Learn
Understand the tool, the teaching move, and the evidence behind it.
Explore learning →Students willbe able to.
AI is changing what teachers can do. Critical thinking is still the point.
Critical learning events happen when students show their thinking. SWBAT helps educators learn AI, apply it to real teaching, and build the skills, resources and professional knowledge that make better learning possible.
The question that starts everything
What will students be able to do?
Students will be able to design their learning models, build their own learning tools, construct knowledge, think critically and solve real-life problems.
Technology changes. Tools change. Models change. That question doesn’t.
Practice, not hype
Learn what to do with AI.Then use it.
Practical learning for educators who want better teaching, better judgment, and useful work they can carry forward.
Try
Apply ideas to real planning, assessment, differentiation and classroom work.
Use a resource →Share
Bring the result back to working teachers. Remix what works. Improve what doesn’t.

Thosewho can,teach.
Teachers encode the practice of mastery. High-leverage skills become habits, then mindset—then you teach. We build tools for you when you get there.

Prompt.Context.Play.Know.
Critical teaching—
practical,
evidence-based first.
practical,
evidence-based first.
01Prompting
Prompt
Every learner starts with a question. We teach the craft of asking well, to teachers first, then to their students.
02Context awareness
Context
Tools that know the standards, the learners and the room, so every plan starts from what students actually need.
03Play
Play
Low-stakes making. Build a tool, try it in class, keep what works and share it with the community.
04Agentic knowledge
Know
Agents, wikis and knowledge bases that gather and synthesize the evidence, skills and trends we track, so dedicated teachers keep up at scale. Your work shouldn’t disappear when the lesson ends.
Every onramp starts in the community.

Better AI adoptionstarts with better teaching.
Professional learning should improve educator judgment and student capability, not merely increase tool usage.

S—03 / The evidence chamber
Evidence overenthusiasm.
AI is powerful enough to deserve more than cheerleading. SWBAT looks at what improves expert human practice, what creates dependency, what transfers to independent performance, and what teachers can actually use.

S—04 / Our models
Two models.Made here.
How we share AI with teachers, and the skills we believe carry anyone further.
Model 01For the AI-skeptical
GenAIMindset™
The GenAI Mindset is SWBAT’s model for bringing generative AI into teaching: start from a real task, keep students at the center, keep the teacher in charge, and keep only what is useful this week.
- 01Task first. Start with a job you already do.
- 02Students at the center. If it doesn’t help learners, drop it.
- 03Teacher in charge. AI drafts. You decide.
- 04Useful today. It saves time this week, or it goes.
Model 02Seven skills for now
GrowthSkillset™
The Growth Skillset is SWBAT’s framework of seven learnable skills for a good life and good work in the AI era. The growth mindset, made practical, written the way teachers write objectives: able to.
- 01Clarify Name what matters.
- 02Explore Stay curious, tech included.
- 03Curate Find, filter, keep the best.
- 04Build Make what you need.
- 05Connect Speak up. Show up.
- 06Sustain Guard your energy and body.
- 07Teach Pass it on. Those who can, teach.
S—05 / The community
Teaching shouldn’t bea solo profession.
The community is where learning becomes practice: teachers try ideas, share artifacts, adapt each other’s work, and report what happened.
S—06 / Teach in public
We’re buildingSWBAT in public.
Not a finished edtech product pretending to know the classroom. A learning institution being built with educators, in the open.
