Practical AI for the people who run schools.
A year of hands-on AI training for district and school office teams. One course a month in the Google Workspace tools you already use, an instructor who reviews your work, and a cohort of people who do the job you do.
Your route through the year.
Most AI training for schools is about lesson plans. Field Trip is for the people who keep the district running: the inbox, the spreadsheets, the reports, the forms, the follow-ups.
A new course arrives every month. Each one follows the same four steps.
Watch
A short training video on the month’s topic.
Practice
Activities built on real office tasks, using sample data, plus recommended reading if you want to go deeper.
Check
A quick interactive skill check to make sure it stuck.
Send your trip report
Apply the skill to your own work and post it in your private channel. The instructor reviews every one and replies with feedback.
Everyone joins a dedicated Slack workspace with a private channel for questions to the instructor, a section for each course, and a group chat with the rest of the cohort. A registrar in one district can see how a registrar in another solved the same problem.
Once a quarter the cohort meets live to review what was covered, catch up if you fell behind, and bring questions.
Office teams handle the district’s most sensitive records. Before anything else, you’ll learn what you can and can’t share with AI tools and how to keep student and staff information out of places it shouldn’t go. Every activity uses sample data, never real records.
Lead instructor
Alex is the AI lead at Standard Education. Before joining, he was senior adviser for AI and health information systems at Sightsavers, where he helped build Amplify, an AI skills course with the World Health Organization for ministry of health program leaders in seven countries. Like Field Trip, it skips the lectures in favor of applied work on real problems and one-on-one feedback. An epidemiologist by training, Alex has spent more than 20 years building data systems.
Supporting instructor
TJ is the founder and CEO of Standard Education, which builds student data and screening tools for school districts. He runs a small, fully remote company where AI is part of the daily work across sales, operations, and product.
Supporting instructor
Jason is head of product at Standard Education. He leads onboarding for new districts and builds custom dashboards with district office teams, so he knows the exports, spreadsheets, and reports you work with every day.
Sample topics. The curriculum will adjust based on what the cohort needs.

Teachers are welcome, but the activities are built around office work: email, spreadsheets, reports, forms, and communications. If most of your day happens at a desk keeping things moving, it’s for you.
No. Field Trip uses Google Workspace and the Gemini features available in your district’s account. What’s turned on depends on how your district has set up Workspace, so if Gemini isn’t showing up for you, check with your tech team.
No. Course activities use sample data. Your trip reports apply the skills to your own work, following the privacy rules covered in month one.
Plan on a few hours a month: the video, the practice activities, and one trip report.
Every course stays available for your full year, and the quarterly live session is built for catching up.
The founding cohort starts in February 2027. Space is limited so the instructor can give real feedback to everyone. When it fills, enrollment pauses until the next cohort.
