Are you ready to lead the future of education policy? Join Dr. Traci Eshelman’s dynamic workshop and working group designed for K-12 administrators, board directors, and educational leaders who are ready to take action. Grounded in a comprehensive systematic literature review, this session will unpack the urgent need for coherent, ethical, and inclusive AI policies in school districts across the United States. With only 13% of districts reporting adopted AI policies and most lacking formal guidance, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to explore strategic frameworks, stakeholder engagement models, and real-world implementation strategies. Participants will leave equipped with actionable insights, customizable policy templates, and a collaborative network of peers committed to responsible innovation in education.

This is more than a workshop- it’s a movement. As AI rapidly reshapes the educational landscape, school leaders face mounting pressure to respond with clarity, integrity, and foresight. This working group will dive deep into the “how” of policy development, how districts can leverage institutional resources, navigate state and federal mandates, and build capacity for sustainable AI integration. Drawing from national policy matrices, state-level toolkits, and institutional theory, Dr. Eshelman will guide participants through the design of agile, equity-centered policies that protect student data, promote AI literacy, and empower educators. Whether your district is just beginning or refining its AI strategy, this session will provide the roadmap you need to lead with confidence.
