Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to talk through your implementation plans with?
Welcome to the AZ AI Alliance Buddy System — your chance to connect, collaborate, and grow alongside fellow educators navigating the world of AI in schools. The Learning Buddy system is designed to pair groups/individuals at similar phases of AI implementation to share contact info and chat as regularly as makes sense (we think once a month is a good idea!). This isn’t mentorship and guidance, it’s camaraderie and pushing.
We've heard from so many leadership groups and integration teams that this kind of collaboration is one of the most valuable supports they've had, and hope that we can play a role in setting it up for more!
Want to take the lead in finding a partner? Browse a shared set of interest slides submitted by others and reach out to the person or team that sparks your curiosity.
This option is:
Transparent: You can see who’s available and what they’re working on
Flexible: Choose someone aligned with your needs or goals
Fast: No waiting for a match
To participate this way, duplicate and fill out your own doc tab (visible on the left of the document! Help link) so others can find you too!
Prefer us to do the pairing for you?
Fill out this form before 5/27/25, and we’ll match you with someone based on your interests, focus areas, and preferences.
This option is:
Low effort: Just fill out the form and wait for your buddy
Curated: We aim to make intentional matches based on shared goals
Inclusive: Great if you’re unsure who to reach out to
Both paths are great — it’s up to you how proactive or hands-off you want to be.
Either way, you’ll get a chance to connect, share, and support each other as we build AI readiness together.
