Participants will learn how to do two things simultaneously — use AI tools to strengthen their own instructional practice and weave AI literacy mindsets and skills into existing content-area lessons. This matters because students need adults who can both model thoughtful AI use and teach them to engage with AI critically and ethically — not as a separate unit, but embedded in the work they're already doing. Participants will know key AI literacy concepts appropriate for secondary students (bias, transparency, human judgment, prompt quality, appropriate vs. inappropriate use); understand how to identify natural entry points for AI literacy within their existing curriculum without adding new content; and be able to draft one lesson moment or discussion hook that builds student AI literacy within their subject area.
