AI That Saves Time While Strengthening Teaching Practice

TeachingHOW2s today announced an expansion of its AI Assistant, extending support for educators across lesson planning, teaching, learning and professional development. The expanded Assistant helps educators plan lessons, generate classroom resources, and think through professional development needs — while remaining grounded in evidence-informed teaching practice. It is designed to support the real questions educators face in day-to-day teaching, rather than offering generic outputs.

Unlike standalone AI lesson-planning tools, the TeachingHOW2s Assistant is embedded within a wider professional learning platform. This means AI support sits alongside pedagogically grounded teaching practice, reflective tools and collaborative professional learning — helping educators save time while strengthening teaching quality.

Educators using the expanded Assistant can:

• Create lesson plans aligned with clear teaching intentions

• Generate practical classroom resources that support learning goals

• Explore teaching guidance tailored to different learning contexts

• Plan professional development activities that connect individual needs with wider organisational priorities

• Inform coaching, observation, and professional development activity with context-aware teaching improvement guidance

Rather than positioning AI as a replacement for professional judgement, TeachingHOW2s has focused on using AI to support decision-making and reduce workload, while keeping educators firmly in control.

“This isn’t about automating teaching,” said Ian Harris, CEO of TeachingHOW2s. ​“It’s about giving educators practical support that fits naturally into how they already plan, teach and reflect — without asking them to become AI experts or second-guess the output.”

The expanded AI Assistant supports educators across further education, higher education, training providers and workplace learning environments. It is suitable for teachers at all career stages and is designed to integrate with existing teaching and professional development practices.

The expanded AI Assistant is currently available in beta to all TeachingHOW2s subscribers.
