Planning assistants promise time saved; the reality depends on alignment to local curricula and the quality of prompts. If you trial tools like LearningGarden with staff, set guardrails: insist on transparent sources, check for Scottish qualifications alignment, and bake in impact evaluation (time saved vs. time spent editing).
- Start small: pick one scheme of work and compare AI‑assisted vs. manual planning outputs for clarity, correctness and inclusion.
- Protect teacher judgement: AI drafts are a starting point, never a final answer.
