Strategic AI Implementation and District Policy Development is a job-embedded microcredential built for working K-12 superintendents in Illinois. Across four modules, you will produce four deliverables your district can use immediately: a district AI policy addressing privacy, transparency, and ethical use; a 12-to-24 month strategic implementation roadmap connected to ISBE priorities; a stakeholder communication package for your board, staff, and community; and a reflective analysis of your own leadership through the process. 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.
