Course Outline

AI in Education: Foundations and Realistic Use Cases

  • AI and generative AI explained in plain English - what it can and cannot do in classroom contexts.
  • Common educator use cases: planning, resource creation, differentiation, assessment support, and communication.
  • Setting expectations: AI as a co-pilot, not a replacement for professional judgement 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.
  • Safe setup basics: accounts, school guidance, and what information must not be shared.
  • Quick wins for teachers: summarising, rewording, generating examples, and improving clarity and tone.

Prompting Skills for Teachers

  • How to ask for what you want: role, task, context, constraints, format, and examples.
  • Core prompt patterns: brainstorm, draft, critique, refine, compare options, and create variations.
  • Practice: build a reusable prompt bank for your subject, year levels, and common tasks.

Lesson and Resource Design with AI

  • Drafting lesson outlines aligned to learning intentions, success criteria, and curriculum outcomes.
  • Creating classroom-ready materials: explanations, worked examples, worksheets, slide outlines, and discussion prompts.
  • Differentiation: adjust reading level, add scaffolds, provide extension, and suggest multi-modal options.

Assessment and Feedback Support

  • Generating question banks, formative checks, and rubric descriptors aligned to standards and task requirements.
  • Drafting feedback comments and conferencing prompts while keeping teacher voice and professional responsibility.
  • Practice: create an assessment support pack for a current unit (questions, rubric language, and feedback stems).

Quality Assurance: Accuracy, Bias, and Learner Fit

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

Responsible Classroom Use and Implementation Planning

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

Requirements

  • Comfort using a computer, web browser, and common school tools (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365).
  • Experience planning lessons and creating learning resources for primary or high school learners.
  • No programming experience required.

Audience

  • Primary School teachers across any subject area.
  • High School teachers across any subject area.
  • Curriculum leads, learning support staff, and instructional coaches supporting classroom delivery.
