What foundational AI-related knowledge, skills, and attitudes do students need to navigate a world where AI surrounds them?
This session revisits the concept of AI literacy, defined by the European Commission and OECD as “the technical knowledge, durable skills, and future-ready attitudes required to thrive in a world influenced by AI EC/OECD).”
Attendees will receive an updated look at both secular and Catholic frameworks that support the development of AI literacy in K–12 settings. These frameworks—such as the AI4K12 Initiative, the AI Lit Framework, and the Catholic Companion Framework—offer roadmaps for exploring AI concepts in age-appropriate ways.
This session also acknowledges that this is still an evolving space. More work is needed to create a curriculum that is classroom-ready. To that end, Lewis will introduce the AI Literacy Lesson Plan in Catholic Schools Challenge, an open invitation for educators to submit lesson plans to share creative ways to teach AI literacy in Catholic schools.
