AI Pedagogy for High School Education

A one-year train the trainer AI pedagogy program designed for high schools, empowering teachers to responsibly integrate artificial intelligence into teaching, guided by Harvard-level academic leadership and delivered by IEG Global Association.

Why AI Pedagogy Matters Now

Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how students learn, write, research, and make decisions, often outside the classroom and without guidance. In this reality, the question for schools is no longer whether AI should be addressed, but how it should be taught, guided, and governed.

IEG Global Association offers a one-year train-the-trainer program designed to help schools and teachers to build internal sustainable capacity for teaching with AI in a responsible, pedagogically sound, and internationally aligned manner.

This program focuses on pedagogy curriculum integration and teacher confidence rather than short-term workshops or tool-specific training. It supports teachers in moving beyond reactive policies toward intentional instruction, helping students develop judgment, responsibility, and critical thinking with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

First AI Pedagogy

The program is the first comprehensive AI curriculum that brings together AI fundamentals, applied use cases, ethical considerations, and interdisciplinary thinking into a cohesive learning framework designed for secondary education.

  • Learn how to design lessons and assessments that use AI to strengthen critical thinking rather than replace it.

  • Learn how to address academic integrity, ethics, and responsible AI use.

  • Learn how to design project-based learning experiences that integrate AI across subjects.

  • Be prepared to lead internal AI curriculum conversations and train other faculty members.

Curriculum Structure

The AI Pedagogy for High School Education program is delivered through a four-phase learning journey that combines pedagogical foundations, collaborative design, classroom application, and knowledge sharing. The structure is designed to be flexible and may be delivered online or through blended formats, depending on the cohort and regional context.

Phase 1: Foundations Bootcamp

This phase establishes a shared foundation in advanced teaching and learning practices.

Participants explore:

  • Core principles of advanced pedagogy, including cognitive science, active learning, flipped classroom models, and mastery-based progression
  • Technology integration for teaching, such as artificial intelligence tools, immersive technologies, gamification, and digital assessment methods
  • Ethics in education, with a focus on academic integrity, inclusive pedagogy, and character-centered instruction
  • Case studies highlighting global best practices in innovative and responsible teaching

This phase builds a common language and framework for AI pedagogy across disciplines.

Phase 2: Innovation Incubator

During this phase, participants collaborate in interdisciplinary teams to design classroom innovations.

Key components include:

  • Team-based development of ethically grounded instructional strategies
  • Guided planning and brainstorming sessions focused on instructional design, equity, and student character outcomes
  • Regular coaching and office hours with academic consultants
  • Access to digital platforms, prototyping resources, and expert guidance

The Innovation Incubator emphasizes thoughtful design before classroom implementation.

Phase 3: Pilot Implementation

In this phase, participants apply their designs in real classroom settings.

Participants will:

  • Pilot their instructional strategies within their own schools
  • Engage in peer observation and reflective feedback cycles
  • Examine instructional quality, classroom culture, and responsible AI use
  • Collect qualitative and quantitative data on student engagement and learning outcomes

This phase ensures that pedagogy is tested in authentic educational environments.

Phase 4: Showcase and Knowledge Transfer
