Know your AI
How AI works and why it's confidently wrong – and the question that runs the whole series: who's doing the thinking?
Professional learning · Whole-school K–12
Teaching Advantage with AI.
Work with AI, not from it. Two professional-learning tracks that turn AI into practised classroom routines – you build for a real class, and keep what you make.
Teachers everywhere already use AI – but often as an answer machine that quietly does the thinking, or as a workload gamble that trades judgement for speed.
Teaching Advantage with AI flips both: staff learn to use AI the way it earns its place in a school – to protect learning where the thinking matters, and to give real time back where the evidence is strongest. Every session ends with build time on one real class or load you carry, so you leave with something you'll actually use.
Built on Creative AI Group's Gradual Release and Age & Stage frameworks, adaptable to your school's own tools – and mapped to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, with hours you can log toward maintenance of accreditation.
Two tracks, one through-line
- The Learning Track – keep the thinking. Six sessions, a ready-to-run AI-Ready Unit.
- The Workload Track – keep the judgement. Five sessions, a Workload Kit you reuse.
- ~1-hour sessions, standalone or as a set, K–12, any starting point.
- ~5–6 hours each toward maintenance of accreditation.
The Learning Track
Teach with AI, not from it – keep the thinking.
Six one-hour PL sessions. One real class. Six things you build, own and keep – a ready-to-run AI-Ready Unit by the end.
Study with AI, not from it
Teach students to learn with the machine – guided tutoring that withholds the answer, built on the six moves.
Validity, not cheating
Redesign a task so it still measures what it claims – secured vs open lanes, plus the red lines for honest use.
Where the work lands
Place AI with gradual release – I do, we do, you do – so the cognitive work stays with the student.
Feedback that teaches
Use AI as a feedback source, not a grader – faster, formative, and always human-owned.
The right tool at the right stage
Differentiate K–12 by developmental and NESA stage – EAL/D, extension, Life Skills, and a non-AI route.
Staff walk away with a ready-to-run AI-Ready Unit, the judgement to place AI where it helps, assessment that stays valid – and ~6 hours toward accreditation.
Learning Track brochureThe Workload Track
Draft with AI, decide for yourself – keep the judgement.
Five one-hour PL sessions. One real load. Five reusable workflows you keep – a Workload Kit, and real time back that holds up to scrutiny.
Draft with AI, decide for yourself
The durable skill isn't prompt recipes – it's task decomposition, context and verification. Safe tools first.
Plan it in half the time
Curate, not adopt – AI drafts, you decide. The evidence-backed win, minus the weak default lesson.
One resource, every learner
Level texts, build parallel tasks, translate – with the human check that keeps rigour and vocabulary intact.
Feedback without the weekend
AI drafts feedback you own and edit – never the sole marker. Structured feedback is the active ingredient.
The words that eat your week
Emails, newsletters, report comments, family translation – where AI rates highest – with a privacy guardrail.
Draft with the machine. Decide for yourself.
Approved tools first – never real student data in a consumer chatbot. We build habits that give real time back and hold up to scrutiny, not "six weeks a year" hype.
Staff walk away with a Workload Kit, real time back on planning, resources, feedback and comms, the judgement to verify – and ~5 hours toward accreditation.

Fit & accreditation
Mapped to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and structured around the Australian Framework for Generative AI in Schools.
Provides ~5–6 hours per track that teachers can log toward maintenance of accreditation / registration – self-recorded with NESA, VIT, QCT and equivalents.
How it works
- ~1-hour PL sessions – run standalone or as the set, spaced across a term.
- Resources provided: facilitator deck, prompt cards / library, and the workbook.
- Build time every session on one real class or load you carry.
- Whole-school K–12, any starting point – no technical experience assumed.
