Ready to master the strategic side of artificial intelligence without the technical overwhelm? This hands-on course provides a low-barrier, high-impact entry point for busy K-12 administrators looking to safely optimize their daily operational workflows. Grounded entirely within Google Classroom and leveraging a suite of familiar Google applications, this facilitator-led program prioritizes active, task-based creation, making it a manageable and engaging experience for leaders at any comfort level with technology.

Throughout the course, you will directly confront the core challenges of district-level AI integration. You will move from understanding the text-prediction mechanics of Large Language Models (LLMs) to uncovering factual hallucination and implicit bias traps. You will engineer your own product and process prompt libraries and master source-grounded synthesis. You will develop the supervisory lenses needed to evaluate adult AI usage on your campus, analyze complex ethical scenarios, and leave with a fully customized, classroom-ready professional development slide deck to train the staff you lead.

This course is highly recommended for superintendents, central office directors, principals, and tech procurement coordinators using Google for Education who want to reclaim hours of weekly documentation time while safeguarding student and staff records.

Participants who successfully complete this course will receive an ED Technology Specialists Certificate of Completion and a digital AI for Administrators badge recognizing their professional learning.
