AI Literacy Learning Outcome Framework

AAB foundational framework for grade-band, role-based, and context-specific AI literacy outcomes

Summary

Organizes AI literacy outcomes by developmental level, role, and implementation context so standards language can move from concepts to responsible judgement and creation.

Key evidence signals

  • AI literacy outcomes should be age-appropriate and evidence-observable.
  • Learner outcomes, educator capacity, and institutional conditions should be separated.
  • Progressions should move from noticing and explaining to evaluating, designing, and documenting responsible use.

Recommendations

  1. Use grade-band progressions instead of one all-ages competency statement.
  2. Connect each outcome to observable evidence of learning.
  3. Keep adult and workforce outcomes role-based and documentation-aware.
