No school or district should figure out AI alone.
Arizona has official guidance for AI in K-12 education. The Alliance helps schools actually use it — with practical resources, a statewide community of practice, and the collective reach of the organizations that already serve you.
Guidance on paper doesn't change what happens in classrooms.
Arizona published guidance for generative AI in K-12 education. Turning guidance into practice is a different job. With the AZ AI Alliance, we can do that work together.
Strategic Guidance
Making the guidance usable
Arizona has official guidance for AI in K-12 education. We help schools understand it, apply it, and provide feedback to improve future versions.
How we operationalize the guidanceKnowledge Exchange
Connecting the people doing the work
We host a statewide community of practitioners sharing what they're trying, what's working, and what isn't. We convene a monthly Learning Network for practitioners and regular convenings of member organizations as well as sharing resources from Arizona organizations.
Join the Learning NetworkThree essential early actions
Between policy questions, tools, training, instructional shifts, and community concerns, getting started can feel overwhelming. Arizona leaders built a short framework to move a school or district from discussion to action. Each one is a page with what to do, what "done" looks like, and video from Arizona districts that have already done it.
Approve and communicate a tool list
Start with a manageable list of approved tools, a clear account-creation procedure, and communication that reaches staff, students, and families.
App do's and don'tsTrain staff on the top-line guardrails
Protect data, question outputs, keep humans in the loop. This is safety training, not professional development — everyone needs it, and it comes first.
Train on pitfallsClarify expectations for student use
Students consistently say they don't know their school's rules. A shared system lets teachers communicate when AI is welcome, and when the thinking is the point.
A system for student useArizona has 1.5 million K-12 students.
Every one of them is growing up in a world reshaped by AI, and every school in the state is deciding right now what that means for teaching and learning.
The Alliance exists so that the quality of a student's experience with AI doesn't depend on the size or resources of their individual school or district.
Fourteen organizations, one statewide effort
Our members don't all approach education the same way. Some serve districts, some serve charters, some serve rural communities, and most work statewide. That range is what lets the Alliance hold varied perspectives and stay responsive to local context.
Leading AI work at a school or district?
The Learning Network is a monthly virtual gathering for Arizona education practitioners doing this job. No Alliance membership required, no cost, and open to practitioners only.
