AI Essentials for Educators

Developed by Mastery Coding, the course covers the underlying mechanics of artificial intelligence systems, including how large language models and generative AI tools process information and produce outputs. Participants examine practical methods for engaging with AI tools, prompt construction techniques, and considerations relating to the responsible use of AI in classroom and administrative contexts.

The programme is structured to accommodate educators without a prior technical background. The course is delivered through Mastery Coding's online learning platform and forms part of a broader catalogue of computer science and technology curricula aimed at primary, secondary, and post-secondary institutions.

Content addresses topics such as the limitations and biases of AI systems, ethical considerations, data privacy issues, and approaches to integrating AI literacy into teaching practice across subject areas. The training is intended for classroom teachers, instructional coaches, curriculum coordinators, and school leaders seeking to develop a working understanding of artificial intelligence technologies.
