A wide library of AI tools for teachers, free at the individual level.

Verified 14 Jul 2026· sourceOverview
MagicSchool is a collection of task-shaped AI tools for educators rather than a single assistant. Instead of a blank chat box, you pick the job — write a lesson plan, generate a rubric, produce differentiated text for a reading level, draft an IEP-adjacent accommodation, write a parent email, build a quiz — and it fills a form and produces a draft. That framing is the whole reason it works: teachers do not want prompt engineering, they want a rubric by Thursday. It has a student-facing side with teacher-controlled AI rooms, and a district tier with the compliance paperwork schools need. Individual teachers can use a great deal of it free. The trade-offs are real. Output is a serviceable first draft that a good teacher will always edit, and it flattens toward generic phrasing across the board. The tool count is a selling point and also a maze — many overlap, and quality varies between them. And AI-written IEP or accommodation content demands unusually careful human review.
