AI training for teaching staff
Hands-on, safeguarding-first training that shows teachers and leaders how to plan, mark, write and report in a fraction of the time. Led by a serving headteacher and co-founder.
Every session is built around your own staff's real workload: your schemes of work, your report cycle, your data-protection policy. Teachers leave with prompts they will use on Monday, not a slide deck they'll forget.
For staff who have never used AI, or tried once and gave up.
For teams ready to build habits that last a whole year.
For schools that want AI which already knows their curriculum.
For leaders who need a plan before the next inspection or accreditation visit.
Move the sliders to match a typical week. The savings use cautious, illustrative rates drawn from classroom practice. They are estimates, not promises.
Fill in a unit and get a week-by-week skeleton plus a ready-to-use prompt that turns it into full lesson plans with Claude. This is the workflow staff build in the Departmental Deep Dives.

Your prompt for Claude
A generic chatbot doesn't know your specification, your marking policy or how your department writes. A custom assistant does. Here's how we build one together.
Specification, schemes of work, mark schemes, house style and example resources. Nothing containing student data.
A short brief that sets the assistant's role, tone, level and the formats your department uses.
Staff try it on next week's lessons, and we refine it until the output needs only light editing.
The department owns it, knows how to update it, and has a one-page guide for new staff.
Example instructions
You are the planning assistant for the Economics department. Students are 14 to 18, mostly EAL learners in Seoul. - Follow the attached 4EC1 specification. - Use British spelling and command words (State, Explain, Analyse, Evaluate). - Every resource includes a support and a stretch version. - Use real-world examples from Korea and Asia where possible. - Never invent statistics. Say when a figure needs checking.
Most disappointing AI results come from one-line prompts. Pick a task to see the prompt teachers usually write, and the version they write after a session.
Fixed fees by session length, with no per-head charges and no platform subscriptions. Every session is tailored to your staff.
New Zealand
In New Zealand throughout January and February 2027, including the days before Term 1 begins.
Korea
Delivered in person across Korea, for whole staff teams or smaller groups.
AI is brilliant at some parts of the job and the wrong tool for others. This is the line we draw in every session.
Quick check: do or don't?
Choose an answer to see why.
The question staff ask most is "can I put this in?". The traffic-light rule gives them an answer in seconds, in line with GDPR, Korea's PIPA and your own policies.
Is your school ready? Tick what's in place
AI in education only works if staff, parents and students can trust it. These are non-negotiable in every session.
AI drafts, the professional decides. Nothing reaches a student or parent without a teacher reading it first.
Anonymise by default. Staff learn exactly what can and cannot go into an AI tool under GDPR, Korea's PIPA and your own policy.
Designed by an experienced Designated Safeguarding Lead, with clear lines on student-facing use and disclosure.
If a workflow doesn't save real time within a fortnight, we drop it. No new platforms for the sake of it.
About your trainer
Founder · Serving headteacher · NPQH
Sixteen years in classrooms and staffrooms across four countries, eleven of them in senior leadership.
I've founded and led British secondary provision in Seoul and built Hanoi's leading A Level sixth form. I know what a Sunday evening of marking feels like, and I know what it takes to get a whole staff to change a habit.
My career has taken me from inner-city Manchester to Kyiv, Hanoi and Seoul, with 60+ countries visited along the way, several of them by motorcycle. That range matters: I train staff who work across very different cultures, curricula and levels of confidence with technology.
The School AI Coach grew out of the workflows I built for my own teams: report cycles cut from weeks to days, differentiated resources in minutes, and leaders with time to lead. I now help other international schools do the same, in English, with Korean-context support available.
Now booking for January and February 2027
Available for schools in Korea and New Zealand, and online for international schools further afield. Tell me your staff size and the week you have in mind.
