💡 The first Cohort of my “AI-Ready School Leaders Certification Program” came to an end, and the reviews are in. Sign up for the June Cohort and learn more about the program here!

In February and March, I led the first Maven Cohort of the AI-Ready Certification Program. The goal was simple:

AI isn’t coming to education. It’s already reshaping how decisions get made, how communication happens, how data gets interpreted, and how work gets done. The question is no longer if leaders should use AI, it’s whether you’ll use it with intention or fall behind using it accidentally.

Right now, most school leaders are stuck at the surface level understanding and skill. Using AI to draft an email… maybe summarize a document… occasionally make a resource.

That’s not leadership-level AI use.

The real shift (and the move that puts you in the top 1% of school leaders) is learning how to use AI to think, lead, and design better systems.

Here are some reviews from the AI-Ready School Leaders Certification Program.

This Cohort begins on Tuesday, June 2nd and ends on Tuesday, June 23. We’ll have FOUR Live sessions on Tuesday’s throughout the Cohort (if you can’t make it Live we record everything).

At the end of the Cohort, upon completion of coursework, you’ll receive your AI-Ready Leadership Certification from Maven.

Who this Cohort is for:

  • Cabinet Level leaders who are ready to lead the work around Artificial Intelligence with purpose and intention in their organization.

  • School Level leaders who have dabbled in AI but want to be in the Top 1% of Education Leaders, using it fluently in their daily work.

  • Curriculum and Tech leaders who need to balance safeguards, ethical considerations, and a changing landscape in their roles right now.

What you’ll learn in this Cohort:
