AI Educator Coaches Program (coming soon)

The AI Educator Coaches Program is a hybrid cohort that builds a statewide network of Montana educators with verified AI literacy expertise.

Over about six weeks, participants complete evergreen core learning in flexible online modules focused on AI literacy, digital literacy, and student privacy, paired with live community sessions for discussion, tool updates, and shared problem-solving. The program culminates in a locally-useful final project (examples: school AI handbooks, parent guides, toolkits, or policy resources) and an AI Coach credential/badge.

Graduates may also be invited to join a regional trainer pathway with Frontier Learning Lab, helping deliver AI literacy and content-area training in their local communities.
