K-12 readiness assessment

Grade Your AI Governance

Readiness is the ability to make and repeat sound AI decisions. Find the governance domains that need attention before a broad total hides them.

This eight-domain assessment produces a maturity profile and three next actions. It does not produce an A-F grade, a legal conclusion, or a compliance finding.

Eight domains. Four evidence levels.

Find the next three governance decisions to make.

This guided assessment creates a readiness profile, identifies conditions to verify first, and turns the three lowest domains into owned next actions.

This does not affect the maturity profile. It only helps connect your lowest domains to a relevant next conversation.

Visible methodology

Score the evidence, then act on the profile.

The framework follows four simple rules: use current evidence, record disagreement, resolve priority conditions before chasing a total, and revisit the profile on a defined cadence.

0

Unaddressed

No owner or repeatable practice is evident.

1

Emerging

Informal work exists, but scope, ownership, or evidence is inconsistent.

2

Defined

Roles and processes are documented and used for priority cases.

3

Operational

The process is used across scope, measured, reviewed, and improved.

01

Use a cross-functional group

Include leadership, technology, curriculum, privacy, security, accessibility, procurement, student services, school leaders, and educators. Add legal review as appropriate.

02

Choose the lower level when evidence is missing

A policy on paper is not automatically an operating practice. Record which document, system, completed record, or observed process supports each answer.

03

Give each priority an owner and proof

For the next three actions, name an owner, due date, dependency, and completion evidence. Reassess after material changes and on the district's chosen cadence.

This assessment is educational information. It is not a compliance audit, legal opinion, certification, or guarantee of risk reduction. Districts must evaluate their facts and applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

Primary sources

Sources behind the eight domains.

The readiness domains draw on public risk management, data governance, privacy, and education guidance. These sources inform the planning framework but do not convert its result into a legal conclusion.

Questions districts ask

Assessment questions

What does AI governance readiness mean for a school district?

It means the district has enough ownership, inventory, decision process, data discipline, instructional guidance, controls, evidence, and review capacity to manage AI uses consistently.

Is this a compliance score?

No. It is a planning rubric. It does not establish compliance, certify a product, provide legal advice, or predict that incidents will not occur.

Does the assessment send or save my answers?

No. Answers and scores remain only in this page's memory while it is open. If you allow website analytics, Tenet records only that the assessment was completed, not your scope choice, answers, score, maturity profile, or recommendation.

Who should complete the assessment?

A cross-functional group should complete it with evidence. Include leadership, technology, curriculum, privacy, security, accessibility, procurement, student services, educators, and other roles required by district policy.

What should happen after the assessment?

Select a small number of priority gaps, assign owners and dates, define completion evidence, and reassess after material program changes or on a regular cadence.
