Scaling Innovation:
A Playbook for Districtwide AI Strategy
on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 from 3:00-4:00PM ET

Building districtwide AI guidance is one of the most pressing challenges school systems face right now. In this #100DistrictConversations spotlight, Throughline Learning will explore the Denver Public Schools (DPS) approach to learn how one of the country's largest urban districts has developed a living AI playbook that gives teachers, administrators, students, and families clear, actionable direction as AI becomes a bigger part of daily school life.

We'll dig into how DPS built their guidance from the ground up, what values and principles shaped it, how they've structured recommended use cases across different roles, and what they've learned along the way. We'll also hear how the district applies their guidance to serve multilingual learners, special education students, and UDL principles, and what it looks like to keep policy and messaging evolving as the technology continues to change.

Whether your district is just starting to draft its first AI guidance document or looking to strengthen what you already have, this conversation will provide concrete practices and frameworks you can bring home.

Featuring:

• Lucas Mund, Manager of Educational Technology, Denver Public Schools
• Shawn Rubin, Executive Director, Throughline Learning
