01 / WHAT YOU’LL EXPLORE
New tools. Thoughtful teaching.
A hands-on course for school teachers and leaders on using artificial intelligence well: designing lessons and materials, assessing with AI and knowing its limits, handling pupils' data, and teaching pupils about AI — framed by the European rules and guidelines that now apply to schools: the EU AI Act, the Commission's 2026 ethical guidelines for educators and the DigCompEdu framework.
What you’ll take home
- A sequence of lessons designed with AI for your own subject and class
- A draft set of AI guidelines for your school, grounded in EU rules
- A self-assessment of your digital competence with SELFIEforTEACHERS (DigCompEdu) and a personal improvement plan
- The ability to judge when a use of AI in school is high-risk under the EU AI Act, and what that implies
TRY AN EXAMPLE
One lesson. Two levels of support.
A sample activity to try before the course: choose a topic you teach and prepare two versions of the same task with AI.
- Define the learning objective and write a short task using a fictional class.
- Ask an AI tool for a version with extra guidance and another with an extension challenge.
- Check the facts, age suitability and whether both versions assess the same objective. Correct the output yourself.
- Keep both worksheets and write a short note explaining your changes. Do not enter identifiable student information.
This is an illustrative exercise. The full programme below sets out the planned learning activities.
Learning objectives
- Use generative AI to plan lessons, differentiate and create teaching materials for your own subject
- Use AI for feedback and assessment while protecting fairness and academic integrity
- Apply the EU AI Act, the GDPR and the Commission's ethical guidelines to real classroom decisions
