WHO IT'S FOR
Teachers, coaches, and tech integrationists in Google Workspace for Education schools who want to get real classroom value out of Gemini and Gems.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
Discover Google’s powerful, free generative AI tool and how it can assist educators and students. In this course we will do a hands-on deep dive in Gemini including prompting, educational uses, fact checking, deep research, guided learning, the canvas tool (for slideshows, coding, and more), custom Gems, Gemini apps, image and audio generation, Gemini tools (in Classroom, NotebookLM, and other Google tools), data privacy features, and more.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
WHO IT'S FOR
K-12 teachers, coaches, instructional leaders and tech integrationists.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
Designed for educators committed to building truly inclusive classrooms, this cohort empowers teachers to leverage artificial intelligence to design flexible, highly accessible learning environments aligned with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework. Grounded in state-level guidelines and ethical standards, participants will journey from basic AI literacy to mastering specialized tools like Google Gemini, Custom Gems, and NotebookLM. By exploring practical, classroom-ready strategies for each of the three UDL pillars—Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression—teachers will learn how to build personalized student hooks, remove linguistic and cognitive barriers, and provide graduated scaffolds that foster genuine learner agency for all students.

WHO IT'S FOR
Heads of school, principals, curriculum directors, and technology leaders at international and independent schools.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
Making Sense of AI in International Schools
International schools occupy a unique position in the AI landscape, serving multilingual learners, internationally mobile families, and diverse faculty while preparing students for a rapidly changing future. Yet many international schools are still determining how best to respond to AI. School leaders face growing questions about teaching and learning, assessment, academic integrity, student use of AI, faculty readiness, parent expectations, and emerging technologies—often while balancing numerous competing priorities. This cohort is designed to help heads of school, curriculum leaders, technology directors, and other educational leaders make sense of a fast-changing landscape. Through practical examples, case studies, and guided discussion, participants will develop a clearer understanding of how AI is reshaping education, identify the issues most relevant to their schools, and explore informed responses that can help them navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
WHO IT'S FOR
Building and district administrators, technology directors, and teacher leaders responsible for drafting or revising AI policy.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
Lead the shift to address the reality that artificial intelligence is changing education faster than traditional policies can keep pace. School and district leaders are being asked to make decisions about teaching, learning, privacy, academic integrity, communication, and technology, often without a clear roadmap.
This leadership series provides a practical framework for building an AI-ready school system. Rather than focusing on individual AI tools, participants will learn how to establish a shared vision, create effective governance structures, develop clear expectations for staff and students, make consistent decisions about AI technologies, and build a culture of continuous improvement. Each session combines leadership strategies, real-world examples, implementation tools, and practical resources that participants can immediately adapt for their own schools or districts.

Wave 2 - October 2026
WHO IT'S FOR
K-12 teachers, advisors, and school leaders who want students taking an active role in how AI shows up at school.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
The presence of artificial intelligence in today's educational landscape offers educators a unique opportunity to expand what it means for students to drive their own learning journeys. This cohort provides a strategic roadmap for activating true student agency in an AI-driven world. Together, we will discover how to leverage specific AI platforms, like NotebookLM, to boost student goal-setting, self-efficacy, pacing, and ownership. Let's examine how centering student voice can increase engagement and transform the learning in your school.

WHO IT'S FOR
Curious educators at any grade level and any technical comfort level. If you have ever thought "there should be a tool that does this," this cohort is for you.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
Are you looking to build custom AI tools for your students but feel intimidated by traditional programming? Welcome to the era of “vibe coding,” where natural language, clear instructions, and creative dialogue replace complex syntax. In this cohort, we will explore how educators can combine the conversational power of Gemini with the educator-friendly sandbox of PlayLab.AI to effortlessly create custom learning apps, interactive tutors, and time-saving productivity tools. You don’t need a background in computer science; you need a vision for your classroom. We will walk step-by-step through using Gemini as your logic and brainstorming engine, and PlayLab.AI as the platform to bring those ideas to life for your students instantly.
