Building & Testing High-Quality Instructional Materials for K-12 Schools
Emphasizing collaborative coaching andcapacity-building
We help educators reimagine assessments and transform teaching practices for the AI era through bespoke, collaborative coaching—either one-on-one or in small groups—not pre-packaged lesson bundles. At AI Literacy Partners, we follow a collaborative coaching model that prioritizes capacity-building.
Work with educators to revise and elevate assessment strategies—from essay critiques and AI-resistant tasks to authentic, process-based evaluations.
Partner with classroom leaders to reimagine instructional approaches, leveraging AItools ethically and creatively to foster critical thinking, digital fluency, and equitablelearning.
Choose from short-term pilots or deeper partnerships—tailored to your context,whether you're designing a revised assessment unit, implementing scaffoldedprocess-driven tasks, or embedding AI‑resilient pedagogies throughout instruction.

Effective assessmentsare standards-aligned, process-oriented, culturally responsive, and designed to evaluateauthentic thinking and learning rather than information recall. They should be AI-resilient andfocus on skills that demonstrate genuine understanding.
We apply universal design for learning (UDL) principles to create multiple pathways for students to demonstrate their thinking and learning, ensuring equitable access regardless of ability, background, or learning style.
Yes. We helped educators design assessments that honor diverse perspectives, integrate varied cultural contexts, and create opportunities for all students to connect their learning to their lived experiences and communities.
Our coaching spans ELA, Math, and History, with flexibility to adapt our approach to additional subjects. We work across grade levels, tailoring assessment strategies to meet developmental needs and standards requirements.
We follow a collaborative framework: needs assessment → pedagogical goal-setting → assessment redesign →classroom implementation → reflection and refinement based on student learning data and teacher feedback.
Yes.We help educators create assessments centered on authentic challenges that require students to apply their thinking to real-world problems, fostering critical analysis and creative problem-solving.
We ensure every assessment strategy and task directly connects to relevant standards while focusing on deeper evaluation of student thinking and learning processes, not just content coverage.
Absolutely. We work within your current instructional models and assessment systems,enhancing and refining them rather than replacing them entirely.
Typically, you'll see initial redesigned assessments and coaching outcomes within 2–3 months of starting, depending on your engagement tier and specific focus areas.

Mike Kentz was the best PD speaker we have had in my recent memory. His presentation on AI was relevant, relatable, and succinct. His tone and pacing as he was going through his slides hit the target between being informative and engaging, with a perfect dose of humor. As a technophobe, it actually encouraged me to approach the concept of AI with curiosity instead of fear-a mindblower for me! There are so many takeaways that I am mulling over from this presentation. I strongly encourage you to have Mike speak at an all-school assembly on this extremely relevant, controversial topic.
Mike is a charismatic and engaging presenter, who takes into account the comfort levels of his audience. He was able to get a feel for what my faculty, staff, and administrators needed and gave practice opportunities to build a comfortability with using AI. We highly recommend him and think some portions of his presentation could even be used for a student facing presentation.
The AI PD session was EXCELLENT. Mike Kentz had so much credibility both from his background and his realistic, matter of fact approach to AI. I already knew a lot of what he had to say but his presentation left me feeling that I now had an ordered and coherent set of thoughts and ideas. I was pleased to go beyond Chat-GPT and to get help shaping more precise prompts. I would be happy to do more PD on the chat and chat grading that Mike referred to.
What makes Mike Kentz stand out, especially with educators as the primary audience, is that he doesn't "perform," he connects. His greatest strength with educators is connection. Faculty feel he gets them, respects them, understands their challenges--and affirms those challenges. And from this connection, he then gently opens up new ways of thinking about AI. That is golden!
