This course is designed to support teachers in developing a practical and critical understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a particular focus on the use of Microsoft 365 Copilot and related digital tools in primary school contexts.

By exploring how AI supported tools can assist with planning, organisation, differentiation and assessment, teachers will gain a clearer understanding of how these technologies can support everyday classroom practice across curriculum areas. The course emphasises teacher professional judgement and aims to build confidence in reviewing, adapting and evaluating AI generated‑ content rather than relying on automation.

Through guided, classroom relevant activities, teachers will learn how AI can be used to support personalised learning, provide timely feedback and help identify areas where pupils may benefit from additional support. Links are made throughout to the Digital Learning Framework, supporting teachers to plan for effective and sustainable digital practice within their own classroom and school context. Ethical considerations, safeguarding and data protection are addressed throughout, supporting responsible and appropriate use‑ of AI in line with school policy and Department guidance.
