Curriculum Framework
Explore the curriculum by developmental band. Each section opens the full framework for that age range, helping schools navigate the progression from early foundations in thinking and process to advanced judgment, cognitive extension, and ethical human–AI collaboration.
The curriculum is organized in six developmental band levels
Select a band below to read the full curriculum framework for that stage.
Foundational thinking, process, machine awareness, and early critical detection
Students build early foundations in metacognition, patterns, visible thinking, awareness of machine interaction, and noticing when systems are wrong, incomplete, unfair, or malfunctioning.
Guided interaction, simple construction, and early audit
Students begin interacting with simple AI-like systems, building small knowledge-based or classificatory systems, and learning to distinguish problem, assumptions, model, output, and human check.
Supervised use, simple design, comparison of systems, and ethical beginnings
Students begin supervised use of real AI systems, compare system families, design small systems, test for bias and weak assumptions, and start structured ethical reflection.
Multimodal systems, workflows, authenticity, and vibe coding
Students compare digital tool families, work across text, image, audio, and code, and learn that realistic and polished outputs are not automatically true, original, or acceptable.
Independent use, workflow design, model awareness, and applied ethical judgment
Students use AI more independently, design multi-step workflows, study how model behavior shapes outputs, verify claims, and evaluate ethical and civic issues across subjects.
Cognitive extension, advanced judgment, ethics, and the future of work
Students examine AI as cognitive extension, reflect on the risk of cognitive replacement, design advanced workflows, and engage deeply with ethics, labor-market transformation, and human agency.
