TEACHER COMPETENCY

“Enabling lifelong professional learning: Teachers are expected to be able to explore the use of AI tools to enhance their professional development and reflective
practices, assess their learning needs, and personalize their learning pathways in a
rapidly evolving educational landscape.”

CURRICULAR GOALS (CG)

“CG 5.1.1 Nurture teachers’ motivation for lifelong professional learning in the AI era by engaging teachers in discussion on the educational implications of the rapid development of AI, the new
roles teachers need to play in AI-rich settings, and the new competencies they need to develop; support teachers to understand the value in becoming a lifelong professional learner in the AI era while being aware that their rights and agency should be protected.”

“CG 5.1.2 Guide self-assessment on teachers’ AI readiness and identify competency gaps using paper based or AI-assisted self-assessment instruments.”

“CG 5.1.3 Build awareness of teacher facing AI by introducing teachers to general and specific AI tools that can be used to support their professional development with special attention to teachers who have disabilities and/or work with students who do; help teachers learn how to find and use AI tools to enrich their professional learning.”

“CG 5.1.4 Facilitate the leveraging of AI for professional learning, for example by guiding teachers to understand how content recommendation platforms identify teachers’ interests through their
inputs and recommend peer mentors and/or training resources; help teachers to comprehend the
risks posed to them by data biases and algorithmic discrimination, and how reliance on cocoons
of AI-manipulated information could lead to the atrophy of their competencies.”

LEARNING OBJECTIVES (LO)

“LO 5.1.1 Describe the evolution of teachers’ rights, working conditions, qualifications and required
competencies in the AI era and in local contexts; explain why it is important to be a lifelong learner on AI and its use in education.”

“LO 5.1.2 Exemplify the new knowledge, skills and values required by the teaching profession in local contexts in the AI era and assess the gap between their own knowledge and experience on AI and the required AI competencies.”

LO5.1.3 List various AI tools including locally relevant open-source tools that can be used or repurposed to support self-assessment, reflective practices and professional learning with special attention to enabling accessibility for teachers with disabilities.

“LO 5.1.4 Locate and apply teacher-facing AI tools that are affordable and relevant to respond to the
needs of self-assessment and personal professional learning on subject-matter knowledge, pedagogical skills and peer-learning.”

CONTEXTUAL ACTIVITIES

“‘Awareness of teachers’ basic rights and obligations in the AI era: Delineate the rights that should be protected, the basic working conditions and guidance or training opportunities that should be provided for teachers in the AI era, as well as their main professional development responsibilities to ensure the ethical and effective use of AI in education.”

“Self-assessment of readiness for teaching in the AI era: Conduct assessments of their own
readiness and competency gaps and devise possible roadmaps for professional development to build their capacity for ethical and effective AI-assisted teaching.”

“Human-directed use of AI to open professional learning horizons: Gain experience and skills to use AI-assisted social media to prompt new ideas and recommend peers who share similar professional interests and/or can serve as peer coaches or mentors. Learn how to detect and mitigate the negative effects of AI-manipulated information cocoons.”
