In the early stages of AI readiness, schools often feel pressure to “teach AI” and address ethics, even when adult understanding is uneven and classroom practices are still evolving. Faculty may hold different views about what students should know and what responsible AI use looks like. At the same time, equity questions quickly emerge: Who has access? Who benefits? And where might new practices unintentionally widen gaps?

This webinar focuses on Dimensions 5 and 6 of the AI Readiness Framework for schools at Levels 1–2. Dimension 5 is AI Literacy, Ethics, and Digital Citizenship, and Dimension 6 is Equitable Access and Inclusive Practices.

Participants will learn how to establish shared language and realistic early-stage expectations for students and faculty, grounded in responsible use and strong digital citizenship. The session also offers practical strategies to identify access and inclusion risks early — prioritizing accessible tools and appropriate supports for diverse learners. The emphasis is foundational: building clarity and coherence without rushing into large-scale curriculum redesign.
