Building Human-Centered Dispositions for an AI-Ready School

This session invites participants to reimagine AI integration through the habits of mind that make learning deeply human: curiosity, empathy, ethical discernment, and reflective practice.

Building on Dr. Jordan Mroziak’s work in AI policy and literacy, community engagement, and design thinking, we will explore practical routines and protocols that nurture these dispositions—helping classrooms and teams grow not only more capable with AI, but also more attuned to one another.

About the facilitator

Jordan Mroziak’s work sits at the confluence of artificial intelligence, learning design, and social imagination. With a deep-rooted commitment to equity and community, he has architected some of the most forward-thinking educational interventions in AI literacy. As director of the EDSAFE AI Alliance, he catalyzed national and international dialogues on safe, ethical, and inclusive AI in education. He led the design of governance frameworks and professional fellowships that equipped educators, policymakers, and technologists to navigate the complexities of AI implementation—always with an emphasis on justice, human dignity, and collective wisdom. His leadership in launching the inaugural National AI Literacy Day stands as a testament to his ability to transform abstract policy into tangible public engagement.

A boundary-spanning learning designer, Jordan brings a poetic sensibility to the structure of learning environments, embedding curiosity, empathy, and joy into systems too often constrained by compliance. Whether designing globally distributed STEAM maker kits for children, authoring culturally responsive computer science curricula for Middle Eastern schools, or guiding faculty in reimagining their pedagogy through emergent technologies, his work foregrounds not only what students learn, but how and why. He treats design as an act of care—where technological fluency and aesthetic pedagogy intertwine to cultivate learners who can not only decode the algorithms around them but also reimagine their purpose.

In all this, Jordan moves with both strategic acuity and artistic intent, creating bridges between sectors, silos, and disciplines. His practice is not simply about integrating AI into classrooms, but about inviting communities to shape the ethical and imaginative contours of the technologies that shape them.
