Teachers in England can use Artificial Intelligence (AI) so that the marking can be accelerated and write a letter to the parents.

Training materials are being distributed to schools, first seen by the BBC, specifically seen, says that teachers can use technology to “help automated regular tasks” and focus rather than “quality face-to-face time”.

Teachers should be transparent about their use of AI and always check for its results, the Education Department (DFE) said.

The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) said that it could “vacate time for teaching face to face” but still had to be resolved “big issues”.

The BCS, for this the Chartered Institute, said that it was a “important step ahead”, but the teacher “clarity wants how they are really telling … Parents where they have used AI”.

Teachers and students Already experimenting With AI, and DFE has Before Supported its use among teachers.

However, this is the first time it has produced training materials and guidance for schools, stating how they should do and not to use it.

DFE says that AI should only be used for “low-way” such as quiz or homework, and teachers should check its results.

They also allow teachers to use AI to write “routine” letters to parents.

A section shows how it can be used to generate a letter about the outbreak of the head lice, for example.

Emma Darcy, a secondary school leader, who works as an advisor to support AI and other schools with digital strategy, said that teachers had “almost a moral responsibility” to know how to use it because students were already doing so “great depth”.

“If we are not using these devices as teachers, we are not able to support confidence with using our youth,” he said.

But he warned that the opportunity were with risks such as “potential data violations” and errors.

“AI made-up quotes, can come up with facts [and] Information, “he said.” You have to make sure that you do not outsource what you are fulfilling. ,

DFE guidance states that schools should have clear policies on AI, in which teachers and students cannot use it, and this is the best way to spot manual checks is whether students are using it to cheat it.

It also states that only approved equipment should be used and students should be taught to identify deepfec and other misinformation.

Education Secretary Bridget Philipson said that the purpose of guidance is to “cut workload”.

He said, “We are putting state-of-the-art AI tools in the hands of our magnificent teachers how our children learn and how to develop-freeing teachers from paperwork so that they can focus on parents and students to focus on what is the most needed: inspirational teaching and personal support,” he said.

ASCL General Secretary Peppe DI’IASIO stated that many schools and colleges were already “safely and effectively using AI” and had the ability to reduce the workload of heavy employees and as a result, recruitment and retention challenges helped.

“However, there are some big issues,” he said. “The budgets are extremely tight due to heavy financial pressures on the education sector and need to invest to feel possible benefits of AI.”

Research from BCS, Chartered Institute for ITAt the end of last year suggested that most teachers were not using AI, and there was a concern among those who were about to tell their school.

But its managing director for education, Julia Edmson, said the guidance “seems like an important step”.

He said: “Teachers want clarity how they should actually tell the parents where they have used AI, for example to write emails, to avoid reporting extra pressure and burden.”

Scottish And Welsh Governments have said that AI can support with tasks such as marking, unless it is used professional and responsibly.

In Northern IrelandLast week’s Education Minister Paul Givan announced that an study of Oxford Brooks University would evaluate how AI can improve education results for some students.
