Manage and design with AI

In this learning path, educators use routines to make AI use choices that protect learning, student agency, and classroom integrity. Coaches use shared language and templates to support consistent practice and help teams adopt safeguards without adding friction. Administrators use systems-focused tools to set expectations, support transparency, and design workflows that improve fairness and accountability.

This learning path is one of two learning paths that qualify the learner to become a Microsoft Elevate Educator - Expert in the Microsoft Elevate Education Community. This program connects educators to a trusted global network where they learn from peers and are recognized for leadership and innovation with technology and education, with access to Microsoft product and program leaders.
