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 ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ 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! Weโ€™ve 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 ๐Ÿค–โœจ

Weโ€™re proud of whatโ€™s been achieved so far and we can’t wait to welcome the class of 2025-26 (more on that later ๐Ÿ‘€) As Teachmate AI Ambassador Fiona Baxter shared:

โ€œThank 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.โ€ ๐Ÿ“š

Itโ€™s not just about what teachers have learned – itโ€™s also about how theyโ€™ve passed that learning on. Whether itโ€™s exploring ways to make curriculum planning more efficient or supporting personalised learning at scale. Alex Potterton-Crawford, another Teachmate AI Ambassador told us…

โ€œIt’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.โ€ ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿซ

The enthusiasm weโ€™ve 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…

โ€œItโ€™s been fantastic, it really has! Iโ€™m very excited for next year.โ€ ๐Ÿš€

To all our 2024-25 Ambassadors, thank you! Youโ€™ve helped us to shape something really special that we’re going to continue to make even better thanks to your insights and feedback.
