The AI in Education Leadership Catalyst, a joint initiative with the Center for Black Educator Development and Latinos for Education, is designed to empower PK-12 school, district, and government education leaders* with foundational knowledge and skills to leverage AI in transforming teaching and learning. Through a community first approach, we aim to create a supportive and collaborative learning environment where participants can explore the core components of AI, understand its applications in education, and develop ethical guidelines for its use. By incorporating capacity building techniques and fostering critical discourse, education leaders will collaborate to advance their effective and responsible use of AI to advance learning outcomes for all students.
