Curriculum and facilitation
Accessible instruction, fictional practice, learner choice, safety routines, evaluation, and a partner debrief.
Community partner onboarding
Partner Readiness Guide
How to host a respectful, accessible, safe, and measurable four-session pilot.
Shared responsibility
A facilitator cannot supply the local support system alone.
People and place
Accessible venue or online setup, trusted staff, device help, local communications, and escalation channels.
Fit and evidence
Cohort size, schedule, supports, expectations, feedback, and honest interpretation of results.
Named local contacts
Know who takes over when teaching stops.
- Program lead who confirms scope, schedule, participant communications, and attendance.
- Accessibility contact who can arrange accommodations privately.
- Device-support contact who can help without asking for passwords or taking control of private accounts.
- Privacy or incident contact for accidental disclosure or tool concerns.
- Fraud-support contact with current official reporting and local support channels.
- Emergency and wellbeing contact for distress or an urgent situation.
- Language or interpretation support where the cohort needs it.
Room and technology
Design for dignity, visibility, hearing, and choice.
| Area | Ready means |
|---|---|
| Arrival | Clear directions, accessible entrance, seating choice, washroom access, and time to settle. |
| Display | Large readable type, strong contrast, tested sight lines, captions, and printed alternatives. |
| Audio | Audible facilitator, microphone where needed, low background noise, and hearing supports. |
| Devices | Known device mix, power, Wi-Fi, approved demonstration account, helpers, and a non-digital path. |
| Privacy | No passwords spoken aloud, no private records used, screens positioned appropriately, and a response plan. |
| Pacing | One task at a time, repetition, breaks, questions, and permission to observe or stop. |
Participant communication
Tell people exactly what will—and will not—happen.
Suggested description
“This four-session program introduces a few helpful everyday uses of AI along with privacy, fact-checking, and scam-safety habits. You may observe without creating an account. Practice uses made-up information. The program does not provide medical, legal, financial, or emergency advice.”
- Do not promise that AI is safe, accurate, necessary, or suitable for everyone.
- Do not require disclosure of prior fraud, loss, disability, medical details, or account information.
- Explain the voluntary cohort evaluation and what is stored.
- Provide a way to request accommodations privately before the first session.
Measurement
Use evidence to improve this cohort—not label the learner.
- Share the baseline link before or at the start of session one.
- Share the completion link at the end of session four.
- Offer support without answering for the learner.
- Record participation and accessibility friction separately from personal details.
- Review only cohort-level patterns with response counts and limitations.
- Agree whether a follow-up is appropriate and how learners will receive it.
