Anthropic on Tuesday launched a free version of its chatbot geared specifically towards teachers, as a growing number of educators utilize artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom.

In a release, the company said its Claude for Teachers platform will provide K-12 teachers in the U.S. access to a library of teaching skills and a direct connection to evidence-based curricula mapped to academic standards in all 50 states.

Teachers who use the new platform will receive AI assistance on generating math problems for practice and tests, creating interactive activities, lessons and “high-quality” math diagrams and turning lesson materials into “classroom-ready designs and interactive learning experiences,” according to Anthropic.

Users can also receive insights about their classes, assignments and student progress, along with “personalized instructional feedback grounded in real classroom talk.”

If teachers sign up for Claude for Teachers by June 30, 2027, they will receive a full year of access. The company noted a specific version of Claude for schools and districts is coming soon.

“Teachers have been experimenting with AI for a while. But they told us they wanted something curriculum-aligned, evidence-based, and able to work in the background while they focus on their students,” Drew Bent, Anthropic’s education lead, wrote Tuesday on social platform X.

During the 2024-25 school year, 6 in 10 teachers reported using an AI tool for work, according to a Gallup survey released in June 2025. Just under one-third of teachers said they used such tools weekly, with regular AI users estimating they saved nearly six hours per week on average.

Research from the Center for Democracy and Technology released in October 2025 found that half of students said using AI in class makes them feel less connected to their teacher, while seven in 10 teachers expressed concern about the technology weakening important skills their students need to learn.

“As many hype up the possibilities for AI to transform education, we cannot let the negative impact on students get lost in the shuffle,” said Elizabeth Laird, the director of the Equity in Civic Technology Project at the center. “Our research shows AI use in schools comes with real risks, like large-scale data breaches, tech-fueled sexual harassment and bullying, and treating students unfairly.”
