I was doing a flight with my private student and was in the traffic pattern for Runway XXL at ZZZ; on the third lap in the pattern I saw something in my peripheral vision. My student couldn't see it due to the altitude the engine cowling was blocking his vision; there was a drone that was at approximately 1;100 ft. I quickly pulled the yoke back to gain altitude to avoid the drone that was right in front of us. I reported it to the ZZZ Tower and they asked me questions about what happened; the drone activity was not a part of the ZZZ ATIS; and the Controllers did not see it. When I landed the plane I had to call the ZZZ Tower and give them a little more details and filed a safety report with my flight school.
Flight Instructor reported a near miss with a UAS while in the traffic pattern and took evasive action.
