Since 2018 the AI4K12 Initiative has been developing national guidelines for teaching AI in K-12. The AI for K-12 guidelines are organized around the 5 Big Ideas in AI. The guidelines define what every student should know about AI and what they should be able to do with it. The guidelines will serve as a framework to assist standards writers and curriculum developers on AI concepts, essential knowledge, and skills by grade band.
The AI4K12 draft guidelines are organized in grade band progression charts that span K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 grade bands.
All five of the grade band progression charts are currently available for public comment and feedback.
