Help your staff and students use AI with confidence

Hands-on AI training and support for schools: practical skills for teachers, AI literacy for students, and clear guidelines that protect student and community data. Our programs are shaped for First Nations schools and work for every school.

Sound familiar?

AI arrived in classrooms faster than most schools could plan for it. Here’s what we hear, and how we help.

  • “Students are already using AI, and we don’t have rules for it.”

    Every teacher handles it differently, and students get mixed messages about what’s allowed.

    How we fix it: We help you write clear, plain-language AI guidelines: what’s allowed, what isn’t, and how students should show when they used AI.

  • “Teachers are curious but nervous, and nobody has time to figure it out.”

    A few staff experiment on their own while others avoid it completely.

    How we fix it: Hands-on sessions that start from the basics and fit the school day, so every teacher leaves with something they can use tomorrow.

  • “We can’t tell if the work is the student’s own.”

    AI detection tools are unreliable, and accusing a student is the last thing anyone wants.

    How we fix it: We show teachers how to design assignments and assessments that make learning visible, so integrity doesn’t depend on detection.

  • “We’re worried about student privacy and our community’s data.”

    It’s not always clear where information typed into an AI tool ends up.

    How we fix it: We set up approved tools with the right privacy settings, teach staff what never goes into AI, and respect First Nations data sovereignty.

  • “Finding someone qualified to train us is hard.”

    Most AI training is built for big urban districts, not for First Nations or smaller schools.

    How we fix it: Our training is designed around your school, your students and your community, and we stay on to support you afterwards.

  • “We already pay for Google or Microsoft. Are we using what we have?”

    Your licences may already include AI tools that nobody has turned on or learned to use.

    How we fix it: We set up Gemini for Education or Microsoft Copilot safely in the tools you already own, then train staff to use them.

Staff workshops

Pick the topics that fit your school. Each session is hands-on, uses the tools you already have, and ends with something teachers can use the next day.

AI basics

How AI works, what it does well, and where it gets things wrong.

Writing good prompts

Simple techniques to get useful, accurate results.

Lesson planning

Plan units, activities and differentiated materials faster.

Quizzes, rubrics and feedback

Build assessments and give better feedback in less time.

Saving time on admin

Newsletters, emails and report card comments, without sharing student details.

Academic integrity

Assignment design and conversations that keep learning honest.

Every learner

Support for diverse learners, reading levels and language learners.

Talking with families

Explain how your school uses AI, and answer parents’ questions.

AI literacy for students

Students will use AI for the rest of their lives. We help them understand it, question it and use it well, with lessons matched to their age.

Where your community wants it, we work with you on projects that connect technology with local culture and language, always guided by your Elders, staff and community.

  • How AI works, and its limitsWhy AI can sound sure and still be wrong.
  • Spotting fakes and misinformationChecking sources, images and videos.
  • Using AI to learn, not to cheatBrainstorming, practice and feedback, done honestly.
  • Protecting personal informationWhat never to share with an AI tool.
  • Bias and missing voicesWhose stories AI tells, and whose it leaves out.

Use the AI tools you already have

Your Google or Microsoft account may already include education AI tools. We turn them on with the right settings for staff and students, then train everyone to use them.

Gemini for Education

For schools on Google Workspace.

  • Admin settings for staff and students
  • AI in Docs, Gmail and Classroom
  • Training for teachers

Microsoft Copilot

For schools on Microsoft 365.

  • Protected sign-in for staff and students
  • AI in Word, Outlook and Teams
  • Training for teachers

We’re also your IT team

Because we manage Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 for schools, we handle the technical setup too: who gets access, age settings and data protection. One partner from setup to classroom.

See IT support

Safe, responsible and respectful

AI should support your school’s values, not work against them. Every program we deliver is built on these commitments.

Clear guidelines

Plain-language rules on allowed uses, academic integrity and how to show when AI was used.

Privacy first

No personal or student information goes into tools your school hasn’t approved.

Respect for data sovereignty

Your community’s information belongs to your community. Our approach follows the First Nations principles of ownership, control, access and possession.

People stay in charge

AI helps teachers. It doesn’t replace their judgment or their relationships with students.

Reviewed as AI changes

We revisit your guidelines and training regularly so they keep up with new tools.

How we bring AI into your school

Step by step, at a pace that works for your staff and community.

  1. AI readiness check

    We learn where your staff and students are today, and what tools you already have.

  2. Guidelines first

    Together we write simple AI guidelines that fit your school and community.

  3. Hands-on training

    Workshops for staff, lessons for students and briefings for leaders.

  4. Ongoing support

    Follow-up coaching, refreshers and help desk support as AI keeps changing.
