Guiding teachers and tutors on how to get the best out of ChatGPT.
Teaching with ChatGPT is a free online resource to empower UK teachers and other educators to use ChatGPT effectively to enhance their day-to-day work.
In research to develop the guide it was found that, of teachers who had already used ChatGPT and similar AI tools, the vast majority reported that it had saved them time, improved lessons and reduced their time to prepare for their classes. Despite this experience, as of September 2023, 50% of teachers said that they had not yet used generative AI.
The goal of the guide is to leverage this new technology in ways that will enable the easier and faster generation of high-quality teaching resources, and also to contribute to teacher retention and recruitment by reducing teacher workload. Through the guide, The Hg Foundation also hopes to reduce educational disadvantage by equipping more schools and teachers to make the best use of AI in classes.
This guide was supported by The Hg Foundation and produced with support from Bain & Company’s Social Impact practice, and from Bain’s Advanced Analytics Group. The Hg Foundation is also grateful for contributions and support in developing the guide from Academies Enterprise Trust, Ark, Tutor Trust, Mossbourne Community Academy, Mounts Bay Academy, Newcastle Sixth Form College, The Blue School, The Mirfield Free Grammar, Walkergate Community School and William Tyndale Primary School.
“All schools and teachers are having to find their way in this brave new world, but they know that the fundamentals of excellent teaching remain. That is what this guide gets right. It provides some immediate ways to empower teachers – giving them tips and tools to save time and get more done using the power of the new AI tools that are emerging.”
