Generative AI for School Boards
This workshop provides foundational AI literacy for your school board members
In-person and virtual options available
AI Is in Your Schools — Is Your Board Ready?
Generative AI tools are already in your classrooms — used by students and teachers daily, with or without school board awareness or policy guidance. Board members who lack foundational AI literacy risk making uninformed decisions that leave educators unsupported, students unprotected, and their districts unprepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Designed by Educators for Educators
This workshop is ideal for district leaders and school board members who need a solid, foundational understanding of Generative AI. For the best learning experience, we ask participates to have a laptop.
Focusing On The “Why?” and the “How?”
Understand the real-world impact of GenAI on student learning, academic integrity, and data privacy before diving into tools or policy details. We ground the conversation in outcomes your board already cares to build urgency and buy-in.
Experiential, and Informational
Experience with a real AI tool in an intentional manner demystifies the technology far faster than a slide deck, turning abstract concepts into concrete understanding.
Connect AI literacy to Governance Responsibilities
Frame AI literacy around the existing board roles: policy oversight, budget decisions, and community trust. We help them understand how GenAI intersects with equity, curriculum, and acceptable use policies, which gives them a clear mandate for action.
