The AI Toolkit provides a starting point for exploring the responsible use of AI in K-12 education, offering curated resources on policy, training, and classroom integration.
As AI reshapes education, K-12 districts need clear, actionable policies to ensure its responsible use. The LTC provides curated resources to help leaders align AI practices with district values and goals. This collection supports every phase of policy development—from assessing the current landscape to drafting and implementing effective policies. With the right tools and guidance, districts can move from high-level vision to practical action.
District leaders need clear frameworks and examples to guide thoughtful implementation. The following resources include vetted guidance documents, instructional frameworks, and real-world exemplars to support strategic planning, staff development, and curriculum alignment.
This section provides district leaders with curated resources to help translate broad values into actionable, evidence-based AI policies. Effective implementation depends on the informed, empowered participation of educators and staff. Even the strongest policies will fall short without support for those carrying them out in daily practice. To that end, this section also includes tools to build AI literacy, classroom strategies, and practical templates for responsible implementation.
