Abu Dhabi, August 11 (WAM) - Alf Education, the world’s leading education technology company based in the UAE, continues to shape the future of AI-powered learning led by teachers through its professional development program. The program aims to empower 2,300 teachers and educators in preparation for the new academic year with the launch of "Alf AI for Teachers" as a key component.

Designed over an entire year, this program goes beyond traditional technology training. It equips teachers with knowledge, tools, and ongoing support to effectively integrate AI into their teaching practices. The program combines professional development with AI capabilities aligned with curricula, enhancing teachers’ ability to plan lessons more efficiently, deliver personalized learning, and improve classroom outcomes.

The program not only prepares teachers for the platform but also provides them with support throughout the educational process, from lesson planning and implementation in classrooms to formative assessment, differentiated instruction strategies, and data-driven decision-making.

The program includes both in-person and virtual training sessions, as well as learning pathways that allow teachers to progress at their own pace through Alf Academy. It also offers specialized support for each subject, career guidance, and ongoing monitoring to ensure effective implementation.

As part of this expansion, Alf for Education has launched the Alf AI for Teachers platform, which includes a range of advanced capabilities, including Toki Studio, Magic Buttons and Generative Apps, aimed at simplifying lesson preparation, adapting educational content, developing assessments, and creating classroom resources that are in line with curricula.

These tools integrated into the Alf for Education ecosystem contribute to enhancing teachers' productivity while preserving their central role and full control over educational decisions.

Jeffrey Alfonso, CEO of Alf for Education, said that the company believes that the future of education depends on empowering teachers rather than replacing them. With this in mind, Alf for Education is committed to enabling teachers to reduce time spent on preparatory and administrative tasks, allowing them to dedicate more time to areas of greater importance, including interacting with students, responding to their educational needs, and delivering high-quality education through a combination of continuous professional development and AI capabilities aligned with curricula.

The expanded program supports teachers in moving away from an approach focused on completing educational content towards more flexible and responsive classroom practices based on data and evidence.

In this context, training links the capabilities of each tool with clear educational goals. The program allows teachers to recognize how to use flexible homework tools to support different learning styles, whether at the whole-class level, in groups, or individually. It also shows how to use real-time analytics and formative assessment tools to monitor student comprehension during lessons, as well as using reports to identify intervention needs, strengthen skills, and enrich learning opportunities.

Through this integrated approach, Alf for Education continues to develop a responsible model for the use of artificial intelligence in education. This places humans at the center of the educational process by combining teachers' expertise and professional judgment with innovative technologies.

This approach embodies the company's vision of harnessing technology, particularly artificial intelligence, as an enabler to provide more personalized, inclusive, and evidence-based learning experiences.
