What is AI Literacy? Building a Foundation and Readiness for K-12 Systems

Tuesday 04/28/2026
12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m.


As AI enters the educational field, the challenge is to build a shared, foundational understanding across a K-12 system. This workshop explores the “how” and “why” of AI literacy, offering a space for K-12 systems educators and leaders to assess their readiness to establish a shared vision for AI integration.


Participants will explore what problem they are trying to solve through AI Literacy, ensuring that learner judgment and care remain at the center of the educational journey. Leave with a ready-to-deploy understanding of how AI Literacy applies to your K-12 system in alignment with district priorities and community needs.
