March 18, 2025
“AI across the curriculum” works best when it is a small set of repeatable lesson moves, not a wholesale rewrite of schemes of work.

You’ll also find a copy-and-use one-page planning template, plus a single checklist covering safeguarding, privacy, accessibility and assessment integrity.

You’ll find quick set-up guidance, prompt frames that travel across subjects, six ready-to-run lesson moves, and practical safeguards that keep control with the teacher.
