Anthropic, Teach For All Launch AI Training for Educators

“…teachers are positioned not as passive consumers of AI tools, but as co-architects shaping how AI develops.” “…more than 100,000 teachers and alumni… will have the opportunity to develop AI fluency and adapt Claude to serve real classroom needs.” https://lnkd.in/gJ_huVm4

For #AI to reach its potential to make education more equitable, teachers need to be the ones shaping how it's used and providing input on how it's designed. Excited about this new Teach For All partnership with Anthropic to help educators across our network experiment with and learn from these tools firsthand as co-creators of AI's role in education.

OpenAI is treating AI like we once rolled out Word and Excel—a top-down tool implementation. Anthropic recognizes that AI requires students and teachers to control how it's used. This aligns better with UNESCO's frameworks emphasizing educator and learner agency. The flexible approach may win long-term.

Such a timely milestone as #AI continues to transform education globally! I'm deeply excited that the Teach For All network will be at the forefront of shaping this future—and I couldn't agree more that #AI #education must be shaped by the teachers who are addressing equity gaps and system-entrenched challenges every day to enable millions of our children to access quality education and shape better futures for themselves and all of us. As Wendy Kopp powerfully articulates: "For AI to reach its potential to make education more equitable, teachers need to be the ones shaping how it's used and providing input on how it's designed. Our partnership with #Anthropic is helping educators across our network experiment with and learn from these tools firsthand, as co-creators of AI's role in education." This is exactly the kind of leadership we need—putting teachers at the center as co-architects, not passive consumers.

The AI research company Anthropic is giving a global collective of teachers access to AI workshops, an online community forum and other resources, both to share ideas and to inform the progress of their chatbot Claude. https://bit.ly/4b8Nae5

What's AI's real impact on students? A recent study found that, when meaningfully guided by teachers, students use AI to deepen learning and improve critical thinking, not make it superficial 💡 "The research shows that when teachers lead the design, AI can strengthen critical thinking, increase engagement, and support responsible instruction across classrooms," reports eSchool News about AI tools in the classroom. 📖 Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/eHuQ3PT6 #AIineducation #k12teachers #k12education #teacherlife #edtech #quizli #madewithappli

An insightful read on how the use of AI tools by teachers is altering the way they work and their way of thinking.

From the classroom to the boardroom, problem-solving is a valuable soft skill. But as students increasingly offload their problem-solving tasks to AI, do we need to focus more on developing their "problem-finding" skills? A new literature review from researchers at WestEd and Google suggests that we do. These findings struck me because they validate the sense that in the age of AI, we'll have to do things differently to help students retain the ability to think for themselves. (Whether that's fair, especially when teachers and students already have so much on their shoulders, is another question.) In WestEd's latest blog post, find out more about what the researchers mean by "problem-finding" and its role in the future of learning in the AI era.

“Deep collaboration across educators, researchers, and product developers is critical.” ⬆️⬆️⬆️ This is what the AIMS Collaboratory is all about. Research-based, collaborative R&D. AI tools should strengthen core instructional goals, fit into real classroom workflows, and be developed and refined through research–practice partnerships alongside teachers and districts. #MathEducation #AIinEducation https://lnkd.in/gG28N-BG

“For AI to reach its potential to make education more equitable, teachers need to be the ones shaping how it's used and providing input on how it's designed," says Wendy Kopp, Teach For All founder and an Ashoka Fellow.
