TESDA Catalog Lists Google’s AI Educator Series for Teachers

A Philippine skills-training catalog lists Google’s free, self-paced AI Educator Series for teachers, while an education order calls for continued staff training in ethical AI use.

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) lists the course in its online catalog under Information and Communication Technology. It is intended for educators in primary, secondary and higher education.

Sessions last 15 to 45 minutes. The training covers foundational AI concepts, classroom applications and administrative tasks, with Gemini examples. It also addresses critical thinking and responsible AI use.

Google’s first U.S. wave went live May 13, 2026, with more than 20 sessions. The potential audience was 6 million U.S. K-12 and higher-education teachers.

A Feb. 20, 2026, order from the Department of Education (DepEd) calls for continuous professional training and support to help teaching and nonteaching personnel use AI ethically in basic education.
