Explains models, tokens, training data, and why AI “sounds confident but can be wrong.” No math, no coding.
Introduces structured prompting: role, task, constraints, output format, and verification steps.
Teaches how to check AI outputs efficiently without doubling the workload.
Keep track of your AI usage to ensure responsible and ethical use in your classroom.
Case study reflecting on a student's use of AI.
Review the information covered in this module and write a reflection
Discover how to reclaim your time from repetitive tasks.
Create flexible curriculum frameworks weeks in advance.
Using AI to generate lesson outlines, objectives, scaffolds, and differentiation options.
Learn how to create rubrics that capture student performance and provide actionable feedback.
Learn how to create email templates, configure CSV files with user data using FERPA compliance, and run Google Scripts to develop an automated mail merge process
Create exit tickets to gain greater insight into student understanding, detect misconceptions early, surface unanswered questions, and adjust instruction quickly.
Creating a workflow that saves time, documenting it ensures you can repeat that success—and share it with colleagues who could benefit from the same efficiency gains. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are the bridge between one-time experiments and sustainable practices.
Once you've built your own prompt library, the AI Classroom Operating System gives you 12 pre-validated, categorized prompts across Planning, Differentiation, Assessment, and Communication, ready to use without building from scratch. Link in course resources.
In this section, you’ll learn how to objectively analyze where your time actually goes—not where you think it goes. Using a simple 7-day time audit, you’ll identify high-impact work versus repetitive administrative tasks and uncover the most significant opportunities for batching and automation. This section lays the foundation for every efficiency gain that follows.
Outcome:
Identify time drains, high-impact activities, and clear automation candidates using real data.
This section introduces the Six-Segment Friday Reset, a structured end-of-week routine designed to replace chaos with clarity. You’ll learn how to reset your inbox, clone next week’s plans, prepare communications, and reflect—without working late or taking work home. The focus is consistency, not perfection.
Outcome:
End each week prepared, organized, and mentally clear with a repeatable 90–120-minute reset system.
Batch planning reduces decision fatigue and eliminates redundant work. In this section, you’ll learn how to plan multiple lessons or tasks at once using a simple template that keeps structure consistent while allowing flexibility. You’ll also begin documenting reusable AI prompts as part of your planning workflow.
Outcome:
Create structured, reusable plans that save time while preserving instructional quality and autonomy.
This section focuses on creating a Parent Communications Library—a centralized collection of reusable, professional, and supportive message templates. You’ll learn how to organize communication by purpose, prepare templates for ethical automation, and reduce reactive email writing while maintaining trust and transparency with families and stakeholders.
Outcome:
Create a reusable parent communications system that saves time and improves consistency and relationships.
Automation isn’t “set it and forget it.” This section teaches you how to keep your systems reliable and effective through a lightweight monthly maintenance routine. You’ll learn how to test automations, update templates, back up SOPs, and measure whether your systems are actually saving time.
Outcome:
Sustain long-term efficiency with simple, monthly automation tune-ups.
Organize your AI tools.
Combine your knowledge and experience with the new AI tools to craft your final project.
This course involves the use of artificial intelligence.
The Everyday AI Educator gives you the hands-on skills to use AI responsibly in your classroom, grounded in the equity principles from Critical Pedagogy in the 21st Century and structured around the AI Classroom Operating System
Everyday AI Educator is a practical, no-code course designed to help educators use AI responsibly to reduce workload, improve clarity, and reclaim time, without sacrificing professional judgment, ethics, or student trust.
AI tools are increasingly present in education, but many teachers are left with uncertainty: what’s safe to use, what actually saves time, and how to avoid bias, inaccuracies, or privacy risks. This course cuts through the noise by focusing on real, everyday educator workflows, not hype or advanced technical concepts.
You’ll learn how to use AI as a support tool, not a replacement for your expertise. The course introduces a structured prompting approach that helps you get clearer, more accurate outputs while maintaining control over tone, audience, and purpose. From there, you’ll build repeatable systems, not one-off tricks, that can be reused week after week.
Throughout the course, you’ll work with examples drawn from authentic educational tasks such as lesson planning, feedback generation, communication with families, and instructional organization. You’ll also learn how to document your workflows using professional SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) practices so your systems remain consistent, transparent, and easy to refine over time.
Ethical and responsible use is embedded throughout. You’ll learn how to review AI outputs for accuracy, bias, and appropriateness, avoid sharing student-identifiable information, and align AI use with professional and institutional expectations. The goal is not faster work at any cost, but sustainable efficiency that respects equity and accountability.
This course is designed for K–12 educators, instructional coaches, administrators, and education professionals who want practical guidance they can apply immediately. No coding experience or advanced technical background is required.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a clear framework, documented workflows, and the confidence to use AI thoughtfully as part of your everyday professional practice, saving time while staying grounded in what matters most.
