About the AI Miracle Factory

The AI Miracle Factory Teacher’s Guidebook is a 400+ page foundational manual written by the project’s creator, a NYC public high school teacher who has spent years experimenting with AI directly inside real classrooms. Rather than presenting AI as an abstract or technical subject, the guidebook treats it as a practical craft—something any educator can learn through clear explanation, relatable stories, and repeatable workflows.

From the first chapter, the book establishes its purpose as a realistic companion for everyday teaching. It takes the biggest, most intimidating ideas about artificial intelligence and translates them into straightforward language, showing teachers exactly how these tools can support lesson planning, differentiation, assessment, and classroom management. Every concept is anchored to authentic examples: short stories from the author’s own students, transcripts of AI conversations, and screenshots that reveal precisely what the prompts looked like and how the outputs were used the next day in class.

A defining element of the guidebook is the WISSAM™ framework, the instructional model that ties the entire Miracle Factory ecosystem together. The book spends substantial time unpacking this cycle—beginning with student data, moving into AI-assisted planning, flowing into delivery and discussion, and ending with reflection and refinement. This framework gives readers a way to make sense of the overwhelming number of AI possibilities, organizing them into a coherent approach that supports both creativity and consistency.

One of the strongest qualities of the guidebook is its attention to special education and equity. Large sections are devoted to the realities of IEP management, inclusion teaching, and multilingual classrooms. The book shows how AI can generate accommodations charts, scaffold complex readings, adapt tasks for learning differences, and simplify the administrative load that often overwhelms special educators. Many teachers find these chapters to be the most distinctive part of the book, as few other resources treat SPED and ELL considerations with such depth.

Ethical guidance is woven throughout. Instead of avoiding the difficult questions surrounding plagiarism, bias, or over-reliance on AI, the book confronts them directly. It outlines strategies for designing AI-resistant assessments, encourages greater use of oral discussion to verify understanding, and offers practical methods for spotting errors in AI output. The tone is balanced—optimistic about the potential of AI, but grounded in the professional responsibilities teachers carry.

The scope of the guidebook is unusually comprehensive. It covers every dimension of a teacher’s workday: generating examples and explanations, creating rubrics and grading them, drafting parent emails, building reflection logs, preparing substitute plans, analyzing assessment data, and even reframing whole units to better match student needs. Its aim is not just to provide ideas, but to become a reliable tool teachers can keep on their desk and open whenever they wonder, “Could AI help me with this?”

What sets the guidebook apart from other AI-in-education titles is its combination of depth, accessibility, and authenticity. Written later than many early AI books, it incorporates updated capabilities such as GPT-4-level reasoning, modern workflows, and the integration of custom tools from the Miracle Factory platform. The narrative voice—experienced, humble, and peer-to-peer—makes the book feel less like a manual and more like a trusted colleague sharing what actually works. Readers often describe the experience as having a mentor beside them, guiding them through unfamiliar territory with clarity and encouragement.

Early readers have reported significant transformations in both workload and confidence. Special educators note dramatic time savings in IEP preparation; ELA teachers describe newfound student engagement due to redesigned assessments; and many report feeling genuinely energized after years of burnout. These early testimonials echo the guidebook’s promise: to return time, agency, and joy to teachers at a moment when the profession needs it most.

The AI Miracle Factory One-Hour Online Course is a fast, self-paced professional development experience that gives teachers a practical introduction to using AI in the classroom. In just over 70 minutes, it condenses the core ideas of the Miracle Factory guidebook into short, engaging video lessons led by a practicing NYC high school teacher. The course focuses on real workflows—how to write effective prompts, turn student data into differentiated instruction, generate lesson and unit plans, create assessments, draft IEP components, and use AI to provide feedback.

Each module is about ten minutes and pairs a clear explanation with a live screencast demonstration, so teachers see exactly how the techniques work in practice. Participants can pause, try the same prompts with their own materials, and continue with immediate results. Downloadable templates, prompt checklists, and ready-to-use scripts help teachers leave with concrete tools rather than theory.

The course is designed for educators who want something quick, accessible, and genuinely useful. It addresses common concerns around privacy, ethics, and academic integrity while showing how to implement AI safely and responsibly. Because it integrates directly with Miracle Factory tools, teachers can move from learning to doing in a single click.

Praised for its clarity and practicality, the course has helped teachers generate real lesson materials during the training itself and gain confidence to bring AI into their practice the very next day. It’s an efficient, affordable entry point for any educator looking to harness AI without the overwhelm of traditional PD.

K–12 Skills Encyclopedia

A simple, teacher-friendly library of every major K–12 skill

The K–12 Skills Encyclopedia is an easy-to-use digital library that helps teachers understand how to explain any academic skill to students. It covers the full range of K–12 learning—from early phonics and basic math facts to higher-level writing, algebra, and science skills. Each entry is written in plain language so teachers can quickly learn what a skill means, how to teach it, and what to watch out for.

Every skill includes a clear, standards-aligned definition rewritten in everyday wording. Right below it, teachers get three versions of the explanation—emergent, intermediate, and advanced—so they can choose the right style for their learners. This makes it easy to explain a skill to a struggling student, an on-level class, or an advanced group, without having to rewrite the explanation from scratch.

The heart of each entry is a mini-teaching guide. It walks teachers through how to teach the skill step by step, including:

• simple guiding questions to ask students

• mnemonics or memory tricks

• short examples with clear annotations (“Here’s why this step matters…”)

• a breakdown of the smaller parts of the skill

• common mistakes students make—and what usually causes them

The explanations are written in a warm, supportive tone, as if another teacher were sharing their best tips during a planning period.

The encyclopedia is also designed to save teachers time. They don’t need to search online for examples or come up with explanations on the spot. Everything—from the definition to the sample problem to the teaching script—is in one place. Special educators and teachers covering new subjects find it especially helpful because it gives them fast, reliable guidance on skills they may not teach every day.

Each entry also includes quick ways to use AI with the skill, such as prompts for generating extra examples or practice questions. This helps teachers bring the skill straight into their lesson planning with the support of Miracle Factory tools.

Because it is searchable and updated regularly, the Skills Encyclopedia works like a teacher’s version of Wikipedia—only instead of facts, it explains how to teach skills clearly, simply, and effectively. It gives teachers the confidence that they are teaching the right ideas, using the right language, and preparing students for the next level with clarity and consistency.

Miracle Factory Virtual Teaching Assistants

A simple suite of AI helpers for everyday teaching

The Miracle Factory Virtual Teaching Assistants are a group of easy-to-use AI tools designed to help teachers with the tasks that take the most time—planning lessons, adjusting texts, identifying skills, writing documentation, and supporting students with different needs. They run on top of GPT, but each one has been specially trained with Miracle Factory’s teaching rules so the answers are clear, accurate, and written in real teacher language.

Instead of giving the AI complicated prompts, teachers simply paste in a text, a problem, a lesson idea, or some student information. The assistants then do the heavy lifting: they simplify or level readings, point out the skills hidden inside a lesson, explain concepts at different difficulty levels, create step-by-step teaching guides, draft aligned lesson plans, or pull together a clean summary of what a student needs. Everything is formatted in a teacher-friendly way, with explanations, examples, common mistakes, and clear next steps.

The suite also includes tools that help with bigger tasks like writing IEP drafts, checking for missing information, or creating quick snapshots for student support meetings. These tasks usually take hours, but the Miracle Factory assistants can produce strong drafts in minutes, leaving teachers more time to review and personalize the content.

What makes the suite powerful is that all the assistants follow the same style and the same set of skill definitions. That means everything they produce—lessons, explanations, scaffolds, assessments—matches across subjects and grades. Teachers don’t have to worry about wrong information or mixed terminology. The assistants stay consistent because they draw from the Skills Encyclopedia and follow clear teaching workflows built by a real classroom teacher.

Overall, the Virtual Teaching Assistants are designed to cut down on busywork, reduce burnout, and help teachers focus on actual teaching. They make complex tasks simple, give teachers a strong starting point for any lesson, and offer expert-level support whenever it’s needed.

The Prompt Library is a collection of clear, ready-to-use AI prompts written specifically for teachers. Instead of trying to come up with the perfect wording every time, teachers can choose a prompt from the library and use it instantly. The prompts are organized by real classroom needs—lesson planning, assessments, feedback, SPED documentation, behavior notes, parent communication, and more. Each prompt also includes a short explanation of when to use it and a sample of what the AI’s answer should look like, so teachers know exactly what to expect.

The library connects directly to the content of the Miracle Factory book and course. For example, if a teacher is reading the chapter on assessment, they can jump straight to prompts designed for creating quizzes, grading with rubrics, or giving writing feedback. Everything is written in simple, teacher-friendly language.

In addition to prompts, the Reference Materials section provides downloadable teaching tools—charts, vocabulary lists, graphic organizers, sentence starters, accommodation lists, and other resources created by teachers. These can be used directly in class or added into AI prompts to improve the output.

Together, the Prompt Library and Reference Materials give teachers a fast, reliable way to use AI without guesswork. They save time, reduce planning stress, and ensure the AI produces clear, classroom-ready results.
