The AI-Driven Educators Academy (AIDEA) redefines how artificial intelligence (AI) is integrated into European teacher education. Unlike fragmented or generic AI training programs, AIDEA unifies, scales, and operationalizes cutting-edge research from leading Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe projects, ensuring immediate classroom applicability. AI is not just a tool but a catalyst for pedagogical transformation, supporting teaching and learning. AIDEA introduces a modular, research-backed training framework, moving beyond traditional teacher training by structuring AI education across three essential dimensions: Teaching About AI, ensuring educators develop deep AI literacy and ethical awareness; Teaching With AI, equipping teachers with AI-powered skills for formative assessment, adaptive learning, and classroom innovation; and Teaching For AI, preparing students for an AI-driven future through critical thinking and digital competencies.
To this end, these are the specific objectives of the project:
