AI Teacher Professional Development

Despite being able to dissemination AI strategies with the pre-service teachers at my university, I realised (through a conversation with a former colleague) that in-service teachers may be completely overwhelmed by the giant elephant in the room that is GenAI. As a result, and guided by the AI competency framework for teachers | UNESCO and New framework outlines best practice for AI in higher education - ACSES, I have developed a 2-hour workshop session designed for in-service teachers. These workshops ensure that teachers walk away:

• understanding AI fundamentals and critically evaluate AI tools for educational use,

• exploring ethical considerations including data privacy, human accountability, and academic integrity,

• engaging in hands-on practice with AI tools for lesson planning, differentiation, and assessment design,

• developing strategies for teaching students to use AI responsibly and critically, and

• creating an action plan for implementing AI in their specific teaching context.

These workshops can be adjusted to suit the needs of the school, can be run multiple times a day for smaller groups, and tailored to focus on specific GenAI use such as assessment design.
