About this framework
This page maps how well a school does with AI, across 6 areas of school life and 5 steps (Emerging → Leading). Schools self-rate once a year; the Eduversal team validates each rating during school visits in AI Maturity Admin.

How to use this page
Five steps (Emerging → Leading) across six areas. Each box (5 × 6 = 30) says what the school looks like at that step in that area. Click a box to read the full description plus what to do next, what to never do, and which other pages to read.
Most Eduversal schools in 2026 are honestly at step 1 or 2 on most areas. That is normal. Marking a higher step than the school's real position hurts twice: the Eduversal team will see it, and the school will set goals it cannot reach. Pick two areas to grow by one step each year. Not all six.

Benchmarking and reporting
Network-level annual report. Schools see their position relative to peers. Priorities identified for the coming year.
Phase 2-3 (planned): annual self-assessment writes to Firestore
ai_maturity_assessments/{schoolId}_{academicYear};
Cloud Function maintains network-level aggregates; appraisal team validates from CH /ai-maturity-admin.
