Quick one today, and if you teach, it's a good one.
Anthropic just launched Claude for Teachers.
Verified US K-12 educators get free access to premium Claude, plus teaching skills, curriculum tools, and training to actually use it well.
Premium AI, for free, if you're in a classroom. That's rare, so let's make sure you don't miss it.
Now a word from today's sponsor:
The AI Agent You Can Trust
The best assistants don't multitask their attention across a hundred tools. Neither does Catch. It's an AI agent that focuses on one thing — the admin work you'd rather not touch — and does it exceptionally well.
Scheduling, flights, restaurants, follow-ups, vendors, clients. You hand it over; Catch handles the back-and-forth and comes back with it done.
No context-switching. No dropped balls. Just your admin, quietly cleared — so your focus stays on the work only you can do.
Meet the agent built for admin, and it'll be ready to work before your next meeting.
Get started at catchagent.ai — and give your attention back to what matters.
Okay, who this is for and how to get it.
If you're a verified K-12 teacher in the US, you qualify. Go to Claude's site, find Claude for Teachers, and verify your educator status. That's the whole gate.
What you get once you're in:
- Premium Claude, the good models, at no cost
- Teaching skills built for lesson planning, feedback, and materials
- Connectors that tie into your curriculum standards
A few ways teachers are already using it:
- "Turn this standard into a week of lesson plans with activities and a quick assessment."
- "Give me three ways to explain [concept] to students who are struggling."
- "Draft parent-update emails for these five students from my notes."
- "Build a rubric for this assignment, plus a student-friendly version."
The planning, the endless materials, the drafting. That's exactly what it takes off your plate, so your hours go back to the actual teaching.
Now, if you're not a teacher, don't feel left out. A nugget for you too.
You don't need a special program to get a lot of Claude for free. The free plan already gives you the default model, memory, projects, and artifacts. Most of the setups I send you run on it. You only pay when you want the heaviest models or heavy daily use.
So whether you got the teacher deal or you're on the free plan, the move is the same.
Learn to use what you've got, deeply.
That's what Claude Mastery is. The full system for getting a team's worth of work out of Claude, free plan or paid.
Step by step, no tech background needed.
Quick one.
