Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.





You're not behind. You're just busy.





If you've heard colleagues talk about ChatGPT and thought "I don't have time to learn another thing" — this course was built for you. Not for tech people. For teachers who grade essays at 10 p.m. and write sub plans on Sunday night.





In this course, you'll learn how to use free AI tools to take back hours every single week: faster lesson plans, quizzes with answer keys in minutes, feedback that sounds like you, differentiated materials for every reading level in your room, parent emails that practically write themselves, and sub plans you'll actually finish.





No hype. No jargon. No "AI will replace teachers." Just practical, classroom-tested workflows you can use Monday morning — plus honest guidance on the stuff that matters: protecting student privacy, checking AI's work, and teaching your students to use these tools with integrity.





Every lesson includes prompts you can copy, paste, and adapt. By the end, you'll have a personal AI playbook: a set of routines that quietly give you back your evenings.





You'll also get a printable prompt library and a week-by-week rollout plan so your new routines stick without overwhelm. Bring one class you teach and one stack of papers you dread grading — and leave with systems that work.

Who this course is for:

  • K-12 classroom teachers who want their evenings back; new teachers drowning in planning who need systems that scale; veteran teachers curious about AI but skeptical of the hype; instructional coaches and department leads looking for practical AI workflows to share.
