In this asynchronous course, you'll build the conceptual foundation, practical skills, and professional habits needed to work with AI as a true partner in your teaching practice. Across this course, you'll move from understanding how AI systems actually work to developing fluency across an AI-use framework: a structured approach to six core AI capabilities applied directly to K-12 practice.

“I love the outside-the-box ideas for how to use AI as a teacher and personally.” — Teacher, Colorado
This course builds a practical foundation in Design Thinking for educators, with artificial intelligence (AI) serving as a thought partner throughout every stage. Educators explore the mindsets behind Design Thinking and the six-stage Ed3 design cycle, then apply the full cycle in a focused design sprint centered on a real challenge from their own classroom or school.

"I found this course to be engaging, and the connection between design thinking and AI tools was practical and applicable to classroom and instructional planning." — Teacher, South Carolina
This course builds educators' capacity to teach media literacy and critical thinking in a media environment increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence (AI). Educators examine how AI-generated content complicates the line between authentic and fabricated media, practice evaluating source reliability and bias, and develop repeatable verification habits they can bring into their own classrooms.

"This course really needs to be required professional development for all educators in my opinion." — Teacher, Illinois
This course helps educators partner with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to ground their practice in a strengths-based understanding of neurodivergent and physiodivergent learners. Educators move from a deficit-based perspective to a competency-based approach and apply that lens across goal setting, executive functioning, academic access, communication, and social-emotional reflection.

"Best class I've taken in years! TY" — Teacher, Maryland
This course builds a practical foundation for weaving Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into daily classroom life, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a thoughtful support partner. Grounded in the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) competency framework, educators explore why SEL matters, how emotional intelligence drives meaningful competency development, and what it looks like to implement SEL schoolwide.

"Now that SEL is such an important piece of the overall student and teacher experience, I appreciated how the activities and videos in this course deepened my own understanding of it." — Teacher, Michigan
This course establishes a restorative, relationship-centered foundation for classroom management and shows how AI can thoughtfully support it. Educators learn how to design supportive learning environments, strengthen learner-teacher trust, and use AI to model logical consequences and reflective practices that build safety, belonging, and empathy.
