Phoenix, AZ - Learning Futures & Tech Media Meeting

2026: AI Fluency vs. Literacy & the CRAFT Curriculum Trend

Learning Counsel News Media will be onsite to record local leaders sharing good news and providing an incredible day of learning from our national research.

In today’s rapidly shifting educational landscape, schools face eroding trust, instability, and mounting pressure to deliver meaningful outcomes. At the same time, communities are seeking ways to reclaim connection, purpose, and agency. The emerging CRAFT curriculum—Create, Rig, Apply, Fuse, Thrive—offers a human-first, locally grounded approach to learning, fostering practical problem-solving, entrepreneurial skills, and pathways to independent livelihoods. Find out about crafting your own CRAFT curriculum offering.

The day will also introduce next-level Omni-AI schooling, which integrates multiple AI systems with existing operations, allowing schools to move beyond incremental technology adoption to a paradigm shift in teaching, learning, and decision-making. This is digital fluency, not mere literacy—the ability for students, educators, and administrators to operate seamlessly within an intelligent, interconnected ecosystem where AI enhances personalization, efficiency, and insight.

Join us for an actionable, research-backed exploration of how AI fluency and the CRAFT curriculum can empower schools to build resilient, future-ready learning environments.
