Practical Prompt Engineering and Generative AI for Educators

  • Duration: 6 training days
  • Target group: Teachers, trainers, school leaders, educational advisors, adult educators
  • Language: English
  • Locations: Larissa, Rhodes (Greece)
  • Funding: Erasmus+ KA1
  • Price (course fees): 480 euros
  • Name of the course provider: Open Up Hellenic Association of Innovation
  • OID: E10262009

The course is built around real-life classroom use cases and intensive practice.

  • Demonstrations of prompt patterns and techniques
  • Individual and group prompt design labs
  • Peer testing: “I use your prompt, you use mine”
  • Case-based discussions on ethics and limitations
  • Creation of a reusable “Prompt Library” for each participant

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain what prompt engineering is and why it matters in education
  • Use a variety of prompt structures (roles, constraints, examples, iterations)
  • Design prompts for lesson planning, content adaptation and assessment
  • Create inclusive prompts that support diverse learners and SEN
  • Identify and mitigate typical AI issues (hallucinations, bias, over-reliance)
  • Build a personal “prompt toolkit” aligned with their subject and age group
  • Establish guidelines for transparent, ethical AI use with students

Day 1 – Introduction to generative AI and prompts

  • Welcome, introductions and sharing expectations
  • What generative AI can and cannot do for education
  • Basic prompt structures: from simple questions to clear instructions
  • Hands-on: first prompt trials and quick wins
  • Reflection: mapping personal needs and use cases

Day 2 – Designing classroom-focused prompts

  • Prompts for lesson plans, learning objectives and scaffolding
  • Adapting texts to different CEFR levels, ages and learning profiles
  • Prompt patterns for creating quizzes, rubrics and feedback comments
  • Group work: designing prompts for participants’ own subjects
  • Peer test and improve: “make my prompt better”

Day 3 – Advanced prompt techniques and workflows

  • Using roles, step-by-step reasoning and examples in prompts
  • Building multi-step prompt sequences and templates
  • Creating prompts for project-based and inquiry-based learning
  • Hands-on: designing a “prompt workflow” for a full lesson or unit
  • Discussion: efficiency vs. pedagogical depth

Day 4 – Inclusion, SEN and multilingual classrooms

  • Prompting for inclusion: supporting SEN and neurodiverse learners
  • Language support: translation, simplification, vocabulary building
  • Adapting instructions and tasks for mixed-ability groups
  • Group challenge: redesign a traditional task with inclusive prompts
  • Reflection: risks of dependency and how to avoid them

Day 5 – Ethics, policies and classroom implementation

  • Transparency, digital well-being and academic integrity
  • Co-creating classroom agreements for AI use with students
  • Drafting simple school or department guidelines
  • Finalisation of personal “Prompt Library” and implementation plan
  • Sharing best practices and promising scenarios

Day 6 – Consolidation and future collaboration

  • Light recap: live “prompt challenge” and showcase
  • Clinic session: solve remaining prompt problems together
  • Networking: exploring Erasmus+ partnerships around AI and digital innovation
  • Course evaluation and individual feedback
  • Certificates, closing circle and optional cultural activity
