AI in Education: Foundations and Realistic Use Cases

  • A straightforward explanation of AI and generative AI—what it can and cannot do in classroom contexts.
  • Common educator use cases: lesson planning, resource creation, differentiation, assessment support, and communication.
  • Setting realistic expectations: viewing AI as a co-pilot rather than a replacement for professional judgment or school policy.

Getting Started with AI Tools in School Settings

  • Choosing the right tools: web-based assistants and integrated AI features in widely used platforms.
  • Basics of safe setup: managing accounts, adhering to school guidelines, and identifying information that should not be shared.
  • Quick wins for teachers: summarizing content, rephrasing, generating examples, and enhancing clarity and tone.

Prompting Skills for Teachers

  • How to effectively request what you need: specifying role, task, context, constraints, format, and providing examples.
  • Core prompting patterns: brainstorming, drafting, critiquing, refining, comparing options, and creating variations.
  • Practice: building a reusable prompt library tailored to your subject, grade levels, and common tasks.

Lesson and Resource Design with AI

  • Drafting lesson outlines that align with learning intentions, success criteria, and curriculum outcomes.
  • Creating classroom-ready materials: explanations, worked examples, worksheets, slide outlines, and discussion prompts.
  • Differentiation: adjusting reading levels, adding scaffolds, providing extension activities, and suggesting multi-modal options.

Assessment and Feedback Support

  • Generating question banks, formative assessments, and rubric descriptors that align with standards and task requirements.
  • Drafting feedback comments and conferencing prompts while maintaining the teacher's voice and professional responsibility.
  • Practice: creating an assessment support pack for a current unit (including questions, rubric language, and feedback stems).

Quality Assurance: Accuracy, Bias, and Learner Fit

  • Identifying common issues: hallucinations, missing context, uneven depth, and inappropriate reading levels.
  • Simple verification routines: cross-checking facts, requesting sources, and validating information against trusted references.
  • Editing for inclusivity and accessibility: conducting bias checks, using culturally responsive language, and making adjustments for diverse learners.

Responsible Classroom Use and Implementation Planning

  • Privacy and safety: handling student data, addressing sensitive topics, and ensuring appropriate prompts and outputs.
  • Academic integrity: providing guidance on acceptable use, attribution expectations, and student-facing AI literacy activities.
  • Action plan: designing one AI-supported lesson or workflow, defining boundaries and routines, and planning stakeholder communication.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in using computers, web browsers, and standard school tools (such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365).
  • Experience in lesson planning and creating learning resources for primary or high school students.
  • No prior programming experience is required.

Target Audience

  • Primary School teachers across all subjects.
  • High School teachers across all subjects.
  • Curriculum coordinators, learning support staff, and instructional coaches who facilitate classroom instruction.
