Colorado’s Roadmap for AI in K-12 Education

The Colorado Roadmap for AI in K-12 Education is the result of months of collaboration by over 100 stakeholders from across the state. AI technology has unprecedented potential to reshape teaching and learning. By integrating AI thoughtfully and responsibly into the classroom, educators can enhance learning experiences, support diverse student needs, and prepare students for the future. 

This roadmap is a dynamic resource designed to support local school districts in developing their own approaches to AI integration. It emphasizes flexibility and adaptability, acknowledging the rapid pace of technological change and the importance of continuous learning and improvement.

The guidance in this roadmap aims to:

  • Provide practical insights for integrating AI into education, focusing on enhancing teaching, impacting learning, and promoting equity and inclusion, supported by policy and tools.
  • Empower educators and policymakers with the knowledge and tools to leverage AI effectively, fostering a more engaging, inclusive, and innovative educational environment.
  • Call on state-level organizations to create conditions for school districts to learn rapidly from each other and from early adopters.

Most importantly, this is an invitation to reshape educational systems, giving Colorado’s young people a competitive edge and engaging them in relevant learning experiences regardless of their zip code.

We extend deep gratitude to those who contributed to the development of this roadmap; the Gill Foundation who made the work possible through their financial support; and the leaders and educators who commit to moving this work forward.
