Building AI Teacher Assistants helps K-12 educators design AI-supported workflows that free up time for the planning, feedback, and analysis that matter most, while keeping teacher expertise and ethical judgment central to every decision. AI does not change the core work of teaching; it can make that work more efficient and more responsive to students when it remains human-centered. Using the WISE AI Literacy Framework, participants will design AI tools that support lesson planning, differentiation, and material generation, create feedback assistants that generate drafts for teacher revision, and use AI to identify patterns in student work and performance. The course emphasizes structuring repeatable workflows that integrate AI into daily practice while maintaining oversight, accuracy, and instructional alignment. Participants will leave with one functional teacher-facing AI tool or workflow, such as a differentiation assistant that generates three reading levels of the same text for a teacher to review and assign, or a pattern-analysis workflow that helps a teacher spot common misconceptions across a stack of student work.

Learning activities take approximately 20 hours to complete and successful participants earn a certificate of completion for 20 hours toward teacher license renewal (e.g., PDPs in Kansas).

Participants have 60 days to complete each offering upon registration. Please consider this when choosing how many courses to register for at the same time.
