About this episode

Ryan Murray discusses the development of AI teacher certification in Indiana and its implications for educators and students.

AI teacher certification is getting built from scratch in Indiana — and the guy designing it explains exactly how. Ryan Murray, Project Specialist at the Central Indiana Educational Service Center, breaks down the SAIL certification program (Strategic AI Integration and Leadership), a three-tier framework built with educators, higher ed, and industry across the state. Key topics covered: Why rural Indiana districts are ahead of suburban schools on AI adoption, and what suburban districts are getting wrong The three-tier SAIL certification: AI literacy, classroom integration, and global leadership Data privacy and student PII: why ed-tech companies lead with safety and what that means for district buying decisions Why prompt engineering is fundamentally a communication skill, not a tech skill What AI jobs exist right now that nobody is training students for — red teaming, evals, multi-model fluency Ryan's advice to students: get off your computers, talk to people, those skills transfer directly The bottom line: educators are waiting for AI to be proven before they adopt it, but the students in their classrooms right now can't afford to wait.
