AI for Educators: Safe, Responsible, and Instructionally Powerful Use
This comprehensive, 90-minute course equips K-12 teachers with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) like Gemini and ChatGPT safely and effectively.
You will learn the anatomy of AI, master federal and state data privacy laws (FERPA, COPPA) to protect student data, and apply a practical rubric for evaluating new AI tools.
The course focuses on using AI to enhance instructional design, assessment, and differentiation, all while maintaining the essential “humans-in-the-loop” approach that keeps the teacher as the ultimate decision-maker.
Foundations of Prompt Design for Teachers
Are you getting generic, “robotic” outputs when you use AI? It’s time to move beyond the chatbot and start engineered instruction. This intensive, 4-module course transforms how you interact with Artificial Intelligence, moving you from vague requests to classroom-ready artifacts that save time and elevate student thinking.
Prompting for Rigor, Voice, and Text Evidence
The biggest risk with AI isn’t just “cheating” — it’s the “thinning” of student thought. If your AI prompts only yield surface-level summaries, your students aren’t being challenged. This course is a deep dive into Prompt Engineering for Rigor, teaching you how to build “Evidence-First” tasks that protect student voice while demanding high-level analysis.
Differentiation Through Prompt Engineering
The greatest danger in differentiation is accidentally lowering the cognitive demand. This course teaches you how to use AI as a high-precision scaffolding tool, ensuring every student hits the same rigorous target, but with the specific support they need to get there. Move from “simplifying” content to “supporting” the learner.
Feedback and Conferencing Prompts – Facilitation Guide
The goal of feedback isn’t just to justify a grade—it’s to teach the student how to improve. But providing high-quality, actionable feedback to 100+ students is a Herculean task. This course teaches you how to use AI to bridge the gap between grading and coaching, allowing you to provide precise, rubric-aligned feedback and Socratic conferencing scripts in a fraction of the time.
Building Your Prompt Playbook
You’ve learned the techniques; now it’s time to build your engine. A “Prompt Playbook” is more than a list of commands—it is a sophisticated, categorized, and stress-tested curriculum tool. This course teaches you how to architect a professional-grade prompt library that ensures consistency, rigor, and safety across every lesson you teach.
Courses for Students
Digital Citizenship & Academic Integrity in the Age of AI (Self-Paced)
These courses prepare students to use AI responsibly under their school’s technology policies. It explores when AI can be a helpful learning aid, when its use becomes plagiarism or cheating, and how to verify information for accuracy, bias, and credibility. Students will learn how to protect personal data, respect intellectual property, respond to peer pressure to misuse AI, and collaborate in ways that keep creativity and independent thinking at the center of their work.
