A fast, facilitated experience that turns scattered AI experiments into a unified district strategy.
Across K-12 districts, teachers and staff are already experimenting with AI tools — from ChatGPT to grading assistants to automated scheduling. But in most districts, this is happening without a shared strategy.
The result? Confusion among staff about what's allowed. Uneven adoption across schools and departments. Growing risk around data privacy, equity, and accountability. And leadership teams that feel behind instead of in control.
The question isn't whether your district will use AI — it's whether it will happen with a plan or without one.
The Leadership AI Roadmap Sprint is a focused, multi-day facilitated engagement designed to bring your cabinet team into alignment — fast. Here's how it works, step by step:
Before the Sprint begins, we conduct a brief intake survey and review of your district's current AI landscape. This ensures every session is grounded in your real context — not generic scenarios.
Your cabinet team participates in guided working sessions covering AI opportunities, risks, and strategic priorities. These are collaborative — not lecture-based — and designed for decision-makers, not IT staff.
Through structured exercises, your team builds consensus around a shared AI vision for the district. We surface differing perspectives early so they strengthen — not stall — your plan.
Together, we define the decision-making guardrails your district needs: what's in bounds, what requires approval, and how to evaluate new AI tools. These become your living governance framework.
We synthesize everything into a clear, board-ready implementation plan with prioritized actions, timelines, and ownership. You leave the Sprint with a document you can act on immediately.
A clear, co-created articulation of how your district will approach AI — aligned across your entire cabinet.
A practical governance framework that defines boundaries, approval processes, and evaluation criteria for AI tools.
A prioritized roadmap with actions, timelines, and ownership — ready to present to your board and community.
Concrete guidance on what to do after the Sprint — including quick wins, longer-term initiatives, and ongoing support options.
This isn't generic AI training. Here's what sets the Sprint apart:
Built for superintendents and cabinet leaders — not teachers or IT teams. Every activity is designed for the people making district-wide decisions.
No months-long consulting engagements. You get clarity and a real plan in just a few days of focused work.
We facilitate — we don't dictate. Your team builds the plan together, ensuring buy-in and ownership from day one.
Every framework, example, and guardrail is tailored to the realities of public education — budgets, boards, equity, and community trust.

The Sprint is designed for your cabinet-level leadership team — typically 4 to 12 people. This includes the superintendent, assistant superintendents, chief academic officers, technology directors, curriculum leads, and other senior decision-makers.
Absolutely. Whether your district has been piloting AI tools for a year or is just beginning to explore the landscape, the Sprint meets you where you are. In fact, districts early in adoption often benefit the most — getting aligned before habits and silos form.
Yes. The Sprint can be delivered in-person, virtually, or in a hybrid format. We adapt the facilitation approach to ensure every format is equally engaging and productive for your team.
Every week without a shared strategy is another week of fragmented adoption and growing risk. Let's talk about where your district stands and how the Sprint can help.
