Ai Fluency Framework

A Structured Path to AI Capability Across Every Role

INTRODUCING THE ECC AI FLUENCY FRAMEWORK

AI Fluency at ECC: Building Capacity, Strengthening Judgment, and Leading with Intention

Synopsis: Artificial intelligence is reshaping how colleges operate but success depends on how intentionally we respond. This presentation introduces El Camino College’s AI Fluency Professional Development Framework, a structured, role-based approach designed to strengthen decision-making, extend institutional capacity, and support our workforce. Rather than focusing on tools, this initiative focuses on people, equipping employees at every level to use AI thoughtfully, responsibly, and effectively in their daily work. This is how ECC is preparing to lead in a rapidly changing landscape.
