Goals x Design — AI Readiness for K-12 Schools
Helping K-12 school leaders assess, plan, and act on AI readiness through research-based tools and professional development.
What We Do
Goals x Design partners with K-12 school leaders, administrators, and educators to build a clear, confident approach to artificial intelligence. We use the research-backed
PROSPER / PREPARE / PROTECT
framework to evaluate where your school currently stands and what steps will move you forward — strategically and safely.

The PROSPER / PREPARE / PROTECT Framework
Our assessment framework is built on three pillars that reflect the full scope of institutional AI readiness:
-
PROSPER
— Technical infrastructure and tool adoption. Is your school equipped to use AI tools effectively?
-
PREPARE
— Pedagogical readiness and staff capacity. Do your educators have the skills and confidence to teach with and alongside AI?
-
PROTECT
— Ethical governance, data protection, and equity. Does your school have the policies and safeguards to use AI responsibly?
