2026 Keller AI Accelerator.

The Thinking Teacher in an AI World

Al Fluency, Inquiry and Professional Judgment.

This is not another AI tools course. It’s a 3-month acceleration programme designed to help teachers think, adapt, and lead in an AI world – during one of the biggest shifts in education.

AI can generate content. But teachers generate thinking. While most existing AI training focuses on tools and prompts, this course addresses the deeper issue: thinking, judgement, and learning design, and answers the real question: What should AI do, and what must remain human?

Each month includes:

• Short video inputs (5–10 min)
•  45-minute in-depth session
•  Practical tools and templates
