Students already use AI. The question is no longer whether to allow it, but how to teach with it deliberately and safely. This free course turns the leading school AI frameworks into one practical path you can start this term.

It is built for real schools with real constraints: a working group of trusted teachers, a one-page policy, hands-on staff training, a small classroom pilot, and honest review. Along the way it draws on the AILit Framework, TeachAI, the Australian Framework for Generative AI in Schools, the SEE Framework, and more, so you are standing on the best available guidance rather than starting from scratch.

The curriculum

Eight short modules. Each one has practical steps, a tool or template you can use, and the research behind it. Your progress saves on this device as you go.

01Foundations and Strategic VisionName the two failed reflexes, the ban and the open door, and why each one leaves students unprotected.✓02Building AI Literacy for Staff and StudentsExplain, in one sentence, what a language model actually computes.✓03Teaching and Learning with AIUse AI to plan and differentiate without losing professional judgement.✓04Academic Integrity and AssessmentExplain why AI detectors cannot be the main line of defence.✓05Data Privacy, Safety and SecurityApply the bright-line rule: no student personal data goes into a public AI tool.✓06Equity, Access and InclusionSee how unmanaged AI access widens the gap a school exists to close.✓07Phased Rollout and Change ManagementRun the six-stage rollout in the right order.✓08Governance, Measurement and ReviewRun AI adoption as an iterative improvement cycle, not a one-off launch.✓

What you will be able to do

  • Write a one-page AI position your whole community can read and act on.
  • Train your staff to use AI on real tasks, and to supervise students with confidence.
  • Redesign assessment so integrity is protected by task design, not surveillance.
  • Hold a bright line on student data privacy that you can defend.
  • Provide equitable access so capability does not track family income.
  • Run a phased rollout and review it as an iterative cycle.

Built on the best available guidance

This course synthesises the leading school and family AI frameworks into one practical path. Every module cites its sources, and the full library sits on the Frameworks resources page.
