AI Literacy Without the Tech Jargon

You don’t need to be a tech expert to understand AI. This program breaks down how AI tools actually work in clear, practical language so professionals can confidently engage with them. Participants gain the foundational knowledge needed to navigate AI in classrooms, counseling, assessment, and professional practice.

Built on Law, Ethics, and Professional Standards

AI use in education and mental health settings carries real legal and ethical responsibilities. This course connects AI use directly to professional standards, privacy laws, and ethical decision-making frameworks. Participants learn how to reduce risk while maintaining responsible and compliant practice.

Practical Guidance for Real-World Settings

This program focuses on what professionals actually need to know to work responsibly with AI. Through real examples and applied scenarios, participants learn how to evaluate tools, set boundaries, and make informed decisions about AI use in educational and clinical environments.

About the course

This home-study course provides applied training in AI literacy and digital citizenship for helping professionals working in schools and clinical practice. It explicitly ties AI tool use to law and ethics obligations, including confidentiality and privacy requirements and professional ethical responsibilities. The course addresses how AI systems handle data, where risk can enter workflows, and how to implement safer practices for communication, documentation, and decision support. Participants complete knowledge checks along the way to gauge learning.

Juni

Hi, I’m Juni. I’ll be guiding you through this program as we explore what artificial intelligence means for educators, school psychologists, and mental health professionals. My role is to help make AI understandable, practical, and relevant to the real decisions you make in classrooms, assessments, counseling, and professional practice. Together, we’ll look at how AI tools work, where the risks and responsibilities are, and how laws, ethics, and professional judgment guide responsible use. My goal is to help you build the confidence and clarity you need to navigate AI thoughtfully in your work.
