Summary
AI teacher certification is getting built from scratch in Indiana — and the guy designing it explains exactly how. Ryan Murray, Project Specialist at the Central Indiana Educational Service Center, breaks down the SAIL certification program (Strategic AI Integration and Leadership), a three-tier framework built with educators, higher ed, and industry across the state. Key topics covered: Why rural Indiana districts are ahead of suburban schools on AI adoption, and what suburban districts are getting wrong The three-tier SAIL certification: AI literacy, classroom integration, and global leadership Data privacy and student PII: why ed-tech companies lead with safety and what that means for district buying decisions Why prompt engineering is fundamentally a communication skill, not a tech skill What AI jobs exist right now that nobody is training students for — red teaming, evals, multi-model fluency Ryan's advice to students: get off your computers, talk to people, those skills transfer directly The bottom line: educators are waiting for AI to be proven before they adopt it, but the students in their classrooms right now can't afford to wait.
