AI in Education: Foundations and Realistic Use Cases

  • Explanation of AI and generative AI in plain English, covering what it can and cannot do in classroom contexts.
  • Common educator use cases: planning, resource creation, differentiation, assessment support, and communication.
  • Setting expectations: understanding AI as a co-pilot rather than a replacement for professional judgment or school policy.

Getting Started with AI Tools in School Settings

  • Selecting appropriate tools: web-based assistants and built-in AI features in common platforms.
  • Basics of safe setup: managing accounts, following school guidance, and knowing what information should not be shared.
  • Quick wins for teachers: summarizing, rewording, generating examples, and improving clarity and tone.

Prompting Skills for Teachers

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

Lesson and Resource Design with AI

  • Drafting lesson outlines aligned 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 checks, and rubric descriptors aligned with standards and task requirements.
  • Drafting feedback comments and conferencing prompts while maintaining teacher 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 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, sensitive topics, and ensuring appropriate prompts and outputs.
  • Academic integrity: 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.
