Teaching Students to think WITH AI (Not Just Use It)
Equip teachers to help students develop the literacies, critical evaluation skills, and productive human-AI collaboration strategies — so students use AI to stretch their thinking rather than shortcut it.
What you'll walk away with
Design student-facing AI learning experiences that develop critical evaluation, not just tool proficiency
Teach prompt engineering as a critical thinking practice — specificity, context-setting, and output evaluation
Implement the 'create-then-AI-audit' model to build student metacognition about human vs. machine thinking
Develop age-appropriate AI literacy curricula that address accuracy, bias, privacy, and ethical use
How a Learning Series works
Work through the snacks — short, evidence-based lessons that build your understanding. Each one gives you research, a classroom connection, and one thing to try or discuss.
Test your understanding in a low-stakes mini-experiment before you bring it to your classroom. Leverage our downloadable materials to support you in your teaching and classroom practice and let us know how it goes!
For credit towards an Accingo Course certificate, try something from this series in your own classroom, then complete a short, structured reflection on what you learned and what you would bring to your PLC and/or regular practice. You will see "Application Artifact" if required.
