AI in Education: Foundations and Practical Applications

  • A plain-English explanation of AI and generative AI, clarifying what it can and cannot achieve in classroom settings.
  • Common applications for educators: planning, resource creation, differentiation, assessment support, and communication.
  • Defining expectations: AI as a co-pilot rather than a substitute for professional judgment or school policy.

Getting Started with AI Tools in Schools

  • Choosing appropriate tools: web-based assistants and AI features integrated into common platforms.
  • Fundamental setup for safety: accounts, school guidelines, and identifying information that should not be shared.
  • Immediate benefits for teachers: summarizing, rephrasing, generating examples, and refining clarity and tone.

Prompting Skills for Teachers

  • Effective instruction: defining role, task, context, constraints, format, and examples.
  • Core prompting patterns: brainstorming, drafting, critiquing, refining, comparing options, and creating variations.
  • Practical exercise: building a reusable prompt library for your subject, year levels, and common tasks.

Designing Lessons and Resources with AI

  • Drafting lesson outlines aligned with learning intentions, success criteria, and curriculum standards.
  • Developing classroom-ready materials: explanations, worked examples, worksheets, slide outlines, and discussion prompts.
  • Differentiation strategies: adjusting reading levels, adding scaffolds, providing extensions, and suggesting multi-modal options.

Supporting Assessment and Feedback

  • Creating question banks, formative checks, and rubric descriptors aligned with standards and task requirements.
  • Drafting feedback comments and conferencing prompts while maintaining teacher voice and professional responsibility.
  • Practical exercise: developing an assessment support pack for a current unit, including questions, rubric language, and feedback stems.

Quality Assurance: Accuracy, Bias, and Learner Suitability

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

Responsible Classroom Use and Implementation Strategy

  • Privacy and safety: managing student data, handling sensitive topics, and ensuring appropriate prompts and outputs.
  • Academic integrity: guiding acceptable use, setting attribution expectations, and implementing student-focused AI literacy activities.
  • Action plan: designing one AI-supported lesson or workflow, defining boundaries and routines, and planning communication with stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Proficiency in using a computer, web browser, and standard school tools such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
  • Experience in planning lessons and creating learning resources for primary or high school students.
  • No programming background is necessary.

Audience

  • Primary School teachers across all subject areas.
  • High School teachers across all subject areas.
