AI Frameworks & Resources for Schools and Families

Two free, practical AI frameworks: one for schools and teachers, one for parents and kids. Each is a short Coursera-style course you can work through at your own pace, with interactive tools, templates, and the research behind every recommendation.

These frameworks synthesise the leading national and international guidance into something you can actually use on Monday. The full source library is below, so you can go straight to the originals whenever you want.
