Responsible AI Practices is designed to empower K-14 educators as leaders in implementing AI technology safely and ethically. A primary goal is to ensure both teachers and students understand the critical need for responsible AI use that directly addresses issues such as academic integrity and the importance of adhering to legal frameworks like FERPA and COPPA to safeguard student privacy and safety.

Teachers will gain hands-on experience using Language Learning Models (LLMs) and other AI tools to streamline their professional workflows. Specific applications include leveraging AI for research, lesson planning, brainstorming, generating instructional materials, and improving instruction. Crucially, the course prepares teachers to instruct students in the responsible and effective use of generative AI as a learning tool. Learning is delivered through interactive tasks, current readings, and video tutorials.

An immediate benefit is a significant reduction in teacher planning time, ultimately improving instruction quality. Participants will contribute AI-generated resources and best practices to a shared knowledge base, enriching the wider educational community.

This specialized course is part of the AI Flash Course Series.
