Start with a question.
Move towards a result.
The difference between a random answer and a useful starting point often comes down to the prompt. In the course, you will practise having a purposeful conversation with AI.
Explore this in the course ↗YOUR FIRST PROMPTExample · no data is sent
“Draft a short, friendly email to my colleagues. I need to agree a date for a team meeting. Suggest three subject lines and keep the tone professional.”
Give AI a role, a situation and the format you need. Then assess the result.
“Draft five revision questions about the water cycle for Year 6. Include basic and more challenging questions. Add an explanation of the answer to each one.”
Leave out students’ personal information. The teacher checks factual accuracy.
“Create an illustration of a modern classroom for a poster. Natural light, blue and purple details, a welcoming atmosphere. No text, with room for a headline.”
Describe the purpose, setting and style. Check the details and rights of use.

More space for your students.
New possibilities for you.
Lesson planning, different learning needs and finding a clear explanation. This AI course for teachers helps you explore where artificial intelligence tools can support your everyday work.
Lesson planning and worksheets
Ask for a lesson outline, practice activities or questions on a topic. A well-crafted prompt can give you a starting point to adapt to the lesson goals, your students’ age and your own professional judgment.
Different levels, a shared goal
Explore alternative explanations, simpler instructions and more challenging questions with AI. Use basic chatbot skills to draft variations of tasks for different learning paces.
Ideas for an active classroom
Develop discussion topics, scenarios and creative activities. AI can offer another perspective when you want to make lessons more engaging and help students explore connections.
School writing and communication
Try drafting school announcements, making a text clearer or writing a work email. Practise with anonymous examples that do not include students’ personal information.
Images that help explain
Turn a description into an illustration. Explore generative AI for visual materials and learn to assess whether the result really matches your prompt.
Digital skills and critical thinking
Working with AI also means checking answers and recognising mistakes. A clearer understanding helps you discuss the possibilities, limitations and responsible use of AI with students.
Your experience gives AI outputs meaning. Learn to prompt, verify and refine. Start with a skill you can keep developing in your subject and beyond the classroom.
Bring AI into my teaching ↗These are examples of how the foundations may be applied. Their use in teaching depends on your subject, the tool you choose and your review of the materials.

What could AI change
in your work?
Illustrative stories — fictional people. The following scenarios illustrate possible applications. They are not genuine graduate testimonials or guaranteed course outcomes.
Jana · primary school teacher
Jana wanted more ideas for students who needed extra practice. After learning to describe a topic and its difficulty more clearly, she began using AI to draft different versions of tasks. She checks their accuracy and chooses what suits her lessons.
The change: from a blank page to a considered starting point.Petr · vocational teacher
Petr wanted more examples to explain complex topics. He used a chatbot to explore analogies and discussion ideas. He also learned to question a convincing answer and check the facts before sharing materials with students.
The change: more ways to explain, with a stronger focus on verification.Lucie · trainer and coordinator
Lucie uses AI for early outlines of learning activities and drafts of work documents. More specific prompts help her request the right tone and a clear structure. She then adapts the drafts to her audience.
The change: more confident prompting and clearer communication.Your field may be different. The foundation is the same: know what you need from AI and be able to assess the answer.
