Safe, Ethical, and Responsible AI prepares educators to navigate the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence in schools with professionalism and sound judgment. Using the WISE AI Literacy Framework, participants will explore issues such as privacy, safety, transparency, bias, fairness, and academic integrity while examining how AI can support - or undermine - meaningful student learning. Through real-world classroom scenarios, guided experimentation, and reflective practice, educators will learn how to evaluate AI outputs critically, create responsible classroom expectations, and design activities that encourage ethical and thoughtful AI use by students. The course emphasizes that effective AI integration depends on human judgment, instructional purpose, and protecting student learning above efficiency or automation. Participants will leave with practical protocols and classroom-ready strategies for implementing AI responsibly and ethically in educational settings.

Learning activities take approximately 20 hours to complete and successful participants earn a certificate of completion for 20 hours toward teacher license renewal (e.g., PDPs in Kansas).  

Participants have 60 days to complete each offering upon registration. Please consider this when choosing how many courses to register for at the same time.
