As the first year of the Teachmate AI Ambassador Programme comes to a close, we thought we’d take a moment to reflect on what has been an amazing year!
What started as a pilot initiative has grown into a thriving community of AI pioneers – sharing ideas, learning new skills and building their AI confidence in the classroom π©βπ«π¨βπ« Keep reading to find out how you can apply to become one of our 2025-26 AI Ambassadors…
Over the past year, our Ambassadors have explored how Teachmate can enhance everything from lesson planning to image generation tools, SEND/adaptation and more! Weβve had insightful discussions, hands-on guests workshops, and ample opportunities for our ambassadors to increase their knowledge of AI.
The goal was always to equip educators not just with tools, but with understanding – and to empower them to lead positive AI conversations in their schools π€β¨
Weβre proud of whatβs been achieved so far and we can’t wait to welcome the class of 2025-26 (more on that later π) As Teachmate AI Ambassador Fiona Baxter shared:
βThank you, this year has given me a great foundational understanding of AI in education, and a framework to shape and share learning with my students.β π
Itβs not just about what teachers have learned – itβs also about how theyβve passed that learning on. Whether itβs exploring ways to make curriculum planning more efficient or supporting personalised learning at scale. Alex Potterton-Crawford, another Teachmate AI Ambassador told us…
βIt’s been great to take part in these sessions and to work with you over the past few months. Even though I am changing roles next year (I’m returning to primary school teaching), I will almost certainly get my own Teachmate licence and encourage my new school to embrace it too because I feel there is a lot of value in your tools.β ππ«
The enthusiasm weβve seen from educators like Alex shows just how impactful the programme has been. And perhaps the most rewarding part? Seeing how many of our 2024-25 class want to re-apply! As Steve Butler put it…
βItβs been fantastic, it really has! Iβm very excited for next year.β π
To all our 2024-25 Ambassadors, thank you! Youβve helped us to shape something really special that we’re going to continue to make even better thanks to your insights and feedback.
