Writing is one of the toughest skills to teach—and one of the most time-intensive for teachers to support. Despite new curricula and endless PD, teachers often struggle to deliver consistent feedback, and students continue to fall behind.

This course changes that. Enhance Writing Instruction with AI: Practice and Pedagogy—available exclusively through SchoolDay Academy and powered by Coursera—equips educators with the knowledge, mindset, and hands-on skills to use AI as a trusted classroom partner.

While Scribo AI is the featured tool, the strategies extend beyond any single platform—ensuring teachers can apply what they learn in any classroom, with any curriculum.

Why This Course Matters

AI isn’t here to replace teachers—it’s here to amplify their impact. Teachers learn how to:

• Deliver real-time, personalized feedback.
  
• Upload their own rubrics and integrate AI into existing curricula.
  
• Differentiate instruction for English Learners, struggling writers, and gifted students.
  
• Support any writing genre—argumentative essays, narratives, reflections, or creative work.
  
• Apply strategies in grades 4–12+, making it flexible and scalable across secondary schools.
  
  

For superintendents, this means sustainable PD that works across classrooms, subjects, and grade levels—without disrupting teacher autonomy or district initiatives.

What Teachers Will Learn (15 Modules)

Through a comprehensive, flexible 15-module structure, teachers will:

• Understand the Cognitive Demands of Writing – explore why writing overloads students and teachers, and how AI lightens the load.
  
• Use AI to Support the Writing Process – provide exemplars, scaffolds, and feedback at every stage of writing.
  
• Connect AI to Proven Pedagogy – apply ZPD, gradual release, and Cognitive Load Theory in daily instruction.
  
• Shift Mindsets Around AI – see AI as a partner, not a threat, to effective teaching.
  
• Champion Student Voice & Equity – use real-time, adaptive feedback to empower every learner.
  
• Leverage Data Dashboards – track writing progress and tailor instruction with evidence.
  
• Design AI-Supported Lessons – create writing tasks that promote revision, reflection, and growth.

Beyond Scribo, teachers leave with transferable strategies to make writing instruction more effective, equitable, and sustainable—no matter the tool or platform.
