Effective AI Integration for School Principals is a job-embedded microcredential built for working K-12 school leaders in Illinois. Across four modules, you will produce four documents your school can use right away: an AI integration plan addressing privacy, transparency, and ethical use; a professional learning design that builds genuine AI literacy among your teaching staff; a stakeholder communication package for your superintendent, staff, students, and families; and a reflective analysis of your own instructional leadership. All coursework happens asynchronously in Canvas and CyberScholar, the University of Illinois's AI-powered platform, where you create your work and receive formative feedback grounded in Illinois legislation and current research before submitting for instructional evaluation. Enrollment is rolling, with up to 12 months to complete the work at your own pace. Your 40 Professional Development Hours are reported to ISBE within 14 business days.
