Abstract

This webinar introduces the instructional design of "AI Literacy for Educators", a university-level course developed to prepare preservice teachers for the complex task of integrating AI literacy into diverse K-12 disciplines. Moving beyond traditional, programming-centric approaches, the course is theoretically grounded in the novel Pedagogical Framework for AI Literacy, which provides educators with practical, research-informed strategies for cultivating AI literacy across grade bands and subject areas. Drawing on data from cross-national implementations in the United States and China, the session will showcase examples of lesson artifacts designed by preservice teachers that successfully integrate core AI concepts into existing curricula.
