Anthropic and Teach For All have launched the AI Literacy & Creator Collective (AI LCC), a joint initiative to bring AI tools and training to educators across 63 countries. The program aims to enable more than 100,000 teachers and alumni in Teach For All’s network—which serves over 1.5 million students—to develop AI fluency and adapt Claude to classroom needs.
Teach For All is a global network of locally led independent organizations, built on an approach pioneered by Teach For America. Over the past 15 years it has grown into one of the largest communities of educators working in under-resourced schools, including partners such as Teach For India, Enseña Chile and Teach For Nigeria.
A collaborative approach
The partnership emphasizes teachers as co-creators rather than passive users of technology. Through the AI LCC, Anthropic provides access to Claude while educators contribute front-line feedback to shape how the system evolves.
Wendy Kopp, CEO of Teach For All, said: “For AI to reach its potential to make education more equitable, teachers need to be the ones shaping how it's used and providing input on how it's designed.” Michael Gilmore, COO of Teach for Australia, added: “The combination of real-world experience from the Teach For All network and technical insights from Anthropic has provided a fabulous learning opportunity. We look forward to continuing participation in 2026.”
Examples of educator-built tools
Early participants have created classroom-facing artifacts. In Liberia, a teacher new to AI attended the AI LCC’s live sessions on AI fluency and within weeks produced an interactive climate-education curriculum for Liberian schools using Claude Artifacts—interactive tools such as apps, games, or visualizations that Claude can generate on the spot.
In Bangladesh, a teacher working with Grade 6 and 7 students—many of whom struggled with basic numeracy—built a gamified math learning app featuring boss battles, a leaderboard, and XP rewards.
Rosina Bastidas, a tech educator at Enseña por Argentina, described her experience: “After working with a few different AI tools, discovering Claude through the community initiative significantly expanded my practice. I've since developed multiple educational artifacts and I'm currently designing digital, interactive workspaces for secondary school students aligned with the curriculum.”
The initiative also supports leadership and cross-organizational learning. Oscar Onuoha, IT Lead at Teach For Nigeria, said the partnership connected them with a community navigating similar technical opportunities and facilitated learning about responsible AI implementation: “We're grateful to Anthropic for their commitment to supporting non-profits as we explore these emerging technologies.”
How the AI Literacy & Creator Collective is organized
The collective runs three connected programs:
- AI Fluency Learning Series: a six-episode live series developed with Anthropic’s education team, covering AI fluency, Claude capabilities, and practical classroom applications. Over 530 educators attended the first series in November 2025.
- Claude Connect: the community’s ongoing learning hub, where more than 1,000 educators from 60+ countries exchange prompts, use cases and discoveries through daily peer-to-peer conversation.
- Claude Lab: an innovation space for educators who want to go further. Claude Lab provides Claude Pro access, monthly office hours with the Anthropic team, and opportunities for participants to directly inform Claude’s product roadmap. The program drew over 200 applications within four days of its announcement.
Context and outlook
This partnership builds on Anthropic’s existing education work worldwide. Examples include a national AI education pilot in Iceland, collaboration with the Rwandan government and ALX to deliver AI learning to hundreds of thousands across Africa, and participation in the White House Taskforce on AI Education in the United States.
As AI changes how knowledge is produced and shared, teachers will play a central role guiding students through this transition. The early projects in Liberia, Bangladesh and Argentina illustrate concrete classroom applications and underscore the initiative’s aim: to ensure educators in every community—not only the most well-resourced—can shape and benefit from AI’s potential.
