AI-Ready Educator Certification

The Riverside County Office of Education (RCOE) has partnered with Alludo to introduce the AI-Ready Educator Certification program. The constantly evolving and expanding impact of AI in all industries requires that educators master AI in order to prepare students for their future.

The AI-Ready Educator Certification program is an asynchronous online curriculum designed to help educators develop the knowledge and skills needed to effectively and responsibly integrate AI into their teaching practice. 

The program reflects the belief that AI should empower educators to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in their students.
