Weβre thrilled to announce our collaboration with the St Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Academy Trust, a large multi-academy trust that is paving the way for innovation in education! π
Right now, St Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Academy Trust is trialling Teachmate with 70 teachers and senior leaders and weβre excited to see this initiative grow. The Trust has plans to use AI across all of its schools, helping to create an educational environment that’s supported by responsible AI π
Trust CEO Chris Foley said βOne of our core values is innovation. We are delighted to be in partnership with Teachmate and are looking forward to seeing the impact this technology has on our staff, their workload and their work/life balance.β
The importance of onboarding staff to feel confident using AI to support their daily teaching
At the time of writing, 3/3 of the primary schools who are part of the trial have been onboarded as well as 2/2 of the secondary schools. The most popular tools amongst the staff were:
- π Model Text Generator
- βοΈ Help Me Write
- π Comprehension Generator
- π©βπ« Lesson Planner
When staff were asked about which elements of their job took up the largest amount of time, the most common answers were planning and resource creation. We’re thrilled that we’ll be able to support the teachers of the St Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Academy Trust with these vital, yet time-consuming elements of their jobs.
