where needed, and revisit it every few weeks.

Question 24

Is there a program for tracking students' results?

Accepted Answer

Official grades live in the school's electronic gradebook; the “Rəqəmsal məktəb” (Digital School) platform launched for Baku schools, for example, includes one. For your own analysis a simple spreadsheet is enough: one row per student, one column per assessment or standard, with conditional formatting to highlight weak results. In such a table you can see at a glance which topic the whole class found hard.

Question 25

Is there a program that analyses mock exam results?

Accepted Answer

Spreadsheet software is enough: work out the percentage of correct answers for each question and you'll see which topics and which wrong options cause trouble. On OrujovAI's Pro plan you can upload a CSV or Excel file and analyse it by asking questions, getting a table, charts and answers while the file itself never leaves your device. Either way, replacing students' names with codes or numbers is safer.

Question 26

Can AI find the topics my class is weak in?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can give an AI chat an anonymised results table and ask which topics are weak, which groups of students make similar mistakes and what to do over the next two weeks. It spots patterns quickly but doesn't know the causes: a low score may come from illness, missed lessons or a badly written question. Check its conclusions against what you've seen yourself, and don't leave decisions about students to AI.

Question 27

Is there a system that sends reports to parents?

Accepted Answer

At school the main channel is the electronic gradebook and diary; in the “Rəqəmsal məktəb” platform parents have their own account where grades appear in real time. AI can quickly draft an individual report or letter, which you then complete with specific facts and send through the channel your school uses. OrujovAI's study rooms send parents a report after every session, but that is for students' own study outside lessons and doesn't replace the school gradebook.

Question 28

Is there an AI that builds a question bank?

Accepted Answer

AI can fill a question bank quickly, but structure is what makes it useful. Store each question's grade, topic, standard, level (1–4), format and correct answer in separate columns, and ask AI to return questions as a table with exactly those columns. Once the bank grows you can assemble KSQ or BSQ versions in minutes, but every question needs checking before it goes in.

Question 29

Can AI prepare tasks for different levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's one of the most useful things it does. Give it one task and ask for three versions: supported (with a worked example and hints), core and stretch, all aimed at the same learning outcome. Hand them out by colour or number rather than labelled “weak” and “strong,” so no one is stigmatised.

Question 30

How do I adapt materials for students with special needs?

Accepted Answer

Common adaptations are simpler text in short sentences, larger print and more spacing, tasks broken into small steps, pictures and diagrams, and extra time. AI helps simplify texts and write step-by-step instructions or alternative tasks, but don't enter the student's diagnosis or personal details; describe only the need. Agree on the adaptations with the school psychologist, the parents and, if possible, a special education specialist.

Question 31

Should teachers be afraid of AI?

Accepted Answer

No, but they should take it seriously. AI speeds up part of the job, especially paperwork and preparing materials, while knowing students, motivating them, managing a class and helping them grow as people is still human work. The real risk is not knowing how to use AI and not seeing how students are using it.

Question 32

Does AI make a teacher's job easier?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially with repetitive work: plan drafts, test versions, letters, tasks at different levels. But the gain shrinks by the time you spend checking, since nothing AI writes should go to class unread. It helps most with tasks you could do yourself but that take a long time, because there you spot mistakes at once.

Question 33

How do I set rules for AI use in class?

Accepted Answer

Find out your school's policy first, then set a clear level for each task: no AI; AI only for ideas and checking; or AI allowed, but its use must be stated. Discuss the rules with students, show examples (“this is getting help, this is copying”) and keep them written up in the classroom. With younger children, use AI only under the teacher's control, on a shared screen.

Question 34

How do I design tasks that are hard to copy from AI?

Accepted Answer

Assess the process, not just the product: collect the plan, the draft and the final version separately, and have part of the work written in class. Tie tasks to local and personal experience (your neighbourhood, an experiment done in class, a text discussed in the lesson) and add a short oral defence. Don't rely on AI detectors: they are often wrong and can lead to an innocent student being accused.

Question 35

Are schools in Azerbaijan using AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the first steps are under way. In September 2026 the Minister of Science and Education said AI-related measures would be expanded in the next school year, and teachers have been given access to some AI tools through the national “Rəqəmsal məktəb” platform. How far AI may be used in class is worth checking with your school's leadership, since rules can differ from school to school.

Question 36

Is there an AI platform for schools in Azerbaijani?

Accepted Answer

Yes: OrujovAI was made in Baku and built for Azerbaijani first, and it handles Russian and English too. A teacher can use it free with a personal account for plans, tests, materials and explaining lessons. For school-level cooperation you can write to business@orujovai.com; with other platforms, test the Azerbaijani quality with a few tasks from your own subject.

Question 37

Is there an analytics system for school management?

Accepted Answer

The “Rəqəmsal məktəb” platform used in Baku schools has a head teacher's account with reports on teaching effectiveness, timetables and assessment results by class and subject. For deeper analysis you can export anonymised data to a spreadsheet to compare classes, subjects and semesters, and ask AI to explain trends and draft questions for a staff meeting. Before uploading student data to any outside system, find out where it is stored and whether your school allows it.

Question 38

Can AI work together with an electronic gradebook?

Accepted Answer

General AI chats don't connect to the electronic gradebook on their own: the teacher enters grades and the official data stays there. The practical route is to copy results into a spreadsheet, replace names with codes, give AI only that anonymised table and then apply its suggestions yourself. Follow your school's rules before passing gradebook data to any third-party service.

Question 39

Can I prepare for the MİQ teacher exam with AI?

Accepted Answer

For general study, yes: AI can explain teaching-methodology ideas (active learning, types of assessment, learning strategies), help you revise topics in your subject and quiz you. It doesn't replace official material, though: the main sources are the subject curriculum, the textbooks, the assessment framework the Institute of Education (ARTİ) publishes for each round and the interview topics on miq.edu.az. OrujovAI has no MİQ-format tests; it only helps you understand and revise topics.

Question 40

How does the MİQ teacher recruitment exam work?

Accepted Answer

MİQ is the teacher recruitment competition run by the Ministry of Science and Education, and under the rules on miq.edu.az it has four stages: checking the online application, a test, choosing vacancies and an interview. The test has questions on the school programme for the candidate's subject and on teaching methodology and learning strategies; at the interview a panel assesses professional competence, psychological readiness and general outlook. Registration, dates and requirements are announced before each round on miq.edu.az and edu.gov.az.

Question 41

How are MİQ scores calculated?

Accepted Answer

Under the rules published on miq.edu.az, the test has 40 subject questions (2 points per correct answer) and 20 methodology questions (1 point each), for 100 points in total. Wrong answers cost points: 0.5 for a subject question and 0.25 for a methodology one. To move on to choosing vacancies you need at least 34 points in the subject, 6 in methodology and 40 overall, but the rules can change, so check the official announcement before you register.

Question 42

How do I prepare for the teacher certification exam?

Accepted Answer

Prepare for both stages. For the test, revise your subject's school programme and textbooks across all grades, modern teaching methods, types of assessment and learning strategies, then work through practice tests against the clock. The interview checks how you present a topic, assess students, organise the teaching process and communicate, so rehearse one or two topics aloud as a short presentation; AI can play a panel member and ask you questions, but take requirements and the schedule only from arti.edu.az and edu.gov.az.

Question 43

What topics are in the certification exam?

Accepted Answer

Under the rules ARTİ publishes, the test's 60 questions cover the school programme for the subject the teacher teaches, teaching methodology (including modern methods and assessment) and learning strategies. Each correct answer is worth 1 point and you need at least 30 to reach the interview, which is scored out of 40 with a pass mark of 20. Teachers are certified free of charge once every five years, and anyone who doesn't pass can try again within a year, with the schedule and any changes announced separately each time.

Question 44

Where can teachers find pedagogy practice tests?

Accepted Answer

Start with the official sources: the Institute of Education's website (arti.edu.az) has an “MİQ və sertifikasiya” section and an assessment framework for each round showing what the test covers, and miq.edu.az has the rules, an FAQ and the interview topics. Ready-made test collections are found on unofficial sites and in books, but their answer keys contain mistakes, so check any doubtful answer against a teacher's methodological guide. You can also write questions on curriculum and methodology topics yourself, or have AI write them, and check the answers against an official source.

Question 45

How can an English teacher use AI?

Accepted Answer

AI can produce reading texts at the right level (A2 or B1, say), dialogues, word lists, grammar exercises and speaking prompts. It also helps with essay feedback and role-play scenarios, and in class it can act as a conversation partner. Read generated texts for natural phrasing and match them to the textbook's vocabulary.

Question 46

How can a maths teacher use AI?

Accepted Answer

To make several versions of the same problem with different numbers, step-by-step solutions, lists of typical mistakes and real-life problem settings. Keep in mind that AI can make arithmetic slips, so check every solution yourself. OrujovAI's Solve works problems in verified steps and draws a graph, which makes checking an answer key easier.

Question 47

How is AI useful for primary school teachers?

Accepted Answer

For short reading texts and stories, word problems built around children's interests, colouring and matching tasks, songs and riddles. Always read the text to make sure it is simple, age-appropriate and correct. Young children aren't advised to use AI on their own, so in class the teacher should run it and show the screen to everyone.

Question 48

Can I use AI in class together with students?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your school's rules allow it and the work is teacher-led. A useful format is checking an AI answer together on a shared screen: students find mistakes, compare it with sources and improve it, which builds critical thinking. With younger classes use the teacher's device rather than students' own accounts, and teach them not to type personal details.

Question 49

How do I build an interactive lesson with AI?

Accepted Answer

Ask AI for a hook to open the lesson (a surprising fact or a problem), role cards for group work, discussion questions, a mini-quiz and reflection prompts, then place them in the stages of your lesson. You can plan slides with AI too, but interactivity comes from how much students talk and do, not from the technology.

Question 50

Can AI help me grade homework faster?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Prepare a precise answer key and a list of typical mistakes with AI first, so that checking means comparing against them. Save your frequent comments (“explain this step,” “you forgot the units”) as short templates and pick the right one for each piece of work. If you send AI photos of student work, make sure names aren't visible, and give the grade yourself.

Question 51

Should a teacher tell students they use AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, being open sets a good example: if you expect honesty from students, you can say what you prepared with AI too. Saying “I drafted this test with AI and then checked every question myself” builds trust and shows good practice. If AI was involved in feedback or grading, mention it especially, since students want to know who decided their grade.

Question 52

How do I check AI-made materials for mistakes?

Accepted Answer

Check facts, dates, formulas and definitions against the textbook, since that is what students learn from and are assessed on. Solve every problem and test question yourself, make sure only one option is correct, and check spelling and terminology (in Azerbaijani, letters such as ə, ğ and ı). For any doubtful fact, ask AI for its source and open it yourself, because AI sometimes cites sources that don't exist.

Question 53

Is it safe for teachers to enter student data into AI?

Accepted Answer

The safest rule is not to enter students' names, addresses, health information or other personal details, and to replace names with codes or initials. In Azerbaijan personal data is protected by the Law on Personal Data, and your school may have its own rules. Read each service's privacy policy; OrujovAI, for example, doesn't sell data or train models on users' conversations, but that doesn't replace the habit of anonymising.

Question 54

Are there AI courses for teachers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Training for teachers runs in Azerbaijan; in June 2026, for example, the “SİMM – Süni İntellektlə Müasir Məktəb” (Modern School with AI) project started for teachers at schools in Baku, Karabakh and Ganja. Internationally, UNESCO has published an AI competency framework for teachers, and platforms such as Coursera and edX offer free courses. Alongside a course, doing one real task with AI each week (a plan, a test, feedback) and reviewing the result is good practice.

Question 55

How do I keep students engaged in an online lesson?

Accepted Answer

Give students something to do every 5–7 minutes: a poll, a one-word answer in the chat, a short quiz, shared writing on the screen or a task in small breakout groups. Call on students by name and, even without requiring cameras, try to hear or read every student at least once a lesson. Move long explanations into a short video or material sent in advance, and keep live time for discussion and practice.

Question 56

Can I create a virtual room for my class?

Accepted Answer

Yes: video lesson platforms, class groups and learning platforms all do this. OrujovAI's Pro plan lets you create a live classroom with group chat, polls and quizzes, a shared whiteboard and graphing calculator and a leaderboard, and any participant can ask the AI a question by typing @AI. Joining is free, so your students don't need a paid plan.

Question 57

Can AI explain a lesson out loud for students?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OrujovAI's Live Tutor turns a topic into a whole lesson of slides and explains it out loud in Azerbaijani, Russian or English, writing and drawing on a board as it goes and asking quick check questions. A teacher can show it in class on a projector or send students a link to a saved lesson. The Free plan has a limited number of lessons, and the example lessons are free for anyone to watch.
