Anthropic Roll Outs Global AI Training Program for Teachers

Anthropic has partnered with Teach For All to roll out a global AI training initiative.

This is designed to help educators in 63 countries build practical AI fluency and create classroom-ready tools using Claude. The collaboration, delivered through the AI Literacy & Creator Collective (LCC), is expected to reach more than 100,000 teachers and alumni across Teach For All’s network, which serves more than 1.5 million students worldwide.

The initiative arrives at a moment when schools and education systems are increasingly confronting the question of how AI should be introduced in classrooms—not only as a tool students must learn to use responsibly, but also as a potential driver of curriculum design, teacher workload reduction, and more individualized learning. Supporters argue the partnership could help reduce gaps between well-resourced and under-resourced schools by giving teachers access to advanced tools and training typically concentrated in wealthier districts.

Skeptics, however, caution that AI programs can widen inequities if schools lack reliable internet, devices, or teacher time, and if training focuses more on experimentation than on sustainable implementation. The Anthropic–Teach For All partnership aims to address these risks by placing educators at the center of development and focusing on use cases driven by classroom realities.

Teach For All’s footprint and mission

Teach For All is a global network of independent, locally led organizations working to expand educational opportunity, building on the model established by Teach For America. Over the last 15 years, the network has grown into one of the world’s largest communities of educators working in under-resourced schools, with member organizations including Teach For India, Enseña Chile, and Teach For Nigeria.

Because these organizations operate in very different education environments—from national school systems to regional programs—one implication of the new partnership is that teachers will be testing AI in a wide range of contexts. That global spread could generate insights about what kinds of AI-enabled education tools work across settings, and which approaches fail when infrastructure or cultural needs differ.

A co-creation model

Anthropic and Teach For All describe the initiative as a shift away from treating educators as end-users of a pre-built product. Instead, teachers are positioned as active contributors who help guide how Claude is used in education and how it evolves over time.

By actively gathering educator feedback, the partnership is positioning itself not only as a training program, but also as a pipeline for product development shaped by real-world teaching environments.

What teachers are building with Claude

One teacher in Liberia, who was new to AI, attended live trainings focused on AI fluency and soon built an interactive climate education curriculum designed specifically for Liberian schools. The project was created using Claude Artifacts, a feature described as enabling interactive outputs such as apps, games, or visualizations that Claude can generate quickly.

In Bangladesh, a teacher working with Grade 6 and 7 students—more than half of whom struggled with basic numeracy—created a gamified math learning app featuring boss battles, a leaderboard, and XP rewards. If effective, this kind of tool could offer a low-cost method for encouraging practice and engagement in classrooms where students may need additional support, though its long-term impact will depend on access to devices and teacher capacity to maintain or update the software.

Anthropic’s broader push

Anthropic said the Teach For All initiative builds on its expanding education and government work globally. The company has cited a national AI education pilot in Iceland, a partnership in Rwanda with the government and ALX to expand AI education across Africa, and involvement in the White House Taskforce on AI Education.

The scale of these efforts suggests Anthropic is positioning itself not just as a general-purpose AI company, but as a major player in formal learning systems.

That move carries both opportunity and scrutiny: partnerships can accelerate access to tools and training, but they also raise questions about long-term dependency on private-sector platforms, data practices, and how AI use is regulated in classrooms.

Microsoft is making a fresh push into education, rolling out free AI tools, training, and premium software for teachers and students.
