The Challenge

Building AI Readiness Before Adoption

Prior to implementing Google AI Pro for Education, Ysleta identified critical factors for successful AI adoption:

First, the district emphasized user readiness, requiring teachers, students, and staff to develop a strong foundation in AI literacy. This included understanding applicable laws, ethical considerations, and guidelines for responsible use. Ysleta also placed significant importance on security and privacy, mandating that any AI solution meet strict compliance requirements and safeguard sensitive data.

Finally, the district outlined clear operational efficiency goals, focusing on reducing time burdens, streamlining workflows, and enabling educators to engage in more creative and innovative instructional practices beyond routine content delivery.
