Curriculum Integration

Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy is not meant to be a standalone subject—it is a thread to weave through every grade and content area. By embedding AI literacy concepts into various subjects, students develop essential digital-age skills across learning environments: school, home, and community.

 

AI Literacy Framework: Domains & Competences

Based on the AILit Framework by the European Commission, OECD, and Code.org, the framework identifies four key domains with 22 total competences. These blend knowledge, skills, and attitudes for navigating a world shaped by AI.

Engaging with AI
  • Recognize AI’s role in tools and systems
    • Example: When using a tool like Grammarly or Canva Magic Write, students identify which parts are powered by AI and how it is helping.
  • Evaluate AI outputs for accuracy and relevance
    • Example: Students ask an AI tool to summarize a news article and then compare the response to the original to check for missing details or errors.
  • Explore how AI shapes recommendations
    • Example: Students reflect on why YouTube or Spotify suggests certain content and how past behavior influences future suggestions.
  • Analyze alignment with ethics: fairness, Privacy, Transparency
    • Example: Students examine an AI image or text output for potential Bias, discuss what data may have trained the model, and draft a plain-language “AI use” note describing limits and Privacy considerations.
