I think having the support of AI tools within the classroom will massively improve and increase productivity for teachers. Using Gen AI is akin to having a team of teachers alongside you, creating and modifying work, lesson plans, and course content at an accelerated speed.

I found, having predominantly used Co-pilot, that it has made lessons more creative, and provided me with a wider scope of materials for content compared to that which I would normally use. Whittling down the myriad suggestions is time-consuming, but better/more accurate prompting has also improved the suggestions that have been returned.

I used Co-pilot this year to create a rubric for pupils, which we then re-engineered to incorporate more child-friendly language and more accurately reflect the specific tasks pupils needed to achieve to complete the work. Providing children with a voice to decide upon how to showcase their success meant much greater engagement.
