About the Leadership Series
Through a series of interactive sessions, participants will explore eight interconnected dimensions of AI literacies and learn how to assess existing capabilities, design impactful professional development, and craft a strategic vision that meets the unique needs of their communities. Built from findings from the facilitators’ globally recognized research, this series features exemplars from institutions of various types and sizes, contextualized by the diverse learner populations they serve, and offers concrete insights for strategic planning. Participants will engage in experiential learning, peer exchange, and collaborative planning while building a community of practice that extends beyond the series sessions. Additionally, leaders will work together across roles to design a holistic strategy for AI literacies development and cultivate an institution-wide culture of AI readiness that advances learner success, inclusivity, and workforce preparedness.
