AI in Teaching: Harnessing Technology for Better Learning

Transform the way you plan, teach and assess with practical, evidence-informed uses of AI in Bangladeshi classrooms.

AI will not replace teachers — but teachers who can use AI wisely will have powerful new tools. This evidence-informed course shows you how to reduce workload, generate high-quality resources and support pupils’ learning without losing professional judgement. Grounded in research on digital technology and learning, you will explore both the opportunities and the limits of generative AI and related tools in Bangladesh’s context.

What to expect

One-day workshop

Get hands-on with AI tools that can assist lesson planning, generate examples and questions, and streamline feedback. Learn how to write effective prompts, evaluate AI outputs and adapt them for your pupils. See where AI adds value — and where it can distract from good teaching.

20-hours online learning

Deepen your practice with case studies, ethical guidelines and data-protection considerations. Build simple workflows for planning, differentiation and assessment that fit Bangladeshi classrooms, from low-tech to high-tech settings. Create a personal AI-in-teaching plan that serves learning rather than technology for its own sake.

Core strategies you will master

Using AI as a planning partner to draft, then refine, lesson ideas, questions and examples.
Generating and adapting resources (quizzes, explanations, texts) for different abilities and languages.
AI-supported feedback that helps create models, checklists and success criteria while you stay in control.
Applying safety and ethics principles so pupil data is protected and AI outputs are checked for accuracy and bias.

How you will learn — the EBTD Deliberate Practice Model

All EBTD courses use our Deliberate Practice Model — a five-step cycle designed to help teachers successfully change habits in real Bangladeshi classrooms:

DEFINE → MODEL → PRACTISE → REFINE → REFLECT

DEFINE: choose one small, specific way AI could help you (for example, generating retrieval questions or drafting model answers).
MODEL: see clear examples of strong prompts, evaluation checklists and safe workflows for using AI.
PRACTISE: rehearse writing prompts, adapting AI outputs and planning “human checks” in short, low-stakes exercises.
REFINE: receive precise feedback on your prompts, safeguards and classroom applications, then immediately improve them.
REFLECT: plan how you will use AI in the next few weeks, and what evidence you will look for that it is helping learning and not just saving time.

The aim is not to use every new tool, but to develop a few reliable AI routines that support better teaching and learning.

Key questions

Could AI free you from repetitive tasks so you can focus more on explanation, questioning and feedback?
How can technology improve modelling and practice opportunities, rather than distract from them?
What checks must you put in place to ensure AI-generated content is accurate, appropriate and aligned with your curriculum?
How will you explain to pupils what AI is — and is not — for in your classroom?

How this course will change practice

By the end of the course you’ll be able to integrate AI tools confidently and critically. You will know how to:

use AI to generate starting-point ideas and resources, then refine them using your expertise;
create more practice questions, examples and explanations without increasing your workload;
support feedback and assessment processes while keeping final decisions firmly in your hands;
set clear boundaries and safeguards so that AI serves pupils’ learning and wellbeing.

The result: reduced administrative workload, richer learning materials and more time for high-quality teaching and relationships with pupils.

Preparation reading before the course

To get the most from this module, we recommend our think-piece blog: 7 Ways AI Can Be Your Lesson-Planning Partner.

7 Ways AI Can Be Your Lesson Planning Partner

The blog introduces practical ways AI can support busy teachers in Bangladesh — from drafting lesson skeletons to generating examples and questions — while emphasising the need for professional judgement, cultural relevance and subject accuracy.

Reflection prompts

Which parts of planning (for example, generating questions or examples) take most of your time each week?
Where might AI help you create better starting points, which you can then edit and localise for your pupils?
What non-negotiable checks will you always apply before using AI-generated content in class?
How could you explain to colleagues that AI is a tool for teachers, not a replacement for them?

Designed for Bangladesh classrooms

Built for large classes, exam-driven contexts and variable access to devices.

Print-first outputs (quizzes, exit tickets, exemplars) for low-device settings.
Bangla/English prompt patterns for dual-language contexts.
Low-bandwidth workflows and reusable prompt templates for each term.
