In John’s recent post taken from  “Beyond Tool Proficiency” Nick Potkalitsky argues that the real work of AI-in-education begins after teachers learn to click the buttons. His conference takeaway is that schools that move past “Which prompt do I copy?” toward system-level AI literacy—mindset, ethics, and design thinking—progress fastest, while “reactive” sites stall at showcase demos.

Take-aways for PSA….

• Map, don’t reinvent. Use Nick’s three pillars (mindset, systemic integration, local context) as a meta-filter when choosing elements from each framework.

• • Adopt UNESCO student & teacher competencies for baseline alignment.

  • Layer ISTE’s digital-citizenship AI indicators for policy and equity language.

  • Plug DigCompEdu-AI activities into PD workshops to keep sessions hands-on.

    Fast start:

• Depth track: Offer elective modules built around the 12 Generative-AI competencies for educators or learners who want to move from “using ChatGPT” to designing, critiquing, and coding with Gen AI.

• Continuous reflection: Emulate ISTE’s annual review—schedule an AI-in-practice retrospective each semesterto update resources, surface local successes, and guard against “demo drift.”

By weaving these pieces, PSA can honour Nick Potkalitsky’s push “beyond tool proficiency” while standing on the solid scaffolding global bodies have already built.

ChatGPTo3 generated the following editable version of a “single-slide crosswalk” that lines up two-or-more frameworks side-by-side so educators can see, at a glance, how their elements correspond.

This is a test.
