This session examines how one school district strategically launched artificial intelligence through an inside-out leadership model—beginning with capacity-building for administrators, alignment of governance, and ethical guardrails before scaling to classrooms. Participants will explore a district-wide approach to AI implementation that builds coherence, trust, and sustainability by engaging leaders first, establishing board-approved guidelines, and developing site-based teacher leads supported by a structured professional learning calendar. The presentation offers a replicable roadmap for districts seeking to integrate AI responsibly while strengthening instructional practice and organizational capacity.
