## The Short Answer

**ibl.ai publishes ten AI courses for k-12, each a complete specification — module outlines, learning outcomes, assessment design, hands-on labs, and cited primary sources. Request access to run one with your cohort. They run on infrastructure where you own all the code and the data, model-agnostic across any LLM, with no per-seat pricing.**

On ibl.ai you own all the code and the data, run it model-agnostic across any LLM, and pay with no per-seat pricing — so you can deploy anywhere, from your own cloud to a fully air-gapped network.

## Which frameworks and regulations do these courses cover?

1EdTech OneRoster, 1EdTech interoperability, CIPA, COPPA, CTE frameworks, District academic integrity policy, FERPA, IDEA, ISTE Standards, Mandatory reporting statutes, NIST AI 600-1, NIST CSF 2.0, Section 504, State PD requirements, State academic standards, State procurement law, State student privacy law, Title VI language access, WCAG 2.2.

## What ships with every course?

- **Facilitator guide.** Session-by-session running order, discussion prompts, and the questions that reliably derail a room.
- **Learner workbook.** Exercises, checklists, and the templates each module's activity produces.
- **Hands-on lab environment.** A sandboxed ibl.ai deployment so exercises run against real agents, not screenshots.
- **Assessment bank.** Scenario questions and rubric criteria mapped to each stated learning outcome.
- **Source bibliography.** Every primary regulation and standard cited on this page, linked and dated.

## Why run AI training on a platform you own?

- **You own the course, not a licence to it.** Course content, learner data, and the platform run inside your perimeter — you own all the code and the data.
- **Model-agnostic delivery.** Run the course's AI components on any LLM — Claude, GPT, Llama, Gemini, Command — and switch anytime.
- **No per-seat training licences.** Usage-based or self-hosted, so cost tracks actual use rather than headcount.
- **Deploy anywhere.** Cloud, private VPC, on-premise, or fully air-gapped — including for cohorts that cannot use public AI tools.

## Frequently asked questions

### What AI courses does ibl.ai offer for k-12?

10 courses covering 1EdTech OneRoster, 1EdTech interoperability, CIPA, COPPA, CTE frameworks, District academic integrity policy and more — for example: The K-12 AI Compliance Stack: FERPA, COPPA, and CIPA; Safe AI Tutoring for Minors: Guardrails and Escalation; AI Lesson Planning Aligned to State Standards. Each publishes its full design: modules, learning outcomes, assessment, and the primary sources it is grounded in.

### How do we get access to these courses?

Request access and we will set it up for your cohort — hosted by ibl.ai, or running against your own deployment. Tell us which courses, the group size, and whether it needs to run inside your own perimeter.

### Can we run k-12 AI training on our own infrastructure?

Yes. ibl.ai is model-agnostic and deploy-anywhere — cloud, private VPC, on-premise, or fully air-gapped — and you own all the code and the data. Cohort data and anything learners upload stay inside your perimeter, which matters for k-12 teams that cannot send work to a public AI tool.

### How much does AI training for k-12 cost?

There is no per-seat pricing — you pay for usage, or self-host and pay only for the infrastructure, so a large rollout does not cost one licence per person. 1.6M+ users across 400+ organizations run the platform this way, including NVIDIA, MIT, and Syracuse University.

### Who are these k-12 courses written for?

Practitioners rather than general audiences — each course names its audience and prerequisites explicitly, and levels range across foundational, intermediate, advanced.
