Partnership Model
Selection Process
Each school partner is assigned a tailored AI Advisory Board comprised of four to six leading experts from the CONSYLIUM Network, each specializing in a subject matter area related to AI in education.
Together, the advisory board members collectively leverage their professional expertise and/or portfolios of research to support the needs of our K-12 school partners in addressing the most critical focus areas for effective AI strategy.
The composition of each AI Advisory Board is tailored to the specific needs of each school partner. During the Discovery phase, we work closely with school leaders to determine which of our primary focus areas they wish to prioritize in shaping their advisory board. We assemble the board by selecting members from the CONSYLIUM Network (or recruiting additional experts if necessary) who specialize in the identified areas.
Partnership Scope
We are committed to providing the most comprehensive AI professional development for K–12 schools in the nation, achieved through a strategic and collaborative partnership approach. Each AI Advisory Board member commits to facilitating a series of one-hour virtual sessions scheduled during key points throughout the academic year.
Recognizing that time is limited for teachers, not all sessions are designed for full faculty participation. In the corresponding Example, the advisory board member specializing in Instructional Design may deliver sessions for all teaching faculty, whereas the AI Policy expert may concentrate their efforts on an AI Steering Committee or another specialized working group. This ensures content is relevant and targeted, and maximizes the time our school partners have with each advisory board member.
