Teach AI Literacy Handbook
This handbook is intended for Scottish teachers to use in Broad General Education in upper primary and secondary school settings. The aim is to support teachers in teaching their learners about GenAI and how to use GenAI tools responsibly and effectively to help them learn.
It focuses mainly on Generative AI; future editions could consider other AI tools, such as intelligent tutoring systems. Specific senior phase qualifications specialising in AI are outside the scope of this document. It’s not intended to explain how teachers could use GenAI tools to reduce their workload.
Judy Robertson developed the curriculum between May 2024 and May 2025, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Edinburgh, particularly the Data Education in Schools team, and with support from representatives from the Scottish Government, Education Scotland, SQA, The Scottish AI Alliance, and The Children’s Parliament. Funding from BRAID/AHRC and RAIUK also supported the work.
