Why AI Literacy Matters
49% of K-12 students are using AI weekly…
66% of leaders say they wouldn’t hire someone without AI skills…
88% of parents believe that knowledge of AI will be crucial in their child’s future education and career…
71% of employers say they’d rather hire a less experienced candidate with AI skills than a more experienced candidate without them.
While it still feels like the Wild West of AI, we can all agree that it’s not going anywhere. AI literacy is a skill that BOTH teachers and students must possess. Students need to be fluent in basic AI literacy skills to navigate the growing presence of AI in daily life.
Educators play a critical role in preparing students for an AI-driven future. This is why it’s important that they first develop the practical skills and knowledge needed to confidently integrate AI into learning and equip students to use it safely, responsibly, and effectively.

INTRODUCING...
The AI Literacy Academy
“Safe and effective integration of AI tools in education depends on AI literate teachers. However, it is not reasonable to assume that teachers will learn how to understand, evaluate, and use AI tools on their own.” - Digital Promise
AI literacy isn’t just about learning new tools…it’s about understanding how, why, and when to use AI in education. The AI Literacy Academy takes a two-pronged approach to equip educators with both the knowledge and practical strategies needed to confidently integrate AI ethically and responsibly into teaching and learning AND support students in building essential AI literacy skills.
First, we focus on the integration of AI in teaching...
And equipping educators with the practical strategies and knowledge to build their own AI literacy. Through hands-on learning, teachers will gain a deep understanding of AI fundamentals, responsible use, ethics, data privacy, and how to use AI to enhance lesson planning, assessment, differentiation, productivity, content creation, and more.
Then, we focus on the integration of AI in learning...
Equipping teachers to seamlessly integrate AI into the classroom to support responsible and ethical AI use by students. Through student-facing AI guidelines, grade level and content area specific lesson examples, co-learning lessons, understanding how students are using AI, and PLC coaching, educators will be ready to help students develop essential AI literacy skills…ensuring they can use AI ethically, responsibly and effectively in an increasingly AI-driven world.
By building AI-literate teachers FIRST, we ensure that students receive the guidance they need to develop critical AI literacy skills for the future.

How it Works
Cohort Format
The AI Literacy Academy is structured as a cohort with a mix of synchronous and asynchronous sessions. This learning format encourages cross-departmental collaboration.
**The format can be customized to in-person or fully asynchronous.
**The format can be customized to in-person or fully asynchronous.
3 Month's
We recommend running the cohort over the course of 3 months and it is designed to be completed in this timeframe. This encourages implementation and keeps momentum going.
**This timeline can be customized to meet your needs.
**This timeline can be customized to meet your needs.
PLC Coaching
Your staff will receive high touch support from a designated AI coach to support effective AI integration and collaboration.
Action Plan
Throughout the cohort, your staff will design and implement a comprehensive action plan on how they're effectively integrating AI into their classroom. This will be a clear guide with objectives and measurement to show impact.
"This wasn't as intimidating as I thought. I honestly avoid AI due to not knowing how to utilize it but playing around with it really helped."

"Loved this training! I have been hesitant to use AI because I do not know much about it. This was such a positive experience and has motivated me to try new resources to enhance what I am already doing with my students."

"I've been struggling to find a way to help my students better understand how to use AI for learning purposes rather than just using it do the work for them. This session gave me so many ideas! I liked the example of using AI to have it pretend to be the author of a book you just read so
you can ask it questions, and then have students fact check the AI to make sure it was accurate on details that they can easily fact check with a simple Google search. I'm looking forward to incorporating something similar into my future lessons."

"This workshop provided valuable insights into the role of AI in education and its impact on students. As I formulate a lesson for my middle school students, I aim to introduce AI in a way that fosters understanding, critical thinking, and responsible usage. Exploring both the benefits—personalized learning and efficiency—and the challenges, including ethical concerns and academic integrity, will help students navigate AI's presence in education."
