How Teachers Are Using AI to Save 10+ Hours per Week
A 2025 RAND survey found that teachers spend an average of 7 hours per week on administrative tasks that AI can handle — lesson planning, rubric creation, parent emails, differentiated worksheets, and assessment design. Teachers who adopted AI prompts reported reclaiming 10+ hours weekly, which they redirected to actual teaching and student interaction. These prompts are designed by educators, for educators.
