About Bridge to AI

Bridge to AI is an educational initiative designed born out of the Nashville Public Education Foundation's Teacherpreneur program in 2005. Our goal is to help Nashville's educators effectively integrate AI tools into their teaching practices. Our mission is to empower educators with the knowledge and resources to give their students equitable access to important new skills.

Our Mission

We believe that AI has the potential to transform education by:

• Personalizing learning experiences for students
• Enhancing creativity and critical thinking
• Providing new opportunities for student engagement

However, we recognize that many educators face challenges in adopting these new technologies. Bridge to AI aims to bridge this gap by providing accessible lesson plans and implementation frameworks that make AI integration straightforward and beneficial.

What We Offer

• Lesson Plans: Ready-to-use AI-enhanced lesson plans across various subjects
• Frameworks: Structured approaches to integrating AI tools in teaching
• Resources: (Planned) Guides, articles, and tutorials on effective AI use in education
• Community: (Planned) A place for educators to share experiences and best practices

Our Values

• Equity: Ensuring AI tools benefit all students regardless of background
• Ethics: Promoting responsible and ethical use of AI in education
• Empowerment: Giving teachers the confidence to leverage AI effectively

Our Foundations

The Bridge to AI project acknowledges the national model created by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Generative AI Implementation Guidelines. Specifically, the CRAFT and EVERY frameworks. OFFLINE is a frameowrk developed by Brige to AI. These guidelines provide a robust foundation for responsible and effective AI integration in educational settings.
