Generative AI is already in your classroom and training room. This book shows you how to use it well — to plan faster, create better-differentiated materials, give richer feedback to more learners, and reclaim time for the parts of teaching only a human can do — while protecting privacy, accuracy, and academic integrity.

AI for Teachers and Trainers is practical, honest, and tool-neutral. No technical background is needed. Every chapter includes ready-to-adapt prompts (with weak → effective examples), templates, and checklists, following two fictional settings — a secondary school and a healthcare training academy — so school teachers, lecturers, corporate trainers, and instructional designers all see their own work reflected.
