Unlike many AI courses for educators, this one isn’t tied to a specific product or tool. It’s platform-agnostic, built specifically for K-12, and focused on practical strategies you can apply across any technology. This course goes beyond handing you prompts or toolkits. Instead, it equips you with the mindset to evaluate AI thoughtfully, apply it responsibly, and adapt as new tools emerge. It’s the difference between being given a fish and being taught how to fish. You’ll leave with the ability to navigate AI thoughtfully and independently, no matter what new tools emerge.

AI Literacy in Education

The Essential Skills Educators Need for the 2025-26 School Year

Building AI literacy is imperative for educators as the 2025–26 school year approaches. The question isn’t if educators are using AI, but how educators will use it safely, effectively, and in service of real student outcomes (not just shortcuts).

Though AI use among educators is growing exponentially, 69% of US educators say they’re lacking meaningful PD to help them leverage AI responsibly in their work.

AI Literacy Essentials for K-12 is a hands-on, interactive course designed to equip educators with the foundational knowledge, mindsets, and practical skills to be AI-literate—no tech background required. Whether you’re a teacher, instructional coach, or K-12 leader, this course was built for you, by peers who have been in your shoes.
