An 11th-grade English teacher shares how Claude helped them reclaim time from administrative and paperwork duties, allowing them to return to "actual teaching."

They use it to quickly design tiered lesson plans tailored to different reading levels, visual learners, and advanced students. It also helps organize specific feedback on student essays, turning handwritten notes into actionable advice. The time spent writing emails to parents was reduced from twenty minutes to just a few.

The author emphasizes they didn't use AI to replace grading; final judgments remain entirely their own. For them, Claude isn't just about efficiency—it provides the energy needed at 3 PM to individually help struggling students.
