Getting Started with AI for Teachers and Teaching Assistants in London

Your New Classroom Assistant: How AI Can Help

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping the world of education. For busy teachers and teaching assistants (TAs), AI is not a replacement but a powerful new assistant. It can handle administrative burdens, help create dynamic content, and provide personalised support, allowing you to focus on what you do best: teaching.

AI Superpowers for Teaching Assistants

TAs are the unsung heroes of the classroom. AI tools can amplify their impact by:

• Automating Admin: Quickly track attendance or manage records, freeing up valuable time.
• Differentiating Resources: Instantly generate worksheets or activities tailored to different ability levels.
• Providing On-Demand Support: Use AI to find simple explanations or summaries to help with one-on-one student support.

Slash Your Prep Time with AI Lesson Planning

Teachers spend countless hours on preparation. AI can significantly reduce this workload by helping you draft structured lesson plans aligned with curriculum goals, generate ideas for engaging activities like quizzes and writing prompts, and suggest variations for different learning styles.

Creating an Inclusive Classroom with AI Tools

AI offers powerful solutions for supporting students with diverse needs, including speech-to-text tools for pupils with writing difficulties, real-time translation for those with English as an additional language, and adaptive learning platforms that adjust to each student's pace.

Navigating AI Ethics and Safety in Your School

Using AI in schools requires a thoughtful approach. As educators, it's vital to model responsible use by protecting student data, cross-checking AI-generated content for accuracy, and teaching pupils to think critically about the technology they use.
