Original abstract
<p>Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic today upped the ante in its quest to win the increasingly competitive market for AI in education by debuting <a href="https://claude.com/solutions/teachers"><u>Claude for Teachers</u></a>, a free large language model designed for U.S. K-12 educators.</p><p>Claude for Teachers includes a library of teaching skills and a “direct connection to evidence-based curricula, mapped to academic standards in all 50 states,” the company <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-for-teachers">said</a> in a statement.</p><p>The move by Anthropic is the latest in a series of initiatives by tech giants including <a href="https://openai.com/index/chatgpt-for-teachers/">OpenAI’s ChatGPT for Teachers</a>, <a href="https://elevateforeducators.microsoft.com/">Microsoft Elevate for Educators</a>, and <a href="https://edu.google.com/learning-center/google-ai-educator-series/">Google AI Educator Series</a> to earn market share in an increasingly competitive AI and edtech space.</p><p>“We built Claude for Teachers to close the distance between what the evidence recommends and what a teacher’s week allows,” the Anthropic statement continued.</p><p>Although some educators are skeptical of AI usage in the classroom, particularly in early childhood education, Anthropic cited<a href="https://scale.stanford.edu/research-in-action/understanding-evidence-base-ai-k12-education"> <u>Stanford research</u></a> suggesting that AI tools, when designed and used correctly, can aid teachers and improve student learning.</p><p><strong>Privacy and Security Measures</strong></p><p>Claude for Teachers has access to academic standards in all 50 states, so it can create lessons that are “scaffolded and aligned to teaching standards.” The tool’s library of skills, co-developed with Learning Commons, was piloted with teachers in Prospect Schools in Brooklyn, New York, and other sites. Anthropic said it plans to evaluate Claude for Teachers in the Detroit Public School
