About AI Educators Exchange

The AI Educators Exchange is a professional development initiative designed to help educators integrate artificial intelligence into their classrooms and daily workflows. The program blends live cohort-based learning with self-paced modules, ensuring educators gain both practical skills and confidence in using AI responsibly.

With educators across the U.S. facing increased pressure to do more with less, AI Educators Exchange empowers them with tools, strategies, and a supportive community to prepare for the future of teaching.

That's where the partnership with IYKYK Education began.

Professional Development for an AI-Driven Future

For years, professional development has often been limited to in-person workshops, conferences, or one-size-fits-all online courses. While these approaches have value, they're not always ideal for today's educators.

Limited time and resources
Teachers' schedules are demanding, making it difficult to travel for conferences or commit to rigid training schedules.
Limited relevance
Generic PD often misses the unique challenges educators face when trying to integrate new technologies like AI into real classrooms.
Limited engagement
Traditional PD sessions often lean heavily on lectures and handouts, which don't always translate into hands-on, practical learning.

Technology Meets Mission

IYKYK Education is an AI-powered, customizable learning platform built for the future of training—and it proved to be the perfect fit. In just a few weeks, the AI Educators Exchange was up and running with its own online hub, complete with live sessions, AI mentor bots, and hands-on projects.

The IYKYK platform made it easy for our team to learn on the go—with real-world scenarios and AI-powered feedback that felt instantly applicable. Within weeks, we saw higher customer trust, better conversations, and a noticeable lift in Loyalty 2.0 sign-ups.

Building the Exchange

The program was designed around two flexible learning pathways:

The AI Educators Cohort Model
An 8-week guided experience featuring live PD sessions, collaborative projects, peer mentorship, and certification. Educators move together as a community, learning both the "why" and "how" of AI in schools.
The AI Educators À La Carte Module Library
A self-paced catalog of bite-sized online courses. Each module includes interactive activities, AI Teaching Assistants, and a completion certificate.

The IYKYK platform made it possible to:

Deliver customized learning paths
Based on role (teacher, administrator, instructional coach).
Embed hands-on projects
So participants could apply what they learned directly in their classrooms.
Provide instant AI mentorship
Allowing educators to ask questions, brainstorm lesson plans, or troubleshoot challenges 24/7.

Reaching More Educators

By moving online, the Exchange gained the ability to reach far beyond a single school or district. Educators across the country, and eventually around the world, can now access the same high-quality professional learning without the traditional barriers of travel, cost, or scheduling. The platform was built with inclusivity at its core, making it possible for both large urban districts and small rural schools to benefit. Its flexible design allows schools and districts to provide training at scale, while also giving individual educators the opportunity to invest in their own growth at an affordable price.
