Strategic AI Leadership in Education

This course prepares education leaders to guide the responsible adoption and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) within schools and educational organizations. Participants examine opportunities for AI to support organizational effectiveness, strategic priorities, professional practice, and educational improvement while considering the governance, privacy, security, and ethical responsibilities associated with AI use. Through leadership-focused scenarios and applications, participants develop strategies for evaluating AI opportunities, establishing organizational expectations and safeguards, building educator capacity, and leading sustainable change. Emphasis is placed on developing a coherent approach to AI adoption that aligns technology decisions with organizational values, educational priorities, and the needs of students, educators, and communities.
