Our Four Core Initiatives
Each initiative supports a core pillar of our responsible AI framework
and can operate independently or in concert.
Aspire Academy
Training School Leaders to Champion AI
We train Assistant Principals, Deans, and site-based leaders to become trusted guides for AI implementation in their schools.
- Aspire AI Champion Program (6-week, cohort-based)
- Live virtual instruction, peer learning, and certification
- Tracks for APs, principals, and district leaders
Why It Matters: Schools need confident, informed leaders—not more pressure on teachers.

Co-Creating Real Tools with Educators
Aspire Labs is our venture studio. We build tools like Snap2Grade with and for educators—based on real classroom challenges.
- Co-creation sprints with educators and leaders
- District-exclusive tool design options
- FERPA-aligned tools with local data control
Why It Matters: Educators deserve tools that solve real problems—not vendor experiments

Vetting EdTech for Privacy, Equity, and Transparency
Schools need help knowing which AI tools to trust. Aspire TrustED offers a vendor certification process that helps districts evaluate tools—and vendors prove credibility.
- 3-tier certification: Self-Attest, Aspire-Reviewed, Verified
- District-ready procurement language and data practices
- Free access for schools; paid by vendors
Why It Matters: Districts need help vetting AI tools before trust or compliance breaks down.

Ongoing Support After the Program Ends
Most initiatives stop when the learning ends. Aspire Compass keeps the momentum going with practical resources and a support network for alumni schools.
- AI policy templates, playbooks, and case studies
- Webinars, advisory calls, and peer community
- Long-term support as tech and policy evolve
Why It Matters: Momentum fades without long-term support—we help districts stay ready.
