Anthropic Opens Free Claude Access To US K-12 Teachers
Verified teachers get one year of free access, plus curricula tied to state standards set with the teachers' union.
- Nine ed-tech partners integrate, including MagicSchool, Brisk Teaching, Canva Education and TeachFX.
- Detroit Public Schools runs the first pilot, backed by a Gates Foundation partnership.
- Sign-ups close June 30, 2027; teacher data stays FERPA-protected, excluded from model training.
Why it matters: A union writing a free tool's gold standard decides classroom practice before any teacher chooses it.
