Learning.com serves as a strategic, low-risk partner that can help Columbus City Schools extend its Portrait of a Graduate and future-ready learning vision into sustainable AI literacy.
Aligned to emerging guidance across Ohio, Learning.com supports districts in translating policy into classroom-ready practice, reinforcing responsible technology governance, secure instructional adoption, and durable skill development.
The result is districtwide confidence that AI literacy implementation strengthens teaching and learning today while preparing students for long-term workforce readiness across CTE and career pathways.
AI is already part of student learning. For Columbus City Schools, the focus is guiding responsible use now, not reacting later.
Align fundamentals-first AI literacy to whole-child outcomes, guaranteed and viable curriculum work, and Portrait of a Graduate expectations while supporting new AI policy direction across Ohio.
Establish a shared definition of what “AI ready” looks like districtwide before practices fragment school to school.
AI literacy must be built on safety, privacy, and ethical use. Identify where AI is already showing up in classrooms and standardize responsible use expectations so teachers, students, and families receive clear, consistent guidance that reinforces public trust and secure instructional adoption.
Move beyond AI hype and tool training. Equip teachers to help students evaluate AI outputs, detect bias, verify information, and apply human judgment. AI should strengthen thinking, not replace it, through fundamentals-first instruction and practical classroom examples.
Embed professional learning into instruction so teachers build confidence while teaching, with no separate tech training required. Evaluate readiness across instruction, governance, technology, and support systems, and leave with clear rollout options (pilot, phased, or districtwide) that fit capacity and schedules.

“As most districts do, we carefully vetted several different digital literacy curricula and Learning.com’s EasyTech really stood out as a robust and comprehensive solution. What we discovered was there wasn’t a whole lot out there of it’s kind, which is what we loved about it.”

“When we think of closing the digital divide, it doesn’t matter which teacher or class the student is in. All across our district, we have to think about and monitor 21st century learning, digital skills, media literacy – for all of our students.”
