Teaching with Generative AI: A Resource Hub for Modern Educators

Explore safe, effective ways teachers can use AI across all school levels

By SELINclub | 14 Jul 2025, 02:14 AM

In this fast-changing world of education, there is one powerful force that is changing teachers' pedagogy and learners' learning rapidly: Generative AI. Previously confined to technology firms and research laboratories, artificial intelligence is now beginning to enter classrooms in a significant manner. Teachers within primary and secondary schools are slowly starting to adopt this technology, whereas school leaders are conceptualising innovative ways in which schools can impart instruction in more engaging, personalised, and efficient ways.

But as thrilling as this change can be, it is also uncertain. Educators are wondering: What is generative AI, anyway? How can it assist teaching without taking the place of teachers? Are there trustworthy sources available to assist us in applying it well? That's where the Teaching with Generative AI Resource Hub enters the picture—a one-stop shop aimed at guiding, assisting, and enabling educators of all types.

Understanding Generative AI in Education

Generative AI is the name for machine learning algorithms that are capable of generating new content. This can be text, images, music, videos, and even interactive models. It may be text, image, sound, video, or even interactive models. While normal AI only sees data, generative AI can create new content based on patterns it has learned. A program such as ChatGPT can compose essays, answer questions, summarise articles, and even replicate ancient historical dialogue.

In school, generative AI can help teachers save time, cater to all learners, and offer more interactive learning experiences. At primary school, it can generate stories at age-appropriate, spelling exercises, or phonics sheets. At secondary school, it can help students analyse texts, build science projects, or learn examination materials in customised formats.

Why a Resource Hub is Essential

The fast growth of AI tools can be overwhelming. New apps and platforms appear almost weekly, and not all are suitable for classroom use. Educators need a trusted, curated hub that gathers safe, ethical, and effective resources in one place. That’s what the Teaching with Generative AI Resource Hub aims to provide.

This hub is not just a tool directory. It offers:

• Practical lesson templates for teachers.
   
• Step-by-step guides on using AI in class.
   
• Training modules for educators and school leaders.
   
• Research-backed policies on responsible AI use.
   
• Case studies from real-world classrooms.

Whether you teach Year 2 phonics or A-Level mathematics, the hub ensures you’re not navigating this new terrain alone. It gives you the confidence to use generative AI meaningfully and ethically.

Primary and Secondary Classrooms: Different Needs, Shared Benefits

The primary and secondary teachers are different, but generative AI can assist both of them. For primary teachers, there are AI tools that can generate visual aids, story starters, and songs within students' reading level. AI can assist in generating differentiated worksheets that are suitable for mixed abilities within a class.

At the secondary level, AI facilitates extensive learning of sophisticated subjects. AI may assist with essay suggestions, explanations of math problems, or the discovery of counterarguments for a debate. AI may be used by educators to mimic discussions in history, generate practice examination questions, or offer prompt feedback on homework.

Whether you’re managing a classroom of Year 3 learners or preparing GCSE candidates, AI can act as a digital teaching assistant, helping to reduce workload and increase engagement.

How the Resource Hub Helps Teachers

The Teaching with Generative AI Resource Hub is built with teachers in mind. It doesn’t just show you what tools exist; it shows you how to use them effectively.

Here’s what teachers will find:

• How-to guides on tools like ChatGPT, Canva, DALL·E, and more.
   
• AI lesson plan templates for English, science, history, and maths.
   
• Safe usage frameworks aligned with data privacy standards.
   
• Interactive webinars and training videos.
   
• Peer-shared resources from fellow educators.

There is also a section for subject leaders and department heads, who can access more in-depth guidance on developing school-wide AI policies and leading professional learning sessions for their teams.

A Tool for School Leaders and Administrators

AI is not just for classroom teachers. School leaders and administrators are key to guiding responsible implementation. The resource hub provides strategic support for:

• Drafting AI usage policies aligned with school values.
   
• Creating PD plans for staff training.
   
• Developing risk assessments and safeguarding guidelines.
   
• Tracking data privacy laws and staying compliant.

Educational leaders can also find support for equity in AI access, ensuring all pupils and teachers benefit, regardless of background or ability.

Moreover, the hub includes examples of successful AI integration in schools around the world. These stories help leaders see what works, what doesn't, and how to prepare their schools for the digital future.

Empowering Students Through Generative AI

While AI tools can support teachers, they can also empower students directly. Learners are already exploring tools that summarise text, solve equations, and generate diagrams. But without proper guidance, there’s a risk of misuse or dependency.

That’s why the resource hub focuses on student digital literacy. It provides tools and activities to teach pupils:

• How generative AI works.
   
• When to trust AI-generated content.
   
• How to evaluate bias or misinformation.
   
• How to use AI responsibly and ethically.

This prepares students not just for exams, but for life in a world where AI will be everywhere—from workplaces to social platforms.

Lesson Planning with AI Support

Planning a week’s worth of engaging lessons takes hours. Generative AI can help teachers brainstorm content faster without sacrificing quality. With the hub’s tools, you can:

• Generate topic-specific lesson plans in minutes.
   
• Modify materials for SEN or EAL learners.
   
• Create homework tasks matched to curriculum goals.
   
• Produce engaging questions for classroom discussion.

AI won’t replace your professional judgment, but it can provide a starting point for inspiration, saving you time and effort.

Building an Ethical AI Classroom

AI raises important ethical questions. Who owns AI-generated content? Can students use it for assignments? Should schools ban certain tools?

The Teaching with Generative AI Resource Hub helps educators navigate these questions. It includes:

• Age-appropriate digital ethics lessons.
   
• Sample acceptable use policies.
   
• GDPR-compliant AI tool lists.
   
• Guidelines on citation and originality.

The goal is to make ethical AI use the norm in every classroom, just as we teach plagiarism rules and research skills today.

Collaborating Through the Hub

One of the greatest strengths of the hub is its community aspect. Educators can:

• Share best practices.
   
• Submit their own AI-based lesson resources.
   
• Attend live Q&A sessions with AI experts.
   
• Connect with teachers from other countries.

Learning with AI is not a solo journey. The hub ensures collaboration across schools, regions, and roles, building a network of confident AI educators.
