AI Confidence Kit

for Schools

AI is entering schools faster than policies can keep up and most districts aren’t set up to manage the risks.

Teachers are experimenting. Vendors are overpromising. Parents are asking hard questions. School leaders are expected to make quick decisions in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment.

That’s why we created The AI Confidence Kit™—a complete, ready-to-implement system to help school teams govern AI use with clarity, compliance, and community trust.

Pillar 1: Understand Before You Implement

Pillar 2:
Guardrails That Govern

Pillar 3:
Guardrails That Gatekeep

Pillar 4:
Sustain Your AI Momentum

Pillar 1: Understand Before You Implement

Build foundational AI literacy across your leadership and staff.

This pillar ensures your school knows what it's dealing with before tools are purchased, deployed, or used in classrooms. It covers the essentials of generative AI, how it's showing up in education, and the legal and ethical risks your team needs to manage from day one.

What’s included:

60–90 minute training for school leadership and/or board
Staff PD Module 1: AI literacy for teachers and support personnel
Legal overview: FERPA, COPPA, HIPAA, PPRA
AI Readiness Self-Audit
Teacher FAQ + “Is this tool safe?” checklist

Why it matters:
Without shared understanding, governance efforts fall apart. This training gets everyone aligned, fast.

Pillar 2: Guardrails That Govern

Operationalize your AI policies and communication systems.

This pillar helps schools move from abstract concerns to practical protections. It provides customizable tools to guide safe use, train staff, and build trust with families—all grounded in current legal frameworks.

What’s included:

FERPA/COPPA/HIPPA/state privacy laws-aligned AI risk checklist
AI use policy template for internal staff
Classroom AI intake and documentation form
Use case heatmap: green, yellow, and red zones
Staff PD Module 2: Implementing safe-use protocols
Parent AI Education Training (live or recorded)
Stakeholder messaging templates (board, staff, families)
Family communication templates for both proactive and incident response
Custom school-specific policy drafting support

Why it matters:
The biggest risk isn’t just misuse—it’s the loss of trust when families feel left out or unprotected. This pillar helps schools lead with clarity and consistency.

Pillar 3: Guardrails That Gatekeep

Procure AI tools with confidence, not confusion.

This pillar gives your team the tools to evaluate AI-enabled products, protect student data, and identify red flags before contracts are signed. It helps you integrate AI into procurement and vendor management processes.

What’s included:

Vetting questions for EdTech AI vendors
Red flag guide for identifying unsafe tools or false claims
Model contract clauses aligned with Ed privacy best practices
Support for incorporating AI into state- and district-specific procurement processes
Add-on: Terms of Service (TOS) Review Subscription

Why it matters:
Most AI risk enters through your contracts. This pillar helps you filter out bad actors before they create a problem.

Pillar 4: Sustain Your AI Momentum

Keep your AI governance practices current as the landscape evolves.

This pillar ensures your school doesn’t fall behind after the initial implementation. It provides ongoing guidance, training, and policy monitoring so your team can respond quickly to new tools, laws, and DOE shifts.
