What this document actually says
This document outlines a grade-by-grade plan to teach students about artificial intelligence from PreK through 8th grade. Younger students (PK-2) learn to identify AI in everyday tools like Siri and smart speakers, and understand the difference between human and machine learning. Elementary students (3-5) explore how AI uses data, privacy concerns, and recommendation algorithms. Middle schoolers (6-8) study AI ethics, academic integrity with AI tools, algorithmic bias, limitations of AI for research, and the future impact of AI on careers. Each grade level includes specific concepts and hands-on activities, with resources from Common Sense Media, TeachAI, and Code.org.
What this means for your family
Your child will learn age-appropriate lessons about artificial intelligence at every grade level. This curriculum helps students use AI tools responsibly, understand online privacy, recognize bias in technology, and make ethical decisions about when and how to use AI for schoolwork. The goal is to prepare students to navigate an AI-influenced world thoughtfully and safely.
