Get your teachers AI-ready.
Your students are already using AI. Most teachers were never trained to guide them, catch its mistakes, or respond when something goes wrong.
Hands-on professional development for K–12 faculty, onsite or virtual. Eight modules, in formats from a one-hour faculty meeting to a full in-service day. Every teacher leaves with materials they use the next day.
- No technical background needed
- No student data touched
- Bring a laptop or tablet
- Book with one week's notice
All hands-on, from how AI fails to talking with families.
Essentials, Foundations, Applied, and the Complete Program. Self-paced and blended, too.
Stop asking teachers to figure out AI on their own.
AI moved faster than anyone planned for. Students picked it up on their own. Teachers were handed a policy, maybe a webinar, and left to catch up.
They're a step behind their students.
Students use AI every day. Most teachers have never been shown how it works, why it sounds confident when it's wrong, or how to check it. It's hard to guide what you haven't been taught.
There's a policy. There's no training.
Most schools have rules about AI. Few have given teachers hands-on practice to teach with it, assess around it, or respond when something goes wrong.
Ban it in class or let it run.
One leaves students guessing. The other leaves teachers guessing. Neither gets a faculty ready for the first incident, the first deepfake, or the first parent who asks what the school is doing.
"We get it. AI moved faster than anyone planned for, and teachers were left to catch up. I teach data science at Villanova, and I see what happens when students arrive having used AI for years without anyone showing them how it works. The teachers I work with want to get this right. They just haven't been given the time or the training."
"Our kids need to be taught how to use AI. They are using it without guidance."
Three steps from "we need to do something about AI" to a faculty that's ready.
Choose a format.
Live, self-paced, or blended. Every live format runs onsite or virtually, from a one-hour faculty meeting to a full in-service day.
We plan it with you.
A short planning call to set dates, goals, and delivery. We tailor the examples to your grade bands and subjects. One week of lead time is all we need.
Teachers leave ready.
Every module is hands-on. Teachers leave with materials they use the next day: prompt templates, a grade-band guide, a tool vetting checklist, a first-hour response guide, and more.
Want to see every module and format first? The offering sheet is two pages.
A one-off webinar
An hour of slides, nothing to practice, nothing to take back to the classroom. Forgotten by Friday.
RAILE Teacher PD
Hands-on practice in every module, sized to your schedule, with take-home materials teachers use the next day. Taught by someone who teaches.
Figure it out alone
Every teacher on their own, learning from whatever shows up in their feed. The first incident becomes the training.
Let's address the fear directly.
- "Do our teachers need a technical background?" No. Every module starts from what teachers already know about teaching. If they can run a lesson, they can do this.
- "Does any of this touch student data?" No. Activities use the facilitator's examples and teachers' own planning work. No student names, work, or records come into a session, and Module 2 teaches teachers how to keep it that way.
- "How much time does it take?" As little as one hour. Essentials fits a faculty meeting. The Complete Program is a full in-service day. Self-paced modules run on each teacher's own schedule.
- "What do teachers need to bring?" A laptop or tablet for the hands-on parts. Nothing to install.
- "How far ahead do we need to book?" One week. Tell us the date and format and we plan the rest with you.
Everything a teacher needs to understand AI, use it, teach with it, and keep kids safe.
Every module pairs a short explanation with practice. Teachers break the bot, differentiate a real lesson, redesign an assignment, vet a tool, and draft a parent letter.

Hands-on: Break the Bot and a small-group safety scenario.
Foundations
2 hoursAI for teachers' own work plus classroom basics. Also runs as two 1-hour sessions.
Hands-on: Differentiate a real lesson; work through two safety scenarios.
Applied
Half dayModules 1 through 6 with full activities, for an in-service morning or afternoon.
Hands-on: Leave with a new classroom activity and a redesigned assignment.
Complete Program
Full dayAll eight modules, including family communication and staying current.

Self-paced and blended
Your scheduleSelf-paced modules teachers complete on their own time, or blended with live sessions for hands-on practice.
Picture the faculty meeting where everyone is on the same page about AI.
Understand AI
How it works, why it fails, and how to check it.
Save time
Planning, differentiation, and feedback, done safely.
Teach with AI
Classroom activities and assessments built for an AI world.
Keep kids safe
Spot the risks and respond to incidents with confidence.
From a faculty with an AI policy and a lot of questions,
to teachers who use AI with confidence, teach students to question it, and know exactly what to do when it matters.
Confidence you can see
- Teachers planning with AI without exposing student data.
- Assignments that make student thinking visible.
- A tool vetting habit instead of a guess.
One less thing to carry alone
- A first-hour response guide for when something goes wrong.
- A parent letter template, ready to send.
- When you email, Jake answers.
The pride part
- A school with a real answer when parents ask what you're doing about AI.
- Teachers who feel ahead of this, not behind it.
The first incident shouldn't be the training.
A companion chatbot. A deepfake of a student. An essay nobody can prove a person wrote. These are already happening in schools, and the first hour gets handled by whichever teacher is standing closest.
