2. AI-Supported Pedagogy

Using AI for lesson plans, worksheets, parent communication, and supporting different ability levels.

3. Supporting Student AI Literacy

Teaching students to use AI responsibly — verifying outputs, declaring AI use, building classroom policy.

4. AI Ethics & Privacy

Protecting student data, recognizing bias, verifying religious or factual content, responsible AI use.

5. Personal & Professional Development

Building habits to keep learning about AI: communities, courses, regular tool experimentation.

+ Pakistan-specific additions

5 extra questions on code-switching, ELL support, load-shedding context, parent communication burden.

Why this assessment

How it compares to other AI assessments

Most AI literacy assessments are global, English-only, or technical (programming, data science). Here's how this one is different.

AI Readiness
An educator's or school's preparedness to integrate artificial intelligence into teaching, learning, and administration. Includes understanding of AI capabilities, practical skills, ethical awareness, and institutional capacity.
UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Teachers (2024)
Published in September 2024 by UNESCO's Education Sector. Defines 5 core AI competencies for teachers: Understanding AI, AI-Supported Pedagogy, Supporting Student AI Literacy, AI Ethics & Responsible Use, and Personal & Professional Development. The international reference standard for teacher AI literacy.
Foundational tier (0–25)
Just starting the AI journey. Limited prior exposure to generative AI tools. Significant learning ahead but the foundation can be built.
Developing tier (26–50)
Some progress and identifiable strengths. Has tried AI tools, beginning to integrate them into practice. Building fluency.
Established tier (51–75)
Well underway, capable practitioner. Uses AI regularly, understands limitations, applies it across multiple teaching tasks.
Leading tier (76–100)
Best in class, ready to mentor others. Deep AI fluency, has shaped classroom or school AI policy, helps colleagues build the skill.
Code-switching prompting
Pakistan-specific AI skill: writing AI prompts in English (where models reason most reliably) but requesting Urdu output. The single most important prompting skill for bilingual Pakistani classrooms. Not covered by the global UNESCO framework — added by Urdu AI × PakEducate.
ELL (English Language Learner) support
Using AI to scaffold for students still learning English. Includes vocabulary banks with bilingual definitions, simplified passages, side-by-side Urdu/English materials. Critical in Pakistan where most students learn English as a second language.
Self-assessment
An assessment based on the participant's own honest self-reporting, not external observation or testing. Snapshot in time, not a definitive measurement of capability. Limitations are clearly disclosed in our methodology page.
