Six months ago, a group of superintendents and state chiefs joined the first cohort of the #AI Strategy & Leadership Network. These are leaders running some of the largest and most complex systems in the country. Their time is the scarcest resource they have. So when one of them, a superintendent leading a Top 20 district, told us afterward: "It is difficult to give up large chunks of time. This was totally worth it" -- that meant something. Here is what Cohorts 1 and 2 leaders actually built: •A clear AI vision tied to student outcomes, not vendor pitches. •Governance guardrails that hold up when the pressure hits. •Multi-year AI roadmaps grounded in community trust. •Cross-functional alignment across legal, instruction, technology, and the board. They didn't leave with a binder. They left with a strategy their system can execute. And they built it alongside peers who are navigating the same complexity, in a room where the conversation is honest and the work is real. I am proud of what these cohorts accomplished.  And I am more convinced than ever that this kind of structured, peer-driven experience is what this moment in education requires. Cohorts 3 and 4 of the AI Strategy & Leadership Network are now enrolling for state and district leaders. If you are leading a system and feel the gap between AI activity and AI strategy, this is built for you.  #AIinEducation #K12 #edleadership #ILOImpact Learn more and apply for Cohorts 3 & 4 of the AI Strategy & Leadership Network: forms.gle/B8KFdwS6pJyYLo…

It’s not always the changes you see first… but they’re the ones that matter most. Bond 2023 is focused on improving the spaces students and staff rely on every day. #ECISD #Bond2023 youtu.be/Rm-rl1K6c4o?si…

#ILOImpact leading the conversation on #AI leadership in K-12. Via @govtechnews: Wary of adopting too many AI tools too quickly, some K-12 leaders are moving toward more structured governance models, forcing school systems to rethink how decisions are made, who is involved and how risk is managed. @juliarafalbaer @CharMeckSupt @AleesiaLJohnson @DEDeptofEd govtech.com/education/k-12…

Technical expertise in AI leadership is the floor, not the ceiling. Leaders need that AND judgment, smart governance, and a sustained focus on public trust. This week in the AI Strategy & Leadership Network, system leaders from across the country joined a role-alike session and fireside conversation with @DanWeisbergNY, former First Deputy Chancellor and Chief Legal Officer at @NYCSchools. The conversation focused on what it takes to lead AI strategy responsibly in one of the most complex moments education systems have faced. It’s exactly the kind of candid, practice-grounded dialogue leaders need right now. It’s exactly the kind of powerful, exclusive conversations AI Strategy & Leadership Network members receive. Cohorts 3 & 4 are now enrolling: forms.gle/B8KFdwS6pJyYLo…

We close out Day 2 of the #AI Strategy & Leadership Network with an exploration of ethical AI implementation and the leadership conditions needed amid rapid technological change. The members of Cohort 1 told us they want more! And so their journey won't end here. We're extending into Phase 2 to deepen learning, advance implementation, and sharpen strategy. This is just another example of how #ILOImpact continues to adapt and evolve to meet the demand for the best professional learning for leaders and teams in an #AI age. Cohorts 3 and 4 are enrolling now and filling fast. Click to learn more: forms.gle/B8KFdwS6pJyYLo… @ScottMuri @juliarafalbaer
