About AI Training Work

AI training is the human side of building artificial intelligence. Educators and other specialists create examples, assess model responses, and provide feedback that helps AI produce more accurate, useful, and responsible results.

In this role, your professional judgment will help AI systems better understand real educational work, from lesson planning and assessment to differentiation, accommodations, and student feedback.

• Contribute to cutting-edge generative AI development
• Apply practical education expertise to realistic training tasks
• Work remotely with flexible, project-based responsibilities

The Role

OpenTrain is seeking experienced educators to design task scenarios and evaluate AI-generated educational outputs. You will translate your teaching, assessment, and instructional-design workflows into structured training data while considering accuracy, standards alignment, grade-level appropriateness, and pedagogical soundness.
