AI for Teachers: Get Your Weekends Back!
20-Hour Professional Learning Course
Fully Online | Self-Paced | Aligns to all Australian States and Territories
Teach boldly in the age of AI
Anyone can write a course on "Teaching with AI" - what makes ours any different? This course is grounded in the philosophy of Critical Realism, which is able to balance both the promise and dangers of this brave new world emerging in education.
Generative AI isn’t the end of teaching — it’s the beginning of a smarter, more human profession.
This course helps you use AI to enhance your planning, feedback, and reflection — not replace them. You’ll build practical AI tools for the classroom, explore real ethical questions, and discover how AI can help you reclaim time, creativity, and professional agency.
Designed for educators who want to lead (not just adapt), this course takes you beyond theory into daily practice — helping you automate what can be automated, so you can focus on what matters most: teaching and connection.
What You’ll Learn
The course is divided into six modules combining reflection, hands-on experimentation, and practical classroom integration.
Modules include:
-
Understanding AI Without the Jargon — Learn what generative AI can and cannot do and how to guide it effectively. Demystify how AI predicts, hallucinates, and learns.
-
Prompting with Purpose — Build a library of classroom-ready prompts that produce high-quality, ethical, and context-sensitive results.
-
Building my AI teaching partner — Create a digital colleague that mirrors your tone, values and professional judgement.
-
Building the AI Feedback Generator — Automate repetitive tasks without losing human warmth or ethical control.
-
Ethical Scenarios & Safeguards in Action — Apply ethical safeguards for privacy, transparency, and bias management that align with Australian education standards.
-
The Human at the Helm — Reclaim your professional dignity and learn how AI can amplify your voice, not automate it, and help you model agency, fairness and moral reasoning for students.
