By the end of the school year, three thousand Moscow teachers will complete a course on working with artificial intelligence (AI). The program is designed for teachers of all specialties and will help reduce teachers' routine workload. Furthermore, teachers will learn to identify student work written using AI, the press service reported. Moscow Department of Education and Science.
"Improving teachers' AI literacy is an important and pressing task for the capital's education system. The introduction of new technologies into the educational process must be accompanied by staff training and clear rules, including those addressing safety and academic integrity. By the end of this academic year, three thousand Moscow teachers will have completed a professional development program in working with artificial intelligence," the department's press service reported.
The training will begin on March 24 and will last two months. The online course is 36 hours long and includes a series of webinars and self-paced lessons that can be completed at your convenience. Some lessons include pre-written scenarios—they're easy to use and adapt for your classroom.
The course will also allow teachers to determine their level of AI proficiency—all participants will take a knowledge and skills test at the start and upon completion of the course. Upon completion, teachers will receive certificates of advanced training.
The course requires no prior experience with neural networks—all necessary skills can be acquired during the course. The program covers several key areas of interaction with AI tools—from creating assessments and interactive lesson materials to building interactions with students. A separate section is devoted to cheating: teachers will learn to distinguish student work from AI responses and configure interactions with AI so that it helps students think, not just provide answers.
Yandex Education specialists, in collaboration with Moscow City Pedagogical University, developed a program for teachers working with artificial intelligence. This year, they plan to expand the training program through educational congresses, internships, and conferences.
"We're systematically working to make high-quality education accessible, and AI tools can relieve teachers of some routine tasks. This will give them more time to work with students and develop a personalized approach, new learning formats, and live interaction in the classroom. However, it's important to implement AI responsibly: understand where it's appropriate and where it's not. Therefore, together with specialists from the Moscow City Pedagogical University, we've developed a professional development program that equips teachers with the skills and clear guidelines for working with AI in the school environment," noted Daria Kozlova, Director of a partner company.
