What are you looking for on your AI Readiness Journey?
District-Wide Implementation and Establishing Guidelines
We provide frameworks to guide your district's strategic planning, capacity building, and responsible integration of AI across all systems. Our team includes CESA 2 consultants trained through nationally recognized programs such as CoSN’s National Training Project for Building Capacity for Generative AI in K-12 Education, ISTE’s AI Advanced Explorations, and AI for Education’s Train the Trainer Network.
Improving Efficiency and Productivity
We offer professional learning opportunities for educators, administrators, office staff, and leadership teams to gain practical skills for using AI to streamline repetitive tasks. By automating these tasks, AI frees up time for more human-centered interactions, empowering staff to focus on relationship-building and student support.
Enhance Instructional Practices
We help educators build a foundational understanding of AI’s potential to create transformative, student-centered learning. Through collaborative resource sharing and access to a growing bank of exemplary AI-enhanced instructional models, teachers can personalize learning, boost engagement, and design more inclusive environments, especially for students with IEPs or those historically marginalized by traditional systems.
Student AI Literacy Building
AI literacy is essential for students to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven world. Our approach fosters responsible digital citizenship and empowers students to use AI thoughtfully and ethically, ensuring they develop the skills and mindset necessary for future readiness.
We also have a variety of upcoming professional development opportunities:
CoSN K-12 Gen AI Maturity Leadership Summit
This Summit equips district decision-makers and instructional leaders with tools to assess their district's preparedness/implementation for generative AI using nationally endorsed resources — which includes the K–12 Gen AI Maturity Tool, developed by CoSN, CGCS, and AWS. This model reveals areas of growth and provides a clear path to maturity in all areas of an organization.
