Infographic titled “The 6 Types of Teacher Reactions to AI : Which one are you? And which one do you want to be?” Two rows of three cartoon panels, each showing a teacher profile with a speech bubble, a short description, and a suggested next step. 1. The Skeptic: Gray-bearded teacher says “It’s just hype. Nothing beats a real teacher.” Resistant, values pedagogy, worries about ethics and data. Next step: Try AI once to summarise a pupil’s work. 2. The Secret User: Dark-haired teacher whispers “I don’t tell anyone I use ChatGPT….” Curious but cautious; deletes evidence of AI use. Next step: Share one AI-time-saver with a colleague. 3. The Power Prompter: Woman raises a finger: “I’ve got a prompt for everything!” Creative, efficient, maybe addicted. Next step: Build a prompt library for the department. 4. The Copy-Paster: Teacher holding a worksheet: “I just ask it to write a worksheet. Done.” Time-starved, uses AI shortcuts without quality checks. Next step: Critically review content… ask “Would I teach this?” 5. The Ethical Warrior: Teacher with tablet says “We can’t use this until we talk about safety and bias.” Values justice and safeguarding. Next step: Help create policy and model ethical AI use. 6. The Curious but Cautious: Blonde teacher: “I can see the potential… but where do I start?” Overwhelmed beginner. Next step: Ask AI to create three vocab games. Overall message: teachers vary from skeptics to power users; tailored support and next steps foster responsible AI adoption :)
