Lesson planning across multiple preps—especially when you’re switching between Education Practicum, DE Speech, and AV Production—requires serious flexibility and fast adaptation. As a teacher balancing both CTE and core communication courses, I needed a tool that could keep up.
That’s where Brisk Teaching comes in.
Brisk has become my go-to lesson co-planner. Whether I’m scaffolding a pedagogy lesson or breaking down a digital media unit, Brisk helps me adapt, differentiate, and design—all in one easy-to-use platform.
🎯 What Brisk Does for My Planning Workflow
Here’s how I use Brisk to streamline and supercharge my lesson prep:
📚 Turn Any Content Into a Lesson
Brisk makes it incredibly simple to turn content—like a YouTube video, article, or transcript—into full lesson materials. In just a few clicks, I can generate:
• Editable slide decks that are ready to teach or customize
• Auto-generated quizzes in Google Forms with answer keys
• Depth of Knowledge (DOK) comprehension questions that challenge students at various cognitive levels
🧑🏫 Tailoring for TEKS and Content Areas
In Education & Training
I use Brisk to help my students analyze and apply learning theories like Constructivism and Behaviorism. With a few prompts, I get questions and tasks that directly support TEKS 130.142(c)(3)(C)—which focuses on applying educational psychology to instructional practices.
In AV Production
I upload transcripts from film theory videos or video tutorials, and Brisk instantly generates:
• Summary activities
• Key vocab terms
• Reflection questions
This makes academic content more digestible for visual learners while maintaining rigor.
🧪 Real Lesson Planning Example
Just last week, I built a full lesson around an article on Behaviorism. I dropped the article into Brisk, selected the grade level, and in under five minutes, I had:
• Key vocabulary terms
• 3 DOK-aligned comprehension questions
• A short formative quiz for quick assessment
All I had to do was tweak the instructions, and the lesson was ready to go.
