Salwan runs AI workshop for teachers

Salwan Public School’s workshop for primary teachers on “AI in Education: Enhancing Teaching and Learning Practices” fits into a broader pattern in the Salwan network: practical, school-run training that treats AI as a classroom tool rather than a policy debate. A post from the school said the session was aimed at primary teachers and focused on everyday use. Public material from Salwan’s own websites shows the group has already been running similar teacher-development sessions built around hands-on demonstrations, worksheets, classroom engagement and routine planning. ### Why does this workshop matter beyond one school event? Salwan Public School’s May 24 workshop matters because it shows how some schools are packaging AI training for teachers in small, implementable formats. The emphasis, based on the school’s description and related Salwan training pages, is not on abstract debates about whether AI belongs in education, but on how teachers can use tools inside existing lesson routines. (salwanpublicschool.edu.in) UNESCO has been making a similar point in its teacher-development work. The agency said AI training should be embedded in professional development so teachers learn when to use the tools and when not to, while keeping a human-centered approach. ### What does Salwan’s own record show about how it trains teachers on AI? A September 2024 Salwan Public School session titled “Use of AI in Education” was conducted separately for TGTs and PGTs on Sept. 27, 2024, and for PRTs on Sept. 30, 2024, according to the school’s website. (salwanpublicschool.edu.in) The school said teachers explored AI applications in hands-on exercises and used them to understand how technology could simplify administrative tasks and help monitor student progress. (unesco.org) Another Salwan Education Trust capacity-building program for primary teachers, organized by Salwan Public School Rajendra Nagar, listed AI alongside reading and gamification as part of a multi-session training day. That page said 60 primary teachers across Salwan schools attended offline, with other staff joining online, and that one objective was to help teachers create quick worksheets using AI tools and apps. (salwanpublicschool.edu.in) A separate Salwan capacity-building page published in 2026 showed the network continuing to integrate named tools into teacher training. That session cited Gamma AI, Wordwall and Adobe Express in a workshop focused on language teaching. ### What kind of AI use is this likely pointing teachers toward? The clearest public examples from Salwan’s sites point to low-stakes uses: worksheet generation, lesson support, classroom engagement materials and administrative streamlining. (salwanjuniorschool.edu.in) The school’s earlier AI session described personalization, student engagement and efficiency, while the Rajendra Nagar program referred to “interesting and quick worksheets” and active listening activities. (salwanpublicschool.edu.in) The World Economic Forum, citing educators and students, described the same broad direction in a 2025 article: AI in schools is being framed as a way to help teachers work more efficiently while preserving the teacher’s role in mentoring and instruction. ### What does this say about the model schools may copy? The Salwan example suggests a repeatable model: short in-house workshops, teacher-facing demonstrations, and immediate classroom applications. (salwanpublicschool.edu.in) The school’s own archive shows AI sessions embedded inside continuing professional development rather than treated as a one-off technology event. UNESCO’s guidance supports that approach, saying teachers should be empowered to experiment responsibly and that professional development should be continuous and collaborative. (weforum.org) ### What should readers watch next? Salwan Public School’s website and official social channels are likely to provide the next concrete details, including whether the May 24 workshop leads to more subject-specific or grade-specific AI sessions. (salwanpublicschool.edu.in) The school’s archive already shows follow-on reporting after prior training events, including separate posts for AI, digital safety and capacity-building programs across the Salwan network.
