This is for ALL Educators:
As we re-think how we do education in order to better prepare our children for their future in the Age of AI & Robotics, I've put out the 12-volume Cut to the Chase series of booklets for teachers and other educators to use to learn about a number of different aspects of AI in education, and what this future entails. There are multiple volumes presenting things like what a K-12 progression can look like, and examples of what lessons can look like and address for all grade levels and subject areas in middle and high school.
Here, I now include curriculum outlines of what 10-month courses might look like for the main subject areas in high school, where learning about AI and its needed skills, ethics, EELS (SEL), and applications are embedded in them. While the core topics of a traditional and typical first-year course of non-AP level of each subject are preserved, and still utterly vital since our kids should always still 'know things' about the core subjects, modifications MUST be happening if we want to best-prepare kids for their futures living with advanced AI and humanoid robots.
Here are high school level course curricular outlines - these are examples meant to provide the structure and key ideas to consider including in introductory, first-year courses. One can use them as is, or to make copies of and then edit and modify them to fit what is taught in your school or district. Use these in conjunction with the Cut to the Chase examples of lessons that are appropriate for your courses, but to prepare our children for their futures, we must be including and embedding the technologies into every core subject area in order to expose and teach the kids what to consider and learn in the various contexts. We always must emphasize the human first, and technology used to enhance what humans do, approach that allows these advanced technologies to make the world better for humans.
Course Curriculum Guides:
CTE (Career and Technical Education)
To create these in a short period of time, due to the urgency of getting materials like this out to educators so we can begin making shifts in what we teach to prepare students for a world of ever-increasing use of AI and, soon, humanoid robotics, I used ChatGPT 5.5 as the tool to create the curricular outlines and recommendations.
To create a final product for your classroom/school/district, I recommend copying the relevant document(s) to your account, sit down with colleagues, and modify/edit with the details that you decide on, and likely use your own AI chatbots to create specific, detailed curricula and courses. These are meant to be models to use to get ideas and then grow into your specific courses. For mathematics, English, CTE, and Social Studies, of course there are a variety of different specialiizations and levels (regular, honors, AP, etc.) within the disciplines that are taught - for instance, algebra is the focus here for mathematics, so create your own similar guides for geometry and trigonometry, in a similar manner by modifying what you already have or working with an AI to create it in a more timely manner. Use a prompt similar to those provided in each guide, to produce outlines for any course you need to address.
