ChatGPT for Teachers
We’re excited to share that our district will soon be launching ChatGPT for Teachers, a secure, managed version of ChatGPT explicitly designed for schools. As Dr. Buck previously shared, you're not required to use AI, but when used intentionally, it can be a powerful tool for efficiency, creativity, and problem-solving. ChatGPT for Teachers gives educators access to powerful AI tools with added security, privacy protections, and features like higher message limits, early access to new capabilities, and the ability to collaborate safely within our district.
As part of this launch, our Technology and Innovation Coaches team is preparing an asynchronous training opportunity in collaboration with the trainers at OpenAI to help you get started confidently and make the most of the tool in your role.
That training will be made available to you starting on January 15, 2026. You’re also invited to join the OpenAI Academy K-12 Education community, which includes:
Helpful prompt packs and classroom examples
Recordings, resources, and announcements
A shared space to explore what’s possible with ChatGPT Edu
After you complete the in-district asynchronous training, you will also sign an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). You will receive instructions from our IT department on how to access ChatGPT for Teachers as soon as your account is set up.
Immediate next steps if you wish to participate:

Keep an eye on your inbox for any additional updates leading up to our January 15 launch.
We’re excited to bring this tool to you and look forward to seeing how you’ll use ChatGPT for Teachers to support teaching and learning and to improve the efficiency of your day-to-day work!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education
AI resources, products, etc. are everywhere right now! It also can be a bit overwhelming to even know where to start if you aren't familiar with what AI is. Let's explore some background information about AI and a few tools teachers might want to try.
What is AI?
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a computer or machine to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and more.
Matt Miller, author of Ditch That Textbook, has released a new book called AI for Educators. A quote from Matt Miller was shared with me by a colleague and it really made me pause & reflect.
What can we do as educators to use our "tomorrow glasses" and not be in our comfort zone in our "today glasses"?
There are many resources available using AI. Below are a few options for teachers to start with and how to effectively prompt with AI for better results.
AI Tools for Teachers to Explore
ChatGPT is a generative AI chatbot that interacts with the user through a conversation. It uses databases to answer your prompts or questions but it does not "learn" new things and is static. Also, ChatGPT does not necessarily provide you with accurate information.
