Programme 1
Teachers are being asked to teach AI, judge AI-written homework and keep student data safe, often with little training. This programme gives practical help with all three, using their own subject and textbooks.
Two tracks
Track A
For teachers of Maths, Science, EVS, languages and Social Science who now carry the CBSE computational thinking and AI curriculum inside their subjects. Teachers plan unplugged activities and age-appropriate demonstrations. Students under 13 never use AI tools themselves.
Track B
For secondary and senior secondary subject teachers. Teachers plan five-step lessons and go deeper on internal assessment, projects and work that looks AI-written.
A school can run both tracks on the same day in two rooms, or one after the other.
At your school
Teachers bring one textbook chapter and one homework task they already set. Each session ends with something they can use the next school day.
Teachers watch AI get a question from their own subject wrong, practise the five steps as learners, and agree what must never be typed into an AI tool: names, marks, photos or any personal detail.
Track A teachers plan a computational thinking and AI activity for their subject. Track B teachers plan a five-step lesson. Everyone redesigns one homework task and agrees a fair response to work that looks AI-written.
Teachers review the student sessions they sat in on, set up a class AI rules routine and a weekly five-step slot, and name the school's AI lead teacher.
The Starter format is one 3-hour session drawn from T1 and T2.
Full programme
One week starts the habit. Regular practice makes it stick. In the Full programme, teachers meet online every two weeks, try each activity themselves, and come back with what happened in class.
Question banks checked against the textbook.
A ready five-step lesson plan.
A Track A activity or a Track B assessment task.
A fair way to talk to the student.
Notices drafted with no student data.
The AI lead teacher takes over.
Between labs, each teacher runs at least one five-step lesson and notes how it went on a one-page log.

Teacher questions
How AI fails in your subject, what must never go into it, and how to set homework that students can't hand over to a chatbot.
T2 and the labs are built to save time on worksheets and notices. A five-step lesson replaces an existing period, and it adds nothing to marking.
Yes. Examples come from your board's textbook, and you plan your own lesson during the session.
Each teacher receives an attendance letter for the school's CPD records. It is not a board certificate.
