Building Capacity for Gen AI in K-12 Education

The Building Capacity for Generative AI in K-12 Education project equips school systems with the tools, training, and support needed to approach generative AI thoughtfully and strategically. Designed to serve districts of all sizes and contexts, the initiative helps education leaders evaluate their readiness across seven key areas, including leadership, operations, data, technology, security, legal considerations, and academic AI literacy. Through a scalable train-the-trainer model, participants gain guidance in assessing current capabilities, identifying future goals, and taking actionable steps toward implementation, all grounded in the CoSN/CGCS K-12 Gen AI Maturity Tool.

This project is a collaboration between CoSN and the Association of Educational Service Agencies (AESA), with additional partnership from the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) and AASA, The School Superintendents Association.
