Built for every teacher, not just tech enthusiasts

This guide is written for teachers across all phases โ€” primary, secondary, and SEND โ€” who are curious about AI but aren't sure where to start. No phase is an afterthought. The examples inside reflect real classroom situations from both primary and secondary settings, and the SEND content treats it as a core part of teaching โ€” not an add-on.

Common questions

Do I need any technical knowledge to use this guide?
Not at all. The guide is written from scratch for teachers who have never used AI before. If you can type a Google search, you can follow along.
Is AI free to use?
The guide focuses on AI tools with a free tier that is more than enough to get started with. There's no extra cost beyond the guide itself โ€” you can follow along and start saving time straight away.
Is this suitable for primary and secondary teachers?
Yes โ€” the guide is designed to work across all phases. Examples are drawn from both primary and secondary settings, and there's a dedicated section for SEND educators too.
How do I buy the guide?
Individual copies are available to purchase and download instantly from TES Resources. For school or MAT licences, contact us directly for a quote and invoice.
Does it cover data safety and GDPR?
Yes. Section 9 covers exactly what information should never be shared with AI tools, how to keep pupil data safe, and how to use Claude in a way that is compliant and ethical for a school setting.
Can I use this for CPD with my staff?
A school licence permits use across all staff in your school. Many school leaders have already used the guide to run a twilight CPD session โ€” it's structured in a way that works well for group learning.
