  • How to design AI-supported activities that keep students doing the cognitive work

  • How to apply Bandura's self-efficacy principles to build student confidence with AI

  • How to audit AI tools for equity bias across four categories

  • How to write a classroom AI policy for K-12, higher education, or corporate training

  • How to measure whether your AI instruction is actually producing learning outcomes

This course includes 14 downloadable resources, including templates, checklists, guides, and certificates, that you can use immediately in your classroom or training environment.

Every lesson is grounded in peer-reviewed research. No opinions. No trends. Just evidence-based strategies you can apply the same day you learn them.

Whether you teach kindergarten or corporate training, this course meets you where you are and gives you exactly what you need to teach smarter with AI."

  • K-12 and higher education teachers who want to integrate AI tools into their classroom without sacrificing instructional quality or academic integrity.
