This month, leaders across Orange County gathered to chart their progress and possibilities during our AI Policy & AI Guidance workshop. The room buzzed with reflection, strategy, and shared vision as district teams mapped their timelines—exploring, piloting, scaling, and sustaining AI-powered learning.
🔍 What We Explored:
Timeline mapping to visualize each district’s AI progress
Personalizing the timeline with key team member names to help enrich storytelling
Westminster's journey from teacher PD to board policy
Anaheim's journey to collect feedback from educational partners - teachers, students, parents, etc. - throughout their process
Cross-district connections through gallery walks and share-outs
📸 Workshop Moments: From whiteboard timelines to collaborative planning tables, the photos tell the story best. Scroll below for some snapshots of the day’s energy and creativity in motion

💡 Next Steps: We’re working on our May 12 OC AI Forward agenda and plan to designate follow-up work time with similar district/similar phase workgroups. Email wkriesel@ocde.us if you have a preference or a need for this May 12 workgroup opportunity.
Together, we’re not just adopting AI. We’re designing the future of learning.
Onward,
Wes Kriesel
AI Education Lead, OCDE
