Building Teacher Confidence With AI Prompts

Many teachers feel that “prompt engineering” sounds technical, complex, or intimidating. In reality, it is simply about writing clear instructions — something teachers already do every day.

In this episode of Mr F’s AI Classroom, we explore how schools can support teachers to become confident AI prompt users without adding pressure or performance anxiety. Mr F reframes prompting as an extension of professional judgement, explains what confidence actually looks like in practice, and highlights the role of collaboration and shared expertise in building trust.

You will hear:

• Why prompt engineering is not a new skill for teachers
• What confident AI use really looks like in practice
• How collaboration builds confidence without comparison
• Why pressure and performative CPD undermine progress
• How teacher confidence with AI shapes student behaviour

This episode is for teachers and school leaders who want AI use to feel supportive, sustainable, and grounded in everyday practice.
