Los Angeles Unified School District paused student AI access on district devices. New York City Public Schools banned it through 8th grade.

The handbooks for AI are being written. A policy tells students which tools they can open. Skills teach them to question AI-generated answers, spot bias, protect their privacy, and determine when AI use is appropriate or not.

Join The Social Institute for a practical session on how K-12 schools and districts turn their AI policies into the skills that equip students, educators, and families to navigate AI with confidence. Students will meet AI after school hours and long after graduation, whatever a school policy says. Let’s prepare them to make high-character choices when they do.

You’ll walk away with

A clear picture of what students need: the AI skills that matter most, based on student voice data gathered from more than one million student responses.
Easy-to-implement lessons: build those skills in any classroom, whether or not students have access to AI tools.
Simple language for families: explain your school’s AI standards so expectations hold up at home.
