On the same day that OpenAI launched Education for Countries, a global initiative to bring AI tools into national education systems, Anthropic announced a partnership with Teach For All to provide AI tools and training to educators in 63 countries, reaching over 100,000 teachers and 1.5 million students worldwide.
Teach For All, modeled on Teach For America, is a global network of independent organizations focused on expanding educational opportunity. The network spans entities like Teach For India, Enseña Chile, and Teach For Nigeria. While each organization is locally led, they share resources, knowledge, and collaborative learning frameworks.
Teachers as Co-Creators
A distinctive aspect of the initiative is its emphasis on educators as co-designers of AI tools rather than passive users. Teachers provide feedback and develop “Claude Artifacts,” interactive AI-powered applications such as lesson plans, games, and simulations. Wendy Kopp, CEO of Teach For All, said the partnership positions teachers to shape AI’s role in education and ensure equitable learning opportunities.
Examples of outputs include a climate education curriculum developed in Liberia and a gamified math app for Grade 6–7 students in Bangladesh. In Argentina, educators are designing digital interactive workspaces aligned with local curricula. The program aims to scale such innovations across diverse learning contexts while informing Anthropic’s product roadmap.
Program Structure
The AI LCC operates through three interconnected programs:
- AI Fluency Learning Series: Six live sessions covering AI fluency, Claude’s capabilities, and classroom applications, attended by more than 530 educators in the first cohort.
- Claude Connect: An ongoing online hub connecting over 1,000 educators across 60+ countries for peer-to-peer learning, prompt sharing, and collaboration.
- Claude Lab: An innovation space for advanced users with Claude Pro access, monthly office hours with Anthropic staff, and opportunities to shape the product roadmap.
This global initiative builds on Anthropic’s prior AI education efforts, including national pilots in Iceland, partnerships in Rwanda to expand AI access, and participation in U.S.-focused AI education programs through the White House Taskforce on AI Education.
