STRATIFIED
LEARNING
Building Educator Impact, Layer by Layer.
A 10-hour professional development course that introduces classroom teachers to the teaching and administrative potential of GenAI in their world of work. The learning integrates Critical
Realist philosophy with Stronger Smarter Institute values, and is designed to transform teaching practice through high expectation relationships and Indigenous knowledges.
This course explores how Generative AI can be a powerful partner in your primary classroom, helping you build genuine relationships and foster high expectations for every student, every day. We're moving beyond AI as just a fancy gadget; we're seeing it as a tool to help us do WITH our students, not TO them, really living the
Stronger Smarter philosophy.
We’ll explore AI as both promise and problem: a tool that can lighten your load, spark creativity, and even help affirm student dignity—but also a system shaped by forces far beyond your
classroom. And here’s the encouraging news: you don’t need to become a computer scientist to make this work. You just need to bring what you already do brilliantly—teaching, relating,
reflecting—and apply it in this new terrain.

Module 1: Building Stronger, Smarter Foundations - AI as a partnership tool in primary classrooms
AI is not magic, and it’s not doom. It’s more like a new prac student: sometimes clumsy, sometimes brilliant, always in need of guidance. The question is how we as teachers choose to guide it. This first module is your safe space to experiment, laugh at the quirks, laugh at yourself and glimpse the potential. Hopefully you will start to realize that the real magic is not in the algorithm itself, it’s in you, your students, and the relationships you nurture every day.
Module 2: Crafting Culturally Responsive Resources: AI for Strong and Smart Learning
AI isn’t here to replace community voices—and it shouldn’t. What it can do is act as a creative partner, helping you build resources that affirm identity and celebrate culture. The real transformation happens when those AI sparks are blended with your expertise, your relationships, and your students’ lived experiences. Here’s the key: the quality of those sparks depends on the clarity of your prompts. When you’re intentional, specific, and detailed, the AI’s output doesn’t just meet your goals—it reflects your creativity. Think of prompting as a craft: the sharper your precision, the more your professional judgment shapes the final product. Master this skill, and you won’t just refine your expertise—you’ll also strengthen the connections you make with students, because the materials will carry your intent, not the machine’s defaults.
