Are you an AI-Ready School Leader?
In February and March, I led the first Maven Cohort of the AI-Ready School Leader Certification Program. The goal was simple:
Help Our Cohort Become the Top 1% of School Leaders in Understanding AI & Using It With Purpose
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.
Our Next Cohort begins next week on June 2nd! 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 and School Board Members 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:
👉️ Use AI to multiply your leadership impact, not just your speed
Build AI workflows that help you think through decisions, not just write faster

Frequently asked questions
What level of AI experience do I need?
This course is designed for multiple levels. If you're just starting with AI, watch the foundational modules on AI fundamentals. If you're already comfortable using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you can skip straight to the AI-Ready Leadership modules.
Do I need technical or coding experience?
No coding or technical experience required. You'll be using no-code interfaces like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. If you can write clear instructions in English, you can use these tools.
Can I (or my team) pay with a Purchase Order?
Yes, we provide quotes to all organizations if you need to pay with a Purchase Order. Please email me at [email protected] and we'll be in touch with a quote within 24 hours.
When do I receive my Certification?
You'll received your Certification upon completion of the Cohort and final Project. We'll also list you as a Certified AI-Ready School Leader on our site.
Will this work with my organization’s AI policies and security requirements?
If your organization hasn't approved these platforms yet, you can use the tools on a personal account and use them for your own work without sharing confidential information. We'll cover best practices for responsible AI use.
What happens if I can’t make a Live Session?
All sessions are recorded and shared within 24 hours. You'll get a session guide for each one. You can still learn and use your tools asynchronously and get feedback from peers and instructors in the course community.
Can I get my organization to pay for this?
Many leaders expense this as professional development through their organization. We can provide a detailed course outline and learning objectives to submit for approval.
What if my team or organization is skeptical about AI?
I'm sure they are. This course teaches you how to introduce AI in a way that builds trust, not resistance. You'll learn to model effective use (not just tell them to use it) and implement the 3-phase adoption plan we teach inside of the cohort.
What is the refund policy?
Your purchase is backed by the Maven Guarantee.
Hope to see you on the inside!
