Artificial Intelligence tools are becoming a major presence in our world. As teachers begin to use SchoolAI and other tools to support their teaching practice, students will also begin to explore AI and how it fits into their lives.

Below is a framework developed by SchoolAI to help support educators and schools as they help students successfully and ethically use AI.
