OpenAI has introduced a free version of ChatGPT specifically for U.S. K–12 educators, available until June 2027. This platform offers a secure workspace for teachers to create materials, collaborate, and enhance their teaching with AI tools while ensuring student data protection.

A $23 million initiative, the National Academy of AI Instruction, has been launched by major tech companies including Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic, in collaboration with teachers' unions to train 400,000 K-12 teachers in artificial intelligence over the next five years. This program aims to equip educators with the skills to integrate AI into their teaching while addressing ethical concerns and practical applications of the technology in classrooms.
