For classroom teachers, heads of department, deputy principals, and principals — practical AI skills that reduce planning time, make report writing manageable, and give you back time to teach.
This course is for teachers who are already great at their job — and want to be less exhausted doing it. The planning, the writing, the parent communications, the report comments: all of these take time away from the actual teaching. This course is about getting that time back.
All exercises use the Australian Curriculum (AC v9) and reference Australian school contexts throughout. State-specific variations (NSW Syllabus, VIC Curriculum, QLD Curriculum) are covered.
Design detailed lesson plans, unit outlines, and assessments that are curriculum-aligned and ready to adapt
Write a term's worth of report comments in a fraction of the usual time
Create differentiated resources — including EAL/D and adjusted program variations
Draft parent newsletters, communications, and school policy documents
Apply student privacy rules and academic integrity principles to AI use
Leave with an assessed capstone pack built for your own classroom or school: teachers take home "Tomorrow's Toolkit" (lesson plan, unit overview, rubric, differentiated resource, report comments); principals take home a School AI Implementation Pack (AI policy, rollout plan, launch communications) — plus a prompt library tailored to your role
All exercises use fictional students. Real student names, diagnoses, and identifiable information never enter Claude.
All examples use the Australian Curriculum and fictional students. State curriculum variations covered.

Schools have specific obligations around student data and academic integrity. We cover both in depth.
Real student names, DOBs, parent details, NAPLAN results, medical or disability diagnoses, or identifiable behavioural incidents must never enter Claude. Use [STUDENT] throughout.
Claude is a tool for teachers creating resources — not for completing student work. Submitting AI-generated content as a student's own is academic misconduct. This distinction is taught explicitly.
All AI-generated teaching resources must be reviewed by the teacher before use. Professional standard 3 (Plan for and implement effective teaching) applies — you remain responsible for what goes in front of students.
Curriculum references should be verified against current state documents. Content varies by state — NSW Syllabus, VIC Curriculum, QLD Curriculum, and SACE all have specific requirements.
Child protection mandatory reporting obligations cannot be delegated to or filtered through AI. If you are considering a report, act under your professional and legal obligation — Claude cannot help you make that decision.
Student information is personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 and state equivalents. School-specific obligations apply to how student data is collected, stored, and used — Claude does not override these.
