AI use is everywhere. AI literacy is not.
AI for Education Summit
Nov. 7, 2026 | Online | FREE EVENT
A free one-day virtual summit on what AI literacy actually is, and how to build it in your community.
Adoption is close to universal. Understanding is rare.
Adoption happened fast. Understanding did not keep up. Most educators are using these tools without a clear picture of how they work, what they risk, or when not to reach for them. Most students are further ahead in use and further behind in judgment. And most schools are still writing policy for a problem they have not yet defined.
This summit is about defining that gap, and then closing it.
Date: Saturday, Nov. 7th, 2026
Time: 10 am -3 pm ET
Location: Online
Price: $0
Over one day you will get the research on where AI literacy actually stands, a working understanding of the SEE Framework and the knowledge, mindsets, and practices behind it, and honest accounts from practitioners, leaders, and students about what has worked in real buildings and what has not. The afternoon turns the same lens on the GenAI tools already in your district, so you leave able to evaluate what you are being sold.
You will leave with shared language your team can use immediately and a concrete starting point for building AI literacy across your community.
Can’t attend live? On-demand video recordings + resources from all sessions will be available to registrants same day.

AGENDA
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM ET
BLOCK ONE: AI Literacy You Can SEE
10:10am - 11:55am ET
What the Evidence Says
AI literacy is a crowded term with uneven evidence behind it. This session separates what we know from what gets repeated. Where student and educator use actually stands, what current AI literacy efforts are and are not changing, and where the distance between use and understanding is widest.
The SEE Framework
The keynote walks through the SEE Framework: the knowledge, mindsets, and practices that allow individuals to use GenAI safely, ethically, and effectively. Developed and refined over three years of work with schools and education organizations worldwide, SEE gives a community shared language for AI decisions and a concrete set of behaviors to teach, model, and look for.
You will leave knowing what GenAI literacy is, why it cannot wait, and how the three lenses work together in the decisions educators and students face every day.
What AI Literacy Looks Like on the Ground
Join us for a panel of educators, school leaders, and students on what changes when a school takes AI literacy seriously. What they tried, what failed, what they would do differently, and what they are seeing from students right now that is not showing up in the research yet.
BLOCK TWO: What’s Working in AI Literacy
12:10pm - 1:30pm ET
Three sessions, one for each lens of the framework, from people doing the work.
Safe
Protecting students and staff from harm while keeping human judgment in the decision seat. Data privacy, healthy boundaries with AI tools, evaluating risk before acting, and the tools already running in your building that nobody approved.
Ethical
Disclosing AI use transparently, upholding academic and professional integrity, avoiding harmful use, and helping students reason about societal impact rather than memorize a policy.
Effective
What good use actually looks like in practice. Deciding intentionally when GenAI is the right tool, bringing your own thinking to every interaction, prompting and setting context well, and evaluating what comes back before you use it.
BLOCK THREE: Applying AI Literacy to GenAI Edtech
1:40pm - 2:20pm ET
Choose from any two 20-minute sessions from partners building GenAI tools for schools.
The morning asks educators what it takes to use these tools well. This block asks the builders the harder version of the same question: what does it take to build a tool that grows a user’s AI literacy instead of standing in for it?
Each partner shows what they are building, how safety and judgment are designed into the product rather than bolted on afterward, and what they have changed because of what schools told them. Attendees leave better equipped to evaluate any GenAI tool, including the ones presenting.
CLOSING BLOCK: Moonshots
2:20pm - 3:00pm ET
Bold visions from thought leaders on what's possible for AI in education and the future they want to build.
Bring Your Team. Let’s Close the Gap, Together.
