Duration

18 hours. Six sessions of three hours.

Schedule

Twice weekly over three weeks, or weekly over six. Set in consultation with the school calendar.

Delivery

On your campus, for your teachers only. Cohorts are never mixed across schools.

Cohort size

Minimum 20, maximum 25 teachers.

Placement

From the competency assessment, confirmed in the first session by scored practical work rather than by score alone.

Language

Mixed cohorts. Every teacher works in their own language of instruction.

Certification

A certificate of completion, issued on submitted work. Not on attendance.

Evidence

Outcomes are verified by inspecting what each teacher produced. No exit test and no exit self-report.

What each teacher holds on completion

Every item below is produced during the course, in the teacher's own subject, grade band and language of instruction, using their own curriculum and their own students' work.

• Classroom-ready student-facing materials for lessons on their current schedule, corrected to a standard fit for distribution.
• A complete multi-lesson plan for a course they teach, revised against the school’s own curriculum document.
• A unit assessment with answer key, and a scoring rubric applied to real student responses.
• A working feedback routine, run during the course on a real set of student work, at both student and parent register.
• A differentiated and accommodated version set of a core lesson, built for the actual learners on their roster, including those on support plans.
• A personal prompt library of at least twelve prompts, each validated on their own subject, grade band and language, with its known failure recorded alongside it.
• A written statement of their own AI use that a principal can review and a parent can be shown.
• A deployment plan for their next two weeks of teaching, with a stated point at which any task that costs more time than it saves is dropped.

Alongside these, each teacher can judge, on the material in front of them, where generative AI output is safe to use as produced, where it must be corrected before it reaches a child, and where it must be rejected outright. That judgment is exercised on their own artifacts throughout the course, not discussed in the abstract.

How the certificate is earned

Three pieces of submitted work: the first-session practical task, one classroom artifact of the teacher's choosing from the middle of the course, and the closing set of prompt library, deployment plan and AI use statement. Each is marked met or not met against a fixed standard. One resubmission is allowed.

There are no grades and no ranking.

What the school gets

• A shared standard of practice across participating teachers, in place of individual improvisation.
• A documented, reviewable statement of AI use from every teacher who completes, suitable for parent and board communication.
• A faculty-level competency profile at baseline and on completion, broken down by domain.
• The list of teachers who completed, and of those, who is eligible to continue to Deepen.
