Lesson planning and resourcesPrompting for lesson plans and resources that fit your curriculum and class, adapting for different learners, and checking.
Feedback and markingUsing AI to draft feedback from your criteria, keeping student data out, and why AI is never the sole marker.
Academic integrity: design, acknowledge, investigate fairlyWhat counts as AI misuse, designing tasks that make AI use clear, how students should acknowledge AI, and fair investigation.
Teaching students about AI, safelyTeaching how AI works and its limits, safeguards for student use, age limits, and keeping parents informed.
Admin, parents and your school’s AI policyUsing AI for newsletters, emails and report writing, the privacy line for each, and working within your school’s policy.
