EVOLVE into AI Readiness

The AI² Readiness System is a facilitated organizational improvement framework. It helps Tribal Education Departments (Agencies) hold meaningful conversations, identify priorities, and develop action plans for responsible AI implementation.

  • Assess readiness across the six EVOLVE domains, from leadership alignment to strategic partnerships
  • Generate professional PDF implementation plans with specific, measurable action steps
  • Includes a User Guide and the full AI² Handbook of guidance and best practices
  • Private by design: responses are stored locally in your browser
The assessment is a planning and conversation tool. It is not a psychometric instrument, certification process, compliance audit, or external evaluation.

The EVOLVE Self-Study Course

Six real scenarios, one for each EVOLVE stage

Work through the decisions a Tribal Education Department director actually faces, at your own pace. Each stage presents a realistic scenario with four different, defensible ways to handle it.

  • Choose the approach closest to how you would respond, then compare the trade-offs of all four
  • Rate your confidence and get added context on the spot when you are unsure
  • Earn a downloadable certificate after completing all six stages
  • Learn how TEDNA responds when a need surfaces: Train, Equip, Develop, Network, and Advance

Indigenous College Guide to Somewhere

A guide for getting to college — and finding the right place to go

Where to go, how to pay for it, and how to know when a campus feels right.

The Indigenous College Guide to Somewhere is TEDNA's A-to-Z playbook for Native high school students in Oklahoma who are getting ready for college. It brings together practical guidance on choosing where to go, paying for college — sometimes for free — and recognizing when a campus feels like the right fit.

Built with Native students in mind and useful for anyone ready to go somewhere, the guide is a starting point for turning college plans into next steps.
