Direct answer: Claude for Teachers is a separate Anthropic product for U.S. K-12 schools and districts, announced August 28, 2026. Claude for Education is still the campus / higher-ed program. A .edu university login does not automatically mean a public-school teacher is on Teachers, and a district admin should not assume the Education sales form is the K-12 door.
The split
| Claude for Education | Claude for Teachers | |
|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Colleges and universities | U.S. K-12 schools and districts | Announced / expanded | Campus program, ongoing | August 28, 2026 product announcement |
| How access usually starts | Institution signs; users use .edu | School or district enrollment, not a personal Pro coupon |
| What to read first | Campus guide | Anthropic product announcements / claude.com education solutions |

What this page is not
It is not a student-discount hack and not a claim that Teachers includes Fable or Claude Code at Max volumes. Model and limit entitlements on education SKUs change; treat plan pricing and Code limits as the live consumer/dev rules unless the district contract says otherwise.
