Why Standards Matter
Proven Framework

Standards aren't academic theory - they're practical guides that help you make informed decisions about AI tools, policies, and classroom practices.
Future-Proof Learning
By understanding the foundational principles behind AI education, you're prepared for whatever new tools emerge, not just today's specific applications.
