Anthropic has launched Claude for Teachers, providing verified K-12 educators in the U.S. with free access to premium Claude capabilities, a library of teaching skills, and direct connections to evidence-based curricula aligned with academic standards across all 50 states. The initiative aims to support educators by streamlining lesson planning and offering tools to differentiate instruction for diverse learners. The program is designed to help teachers implement best practices without sacrificing time with students. Source: anthropic

Claude for Teachers connects to Learning Commons, granting access to academic standards and curricular resources like OpenSciEd and IM v.360 from Illustrative Mathematics. Educators can now integrate Claude across an ecosystem of K-12 tools, including ASSISTments, Brisk Teaching, Canva Education, and others. This integration allows teachers to generate standards-aligned materials, create interactive lessons, and design classroom-ready resources efficiently. Source: anthropic

The initiative also includes Claude Code and Cowork, enabling the model to carry work forward autonomously. Teachers can use these features to analyze class data, schedule repeated tasks, and generate personalized student materials. The program is designed for educators only, with strict privacy protections and no use of teacher or student data for model training. Source: anthropic
