EB News: 05/09/2024 - 11:03
Oak National Academy has announced the launch of its new AI lesson planner which it says will allow teachers to create personalised resources in minutes.
The free AI assistant, called Aila, will help with lesson prep, including creating bespoke lesson plans, resources, teacher slides, pupil quizzes and pupil worksheets with practice tasks.
Aila draws on Oak's curriculum plans and teaching resources which have been developed in line with our research-informed curriculum principles created by leading educators and subject experts. This means that content is aligned with the national curriculum and geared to UK classrooms.
James, Teacher at St Cuthbert Mayne School, said: "“Incorporating Alia into my teaching toolkit has the potential to not only save me time - around 30 minutes per lesson - but also enhance the quality and effectiveness of my lessons, ultimately benefiting both myself and my students.”
Nearly three-quarters of teachers (72%) say the current SEND system fails children, yet more than half (56%) expect anticipated reforms to negatively impact SEND pupils with complex needs.
Over a quarter of all schools and colleges across England are taking part in the free National Education Nature Park programme, which sees young people create nature-rich spaces on school sites.
