4. AI Policy: AI Readiness & Literacy

Empower educators

The future of learning is AI-literate. Districts leading the way are investing in both educator capacity and student fluency. AI literacy isn’t just a tech skill; it’s an equity imperative.

  • Provide PD for all staff on responsible AI use, benefits, and risks (we can help)
  • Establish ongoing training cycles to build educator confidence and skills

Integrate AI into curriculum:

  • Embed AI literacy into curriculum, particularly in middle and high school courses
  • Align lessons to standards like ISTE and AI4K12 frameworks

Establish shared language and expectations:

  • Create a district-wide AI vocabulary for consistent communication
  • Set clear usage guidelines for both students and educators

Engage families and communities:

  • Offer opt-in/opt-out options and transparent FAQ resources
  • Communicate AI’s role in learning and safety measures

MagicSchool readiness tools:
