AI literacy is no longer optional for educators.

So I built something practical.

The AI Literacy Coach for Educators is a free Custom GPT that delivers 10 minute, scenario-based sessions grounded in major AI literacy frameworks. Real classroom simulations. Real student work. Adaptive progression.

Use it to sharpen your fluency now or prepare for future district assessments.

Yes, it’s free.
