Education

AI training for teachers and college faculty in Indiana.

AI Engines runs hands-on AI training for K-12 teachers and college faculty in Indiana, onsite across North and Central Indiana or live online. Sessions start with FERPA, your AI policy and academic integrity, then move to hands-on practice in the tool your school provides, such as Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Gemini, or one we help you choose. Each educator leaves with a small AI helper for a task they repeat. Brand new to AI? That's the normal starting point.

Who this is for

What a session builds

Everyone leaves with a small AI helper for one task they repeat. Brand new to AI? That's the normal starting point. We train on the tool you already use, such as Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Gemini, or help you choose one that fits your work and your rules.

Prompt practice uses the CRAFT prompt framework.

Student privacy and academic integrity first

Regulations that already apply to your work

FERPA. State student privacy laws. District AI-use policy. Institutional academic integrity standards.

We do not set this floor. We help you recognize it and design around it. Read our full AI disclaimer.

This is general guidance, not legal advice.

The HUMAN-HEART framework for faculty

HUMAN-HEART is a separate custom engagement, not part of the AI Foundations workshop, as described on the about page.

HEART lens: Education

Academic integrity. Learning outcome preservation. AI that reinforces what students are meant to demonstrate, never replaces it.

AI Engines HUMAN/HEART educator quick reference: Governance first, then the five HUMAN modes for what the learner stays responsible for, then the five HEART steps that make it visible in teaching and assessment.

Educator quick reference

How HUMAN and HEART work together

A clear path from AI rules to visible learning.

1. Governance: what do policy, privacy, and access allow?

Rules apply throughout. Check AI literacy before assigning a HUMAN mode.

2. HUMAN: what must the learner remain responsible for?

  • Hone: Work independently
  • Use: Direct AI as intern
  • Mediate: Check and correct
  • Align: Justify within rules
  • Navigate: Govern the workflow

Choose the mode that fits the outcome. HUMAN is a set of choices, not a ladder.

3. HEART: how will teaching and assessment reveal that responsibility?

  1. Highlight the outcome
  2. Examine AI vulnerability
  3. Assign the HUMAN mode
  4. Refocus assessment design
  5. Test integrity + transference

At HEART's A step, select a HUMAN mode; then look for reasoning, judgment, and transference.

Goal: demonstrated human capability, judgment, and accountability.

The HUMAN-HEART framework explains governance, the five HUMAN modes, and the five HEART steps.

How this fits with free courses

Free state and university courses are a good first step. Private training works on your own lessons, in the tool your school provides or one we help you choose.

Who teaches

Mike Jones leads every session. In his prior position at IWU, he onboarded 250+ faculty and staff to AI. James Weaver joins as co-trainer for groups of 13 or more. We've led an AI training session for Purdue Fort Wayne's instructional design team and faculty. AI Engines has trained K-8 teachers at Mother Theodore Catholic Academies.

Questions

What's the best AI training for teachers and college faculty in Indiana?
Look for training that starts with student privacy and academic integrity, works on your own lessons, welcomes beginners, uses the tool your school provides or helps you choose one, and ends with a small AI helper for a task you repeat. AI Engines runs hands-on sessions for K-12 teachers and college faculty in Indiana, onsite across North and Central Indiana or live online. Sessions use Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini or another tool. Mike Jones leads every session.
Is it safe to put student information into Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, and others?
Not in the free consumer versions. Keep names, grades and other identifying details out unless your district has an approved tool and agreement that allows it, and follow FERPA and your local AI policy. In our training, nothing student-specific goes into public AI tools, and we teach the regulatory floor before we teach the tools.
Will PD funds cover this?
Check with your PD coordinator first. Coverage depends on each district's rules. We're not on district pre-approved PD provider lists yet. What we can do: send you an itemized invoice and a detailed program description that maps to common PD outcome categories, so your coordinator has everything they need to evaluate the request.
What kind of AI training actually helps teachers?
Hands-on time on your own lessons, rubrics and assessments, with honest talk about privacy and academic integrity. Teachers should leave with something they will use the next week.
Our school district needs AI professional development for teachers. Who can run it?
AI Engines runs AI professional development for teachers and staff, onsite in your buildings across North and Central Indiana or live online. We start with FERPA, state student privacy law and your district's AI policy, then train hands-on in the tool your district provides, or help you choose one that fits. Each session serves 2 to 20 people, and Mike Jones leads every one. Districts can book multiple or recurring sessions, and Mike shapes the offering to the district's needs. We send an itemized invoice and a program description. Planning district guardrails first? See AI governance training.
Do I need any AI background?
No. We assume zero prior experience and scaffold from first principles.
