In this episode, I chat with Katie Page, an Instructional Technology Coordinator and author of AI Blueprint for Schools, about how her district developed a districtwide strategy for AI in schools grounded in intentionality, inclusion, and real classroom needs. You’ll also hear practical tips from her book, including how to build teacher trust, meet staff where they are, and spotlight real use cases to foster buy-in. If you want to design or refine a sustainable districtwide AI strategy rooted in relationships, educator support, and classroom impact, this episode has you covered!
