AI for Education
AI literacy PD and policy partner for schools — paid workshops and train-the-trainer institutes on one side, a serious free resource library on the other.
TL;DR
AI for Education is the rare PD provider with a free resource library worth bookmarking on its own — Prompt Library, 4-lesson student AI literacy unit, a free 2-hour educator course, weekly newsletter. The paid side is consulting-grade — train-the-trainer institutes, AI policy development, adoption strategy, named workshops — and that's where most of the depth (and price) lives.
Recommend it if
You're a school or district leader looking for an external partner to run PD, draft an AI policy, or train a cohort of trainer-educators; or you're a classroom teacher who wants a vetted prompt library and a free 2-hour course before going further.
Skip it if
You want a software tool that does something for you in the browser, you need a quick lesson generator, or you need transparent self-serve pricing for a small school budget.

Real-world use cases
How a teacher, student or parent actually puts this tool to work.
| Who | Scenario | Time | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| School leaders | A district CTO needs an AI policy and a roll-out plan — engages AI for Education for end-to-end Policy Development and Adoption Strategy, then schedules a Train-the-Trainer institute for 12 lead teachers. | 8-12 weeks | Published district AI policy + cohort of 12 trained trainers |
| Teachers | A 7th-grade ELA teacher new to GenAI takes the free 2-hour educator course on a Saturday morning, then pulls 3 prompts from the Prompt Library to draft Monday's writing-feedback rubric. | 2 hours + ongoing | Personal AI literacy + a reusable bank of vetted prompts |
| Teachers | A high-school CS teacher assigns the free GenAI Literacy 101 for Students course as a pre-unit homework — 5 lessons covering SEE Framework, prompting, spotting mistakes, and personal GenAI code of conduct. | 2 hours per student | Whole class with shared AI literacy baseline |

AI for Education is a PD and policy consulting partner, not a software tool — and the catalog includes it because there’s no equivalent for school leaders who need an outside hand to roll out AI responsibly.
What’s worth your attention:
- Free Prompt Library — task-organized, browse-able, ready to copy
- Free 2-hour educator course (An Essential Guide to AI for Educators) — hands-on, no demo call required
- Free 4-lesson student AI literacy curriculum — drop-in for any HS classroom
- Free 2-hour GenAI Literacy 101 student course — self-paced, online, free
- SEE Framework — Safely, Ethically, Effectively — concrete language for AI literacy
- Weekly newsletter + webinar library + dozens of one-page resource guides
The paid side is the depth — named workshops, train-the-trainer institutes, end-to-end AI policy development, adoption strategy packages, custom events and CEO keynotes — but the free side alone is the most thorough AI-literacy resource library we’ve seen from a single provider.
What we like
- + Free Resource Center is genuinely substantial — Prompt Library for Educators, 4-lesson student AI literacy curriculum, weekly newsletter, dozens of one-page resource guides
- + Free 2-hour self-paced AI course for educators, plus a separate free 2-hour GenAI Literacy 101 course for high-school and college students
- + SEE Framework (Safely, Ethically, Effectively) gives schools a concrete language for AI literacy beyond "be careful"

Heads up
- − This is a services + content company, not a software product — no app to install, no dashboard to share with teachers
- − Workshop, course and consulting prices are not published — every paid engagement is quote-based
- − Most of the deep frameworks (SEE, train-the-trainer institutes) target school/district leadership rather than individual classroom teachers
- − US-centric framing on policy and state guidance, even though they work internationally

They collect contact and enrollment details for courses and engagements. Ask sales for a data-handling addendum if procurement requires one before signing a workshop or consulting contract.
