One-term AI education plan: editable planning template with a completed school example
An editable one-term AI education planning template: two pilot activities with owners, dates and review evidence, plus a completed fictional school example that a principal or curriculum coordinator can copy.
What this solves
Principals and curriculum coordinators know they are expected to write digital and AI education into their school plan, but the hard part is the step from the framework to an executable term plan: how to do two genuinely achievable things in one term, and know afterwards whether they worked.
This template does not discuss broad direction. It fixes the term’s planning into a single table: activity, owner, dates, evidence of review. Once the table is filled in, a principal can see what will happen this term without commissioning a consultant.
Learning objectives
After the planning meeting, the school leadership team can:
- Choose two feasible AI education pilot activities for the term (for example one for staff and one for pupils, or adjusted to the school’s situation).
- Assign an owner, dates and collectible review evidence to each activity.
- Connect the activities to the EDB framework’s school-planning requirement (B, p.2) and its cross-subject progression (F, pp.1-6 to 1-10).
- Use the completed fictional example to judge whether a plan is executable rather than merely written down.
Teaching steps
This is a planning-meeting agenda of about 60 minutes (it can be folded into a panel or administrative meeting):
- Opening and shared aim (10 min) — State that this term’s goal is not “full rollout” but completing two pilots and collecting evidence.
- Look at the completed example (10 min) — Project the fictional school example from the attachment and point out what goes in each column and what evidence looks like.
- Choose two pilot activities (15 min) — As a group, choose or adapt two activities from the two worked pilots below as this term’s scope.
- Fill in the planning table (15 min) — Complete each column: activity, owner, dates and review evidence; leave gaps to be finished after the meeting.
- Set the review mechanism (10 min) — Fix the dates and agenda of the mid-term and end-of-term review meetings, and confirm who collects the evidence.
Answer key and marking notes
There is no single right answer, but an executable plan can be checked against the three things below.
Two worked pilot activities (a school can copy, combine or adapt these):
| Pilot activity | Owner | Dates | Evidence of review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Staff consensus workshop: understand the AI literacy framework and the school’s direction | Curriculum coordinator | Week 2 (90 min) | Attendance record, post-session questionnaire, a first draft of the school’s AI-use agreement |
| Cross-subject pilot lesson: one period on “checking an AI answer” (for example in a primary General Studies or junior-secondary Humanities class) | Panel head + the class teacher | Weeks 5-7 (one period per class) | Three anonymised pupil worksheets + a panel review note |
Completed example (a fictional primary school, one term of about 12 weeks):
| Pilot activity | Owner | Dates | Evidence of review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole-school staff workshop on the AI literacy framework | Ms Chan, curriculum coordinator | Week 2 | Attendance record, questionnaire, draft AI-use agreement |
| P5 General Studies lesson: check an AI answer against a source | Mr Lee, General Studies panel head, with the P5 teachers | Weeks 5-7 | Three anonymised worksheets + a panel review note |
| Mid-term and end-of-term review | Ms Chan | Weeks 6 and 12 | Evidence folder + a decision on next term’s scope |
All examples are fictional and do not refer to any real school or person.
Executable-plan checklist:
| Check item | Executable | Needs work |
|---|---|---|
| Activities | Two, clearly scoped, achievable in one term | Too many or vague, beyond staffing |
| Owner | A named person (or post) for each | Only “the panel”, no specific owner |
| Dates | Start/end week or specific dates | Only “this term” |
| Review evidence | Names what to collect (records, samples, questionnaires) | Just “review”, no concrete evidence |
| Framework link | Can point to B p.2 or the F progression | An unrelated activity list |
The key judgement: the evidence column is what matters. If you cannot say “what we will look at afterwards”, the activity cannot be reviewed, which means it has not really been planned.

How this relates to the EDB framework
This resource maps to:
- B (the Blueprint for Digital Education Development in Primary and Secondary Schools (three-fold leaflet), p.2): requires digital and AI education strategies in school development plans with a clear implementation timetable.
- F (the AI Literacy Learning Framework for Primary and Secondary Schools, pp.1-6 to 1-10): sets out cross-subject implementation and progression across four learning stages, to be referenced when planning activities.
