Starter guides
Start here.
Four short guides.
The basics of using AI safely and usefully as a UK teacher. Read the first one first; the rest can go in any order.
-
01
The one rule before AI touches your schoolwork.
What pupil data an AI tool may see, and what the DfE guidance means for a classroom teacher.
-
02
Lesson planning with AI: first drafts only.
A prompt to try, a template worth saving and the four checks to make before anything reaches your class.
-
03
Whole-class feedback with AI.
Where AI helps with marking, where it doesn’t, and a four-step workflow for your next set of books.
-
04
Report writing without sharing pupil data.
Draft report comments from your own bullet notes, with pupil names never going into the tool.
