AI for education

We help schools and education providers use AI in teaching and preparation so that teachers gain time and students think for themselves.

What schools are dealing with today

Five topics and where AI comes in.

Homework and independent work

AI completes a lot of homework in seconds. New task formats make independent thinking visible.

Preparing lessons

AI drafts tasks at several levels from your material. The teacher checks and adapts them.

Feedback and grading

AI drafts feedback on student texts. The teacher always gives the grade.

Protecting student data

Names, grades and photos do not belong in AI tools. Clear rules show what is allowed.

New subject in Hesse

From 2027/2028, “AI and the Digital World” will be taught in grade 5. Teachers need AI literacy in the classroom too.

Your challenge is not on the list?

Anyone using AI takes measures for the AI literacy of their staff. This also applies to schools.

Frequently asked questions

Where do we start?

With the accredited AI training for your teaching staff. Afterwards you know where AI helps in lessons and which rules your school needs.

What does lindenbrook offer schools?

Four formats: two teacher training courses accredited by the Hessian Teacher Academy, AI training for teachers and Feedback and grading with AI, plus an AI project day for students from Year 8 and an AI parents’ evening. Each format can be booked on its own or as a programme for the whole school, on site or online. For administration and sensitive data, we also develop custom AI applications.

Can this be funded through Erasmus+?

For schools in Germany, usually not. Erasmus+ funds training abroad, not in your own country. Organisations from other countries can attend our English-language course near Frankfurt through Erasmus+. If you are planning a European partnership, you can include us as your partner for AI. We are registered for Erasmus+.

How can schools use AI sensibly?

With trained teachers, clear rules and students who check AI results critically. lindenbrook supports schools with accredited training for teachers, an AI project day for students and a parents’ evening. On request, we also draft your school’s AI rules.

Is there accredited AI training for teachers in Hesse?

Yes. Two lindenbrook training courses are accredited by the Hessian Teacher Academy: the AI training for teachers (offer number 02618351) and “Feedback and grading with AI” (offer number 02618473). Both last four hours, are designed for up to 30 participants per session and take place on site or online. Each participant receives a certificate of attendance for 0.5 training days.

What does the new compulsory subject “AI and the Digital World” mean for schools in Hesse?

Hesse is introducing the subject in grade 5 from the 2027/2028 school year, and in grade 6 from 2028/2029. Teachers will therefore need AI literacy not only for their own work but for their lessons too. lindenbrook’s two accredited training courses start there. What is known about the subject so far is in the guide AI in schools in Hesse.

What do students learn in the AI course?

On the project day from Year 8, they learn in four parts how AI produces answers, how to ask good questions, how to check sources and images and what counts as their own work. They do not need their own accounts. For adults, the course runs over three evenings of 90 minutes each.

Is there a parents’ evening on AI?

Yes. The parents’ evening lasts 90 minutes and covers how children use AI, what the risks are, which rules help and how parents can support their children. It can be booked together with the course or on its own, on site or online.

Does our school have to train teachers in AI?

Under Article 4 of the AI Act, anyone using AI must take measures that support the development of AI literacy among their own staff and of everyone using AI on their behalf. This also applies to schools and education providers. No specific course is required; training is an obvious one.

How does this fit with the training offered by the Hessian Teacher Academy?

It complements it. The Teacher Academy and the media centres offer the basics and an introduction to the state’s AI tool in the school portal. The lindenbrook training works with your teaching staff’s own material and with task formats that make independent work visible. On top of that come shared rules for your school. It does not replace the certificate of competence for the state tool. The training is accredited by the Hessian Teacher Academy (Hessian Teacher Academy).

How is student data protected?

Names, grades, photos and other personal data of students do not belong in AI tools. In the training, we clarify what is allowed under the State of Hesse’s guidance. In the course, learners work without their own accounts and do not enter any personal data.

Can AI grade students’ work?

The teacher always gives the grade. AI can draft feedback, but it should not assess. AI that assesses learning outcomes or decides on admissions counts as high-risk under the AI Act.

Do you offer AI training in the Rhine-Main region?

Yes. lindenbrook is based in Oberursel in the Taunus and comes to schools, universities and adult education centres in Frankfurt am Main, Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt, Offenbach, Hanau and Bad Homburg. Outside the region, training and courses take place on site by arrangement or online.

Who is this for?

For schools, vocational schools, universities, adult education centres, academies and further education providers. lindenbrook works across Germany and is based in Oberursel near Frankfurt am Main.
