AI Training for Teachers at Nawa Jyoti English Boarding School

Would you say yes to a teaching opportunity in a city you had never visited?

I was pursuing my master’s and building my career, with most of my work based in Kathmandu, when an invitation came to conduct AI training for teachers in Butwal. I said yes. The chance to work with educators made the journey worth taking.

That invitation led to my first visit to Butwal and an AI for Educators program at Nawa Jyoti English Boarding School.

Around 40 educators, ready to explore

What stayed with me most was the energy in the room. Around 40 educators were asking questions, trying different approaches, and considering how AI could fit into their classrooms and everyday lives.

I was impressed by their willingness to participate. The session was an opportunity to explore possibilities together, rather than simply listen to a presentation about new technology.

It reminded me of something simple: curiosity does not have an age limit. Being willing to ask a question and try something unfamiliar is a valuable starting point for learning any new tool.

Why AI literacy for teachers matters

We often talk about helping students learn AI. Teachers deserve the same attention because they make decisions about learning every day: how to explain a difficult idea, prepare a lesson, or make an activity more engaging.

AI can support parts of that work, whether through drafting a lesson plan, suggesting learning activities, or offering another way to explain a topic. The teacher still needs to decide what is accurate, age-appropriate, and useful for the class.

That is what makes educator training meaningful to me. Something useful learned by one teacher can be adapted and shared with many students. The value of a session may extend beyond the people attending it.

Start with one useful classroom task

For educators beginning to explore AI, my suggestion is to start small. Choose one familiar topic and ask for an explanation suited to a particular class level. Review the answer, check the facts, and adapt it using your own knowledge of the students.

This makes it easier to judge whether the tool is helping. Avoid sharing identifiable student information, and treat the output as material to review rather than a finished lesson.

My AI prompts and learning resources offer starting points for anyone who wants to continue practising.

I left Butwal encouraged by the educators I had met. This visit was another step in my work to make AI practical and accessible in education.
