Richard Human

I have been a primary and secondary 

teacher and school leader for 25 years

in Britain and Internationally.

I am passionate about developing 

self-efficacy in teachers, students, and 

families.

Self-efficacy is the belief in one’s ability to succeed in achieving an outcome or reaching a goal.

How likely are you to use Claude to help students identify and learn about objects/artefacts during lessons?

Very likely - I'd use it regularly in my lessons

Somewhat likely - I might try it occasionally

Unsure - I need more information

Unlikely - I prefer other teaching methods

Very unlikely - This wouldn't fit my teaching style
