The resolution calls for schools and districts to explore flexible AI learning solutions, such as pre-packaged curriculum modules and online certification opportunities, to ensure broad access to AI education regardless of prior technical experience. It also emphasizes the role of Louisiana's public colleges and universities in providing teacher preparation and continuing education that incorporates AI-focused pedagogy. By affirming its commitment to advancing AI education, the resolution aims to build a future-ready workforce and maintain Louisiana's competitiveness in STEM fields, while also recognizing the importance of public-private partnerships in achieving these educational goals.
