OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT for Teachers.
ChatGPT for Teachers is free through June 2027 for verified US K–12 educators.
To get started, teachers just have to verify their educator status through SheerID.
OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT for Teachers, a version of ChatGPT made especially for school educators and leaders. It is designed to help teachers save time, plan lessons, and safely explore how AI can support learning. This service is free for verified K–12 teachers and school staff in the United States until June 2027.
SurveyChatGPT for Teachers offers a secure workspace where educators can work with classroom materials and student information. “ChatGPT for Teachers brings the most helpful tools in ChatGPT—like unlimited messages with GPT‑5.1 Auto, search, file uploads, connectors, and image generation—into a workspace where teachers can securely work with classroom materials and student information, collaborate with colleagues, and learn from other educators,” OpenAI explains in a blogpost.

It’s important to note that content shared in the workspace is not used to train OpenAI’s models by default. Additionally, teachers can provide ChatGPT with details such as the grade they teach, their curriculum, and their preferred response format. This helps the AI give answers and lesson ideas that better match their classroom needs and teaching style.
ChatGPT for Teachers also connects with tools that many schools already use. Educators can bring in lesson plans and files from Google Drive or Microsoft 365, and they can create presentations using Canva directly inside ChatGPT.
Inside the workspace, teachers can see examples and prompts used by other educators, giving them ready-made ideas for lessons, activities, and classroom support. They can also collaborate with colleagues, co-planning lessons, creating shared templates, and building custom GPTs that match their school or district’s needs.

For now, ChatGPT for Teachers is free through June 2027 for verified US K–12 educators. OpenAI notes that pricing may change after that date but says it aims to keep the service affordable and will give advance notice of any changes.
To get started, teachers just have to verify their educator status through SheerID. Once verified, they can create a workspace to use on their own or invite other teachers in their school or district.
