"Educators can now try ChatGPT for Teachers, a version of ChatGPT specifically designed to meet the needs of teachers, which OpenAI launched on Wednesday. The biggest differences between it and the original ChatGPT are the added education-grade security and compliance measures, admin controls, and the ability to collaborate with other educators."
""Teachers get a secure workspace to adapt materials for their classrooms, get more out of prep time, collaborate with peers, and get comfortable using AI on their own terms," OpenAI wrote in the release. Also: AI agents arrive in US classrooms Despite ongoing debate, AI is increasingly playing a role in education -- students use AI tools for everything from routine homework to projects and studying for finals, while overworked teachers use them to prep lesson plans and handle admin tasks (and sometimes even grade students). AI companies are targeting students and teachers as their next big user base. At the same time, some research indicates that using AI tools can harm critical thinking, which both students and teachers are concerned will impact education long-term."
ChatGPT for Teachers is designed to meet teachers' needs with added education-grade security, compliance measures, admin controls, and collaboration features. The offering provides all standard ChatGPT tools with higher usage limits and integrations such as Study Mode and ChatGPT Edu. The service is free for verified K-12 educators in the United States through June 2027. Educators use AI for homework help, lesson prep, grading, and administrative tasks. Some research warns that AI tool use can harm students' critical thinking. Ziff Davis filed an April 2025 lawsuit alleging OpenAI infringed copyrights during AI training and operation.
