Goal: Equip teachers with AI tools to simplify lesson prep, improve classroom delivery, and support pupils — even with limited resources.
AI in Education: Empowering Rural Primary School Teachers in Kenya -Program Outline (2 Days Workshop)
1. Lesson Planning & Teaching Aids
- Use AI to instantly generate lesson plans aligned to the Competency-Based Education(CBE).
- Create age-appropriate quizzes, comprehension passages, and math word problems.
- Generate visual aids (charts, diagrams, flashcards) with free AI tools.
2. Personalized Learning Support
- Learn how to use AI tutors (like ChatGPT in Kiswahili/English) to give pupils extra practice.
- Create differentiated exercises for slow learners vs advanced pupils.
- Translate learning materials into local languages for inclusivity.
3. Reducing Teacher Workload
- Automate report writing (student progress, class performance summaries).
- Draft official letters, school notices, and parent communication with AI.
- Use AI to design timetables and activity schedules quickly.
4. Creativity & Engagement in Classrooms
- Storytelling with AI: generate short stories, poems, or songs for moral lessons.
- Create interactive worksheets, puzzles, and educational games.
- Use AI to bring real-world examples into lessons (e.g., generate a story about farming that teaches fractions).
5. Teacher Development & Networking
- AI as a continuous learning assistant: teachers use AI to upgrade their knowledge on any subject.
- Build small teacher communities that share AI-generated resources (WhatsApp/Telegram groups).
- Access free online courses on AI in education.
Outcomes for Teachers
- Less time spent preparing lessons = more time teaching.
- Stronger engagement with pupils through creative materials.
- More effective support for struggling learners.
- A “digital toolkit” they can keep using daily (lesson templates, report templates, activity generators).
The journey begins with empowering one teacher at a time. Join us in creating classrooms where every child is engaged, every teacher is supported, and the future is bright
