aiEDU Webinars:
AI Readiness in Action
aiEDU hosts free webinars for educators, school leaders, and district administrators that connect AI readiness to everyday practice.
If you're asking whether AI detectors are worth using, what AI literacy looks like outside a computer lab, how to write policy your staff will actually follow, or where AI belongs in your Portrait of a Graduate, you're asking the same questions we build these sessions around. Each webinar takes one of those questions and works through it with the people living it, including district leaders, classroom teachers, researchers, and partner organizations.
Our webinars are designed by practitioners, for practitioners. Teachers leave with strategies they can use in a lesson next week. Leaders leave with examples of how other districts made the same decision, and what it took to get it right. Every session is recorded, so you can watch live or catch up later.

Every session we've hosted, along with the slides, curriculum, and tools that came with it. These work well for a PLC, a department meeting, a leadership retreat, or your own planning time.
How can the habits of historians prepare students for an AI-powered future?
That's the question driving DREAM Charter Schools' approach to AI literacy grounded in the aiEDU AI Readiness Framework. Students practice discernment in history class, a context where misinformation, bias, and erased perspectives carry real weight. They learn when AI supports their inquiry (outlining claims they've built from evidence, simplifying sources) and when it undermines it (making unverified claims, flattening complex narratives).
As part of our Partner Spotlight Series, this webinar takes you inside the model: real lessons, student work, and what it would take to adapt this approach for your school.
Programming is shifting from complex syntax to natural language, a movement known as "vibe coding." In this webinar, we move beyond the hype to define what vibe coding actually is—and where its limits lie—compared to traditional programming. Through a live demonstration and a look at practical use cases, you will see how educators can use simple prompts to transform ideas into functional digital tools. Whether through real-world personal examples or common classroom scenarios, we will explore the "vibe-based" approach to development and evaluate how it can best support your unique pedagogical goals. Join us to discover how to turn your pedagogical ideas into working prototypes and evaluate when this "vibe-based" approach is the right fit for your classroom goals.

Note: This was a second offering of the Vibe Coding 101.
AI is rapidly reshaping the workforce—and the skills that matter most for students are changing with it.
In this session, explore how to redefine workforce readiness for the age of AI through concrete examples and data-driven insights. We’ll introduce new research from aiEDU and the Burning Glass Institute that connects real-world workforce trends to K–12 learning.
You’ll be introduced to the AI Readiness Framework, a practical tool to help educators and leaders:
Deepen conceptual understanding where it matters most
Transform workflows and instructional practices
Streamline what can be automated
Prioritize uniquely human skills
Hear how Red Wing Public Schools has brought this work to life—embedding AI readiness into their Portrait of a Graduate and long-term strategic plan.
👉 Walk away with actionable strategies to better prepare students for the future of work.

As AI becomes part of everyday learning, many schools are turning to AI detection software to address concerns about academic integrity. But what role should these tools really play? This webinar explores the limits of AI detection, how to respond when a student is flagged, and a broader, learning-centered approach grounded in transparency, dialogue, and student agency. Participants will gain practical strategies to support responsible AI use while protecting meaningful learning.

Co-hosted by aiEDU and Quill.org, this webinar aims to showcase how strong writing instruction and AI readiness go hand-in-hand. We will define what AI readiness is, how it connects to writing, and how students can become stronger writers and learn to think critically about AI simultaneously. We will also showcase our Building AI Knowledge curriculum, a free resource that teachers can use to build writing, AI literacy, and critical thinking skills simultaneously.
Learn how to help students question what AI tools tell them and make smarter choices about when to trust them. Join us for a hands-on walkthrough of our new Evaluating AI Outputs AI Snapshots to build critical thinking, source-checking, and healthy skepticism in your classroom.
