AI for Teachers and Education

Teachers are handed planning periods that vanish and evenings that fill with everything except living. This course is about taking some of that time back — with AI doing the drafting while you keep the judgment, and with student privacy protected by design from the first lesson.

The fundamentals come first, in classroom terms: the one line of context that changes a reply, why AI confidently makes things up (and why that matters more in education than almost anywhere), the four-part prompt, and loading background — grade level, standards, your students' reality — before asking for anything. You learn to steer a draft rather than start over, because the second version is where the good material shows up.

Then the course goes straight at the workload. Lesson plans drafted to your framework instead of a generic template. One worksheet differentiated into three levels in minutes — the promise every planning tool makes and this workflow actually keeps. Rubrics, student feedback, and parent messages that sound like you: warm, specific, and professional, even on the fourteenth one of the night.

Privacy has hard rules, not vibes: what never goes into a prompt, how to work with anonymized patterns instead of names, and how to use these tools inside your school's policies. The finale assembles a weekly prep routine — Sunday planning compressed to an hour — plus the honest list of what stays fully human: grades, judgment calls, and knowing your kids. Lesson one is free.
