Dr. Kecia Waddell

I'm Dr. Kecia Waddell, a 30-year K-12 veteran now leading AI strategy for districts that put people first. I partner with superintendents and directors to leverage AI for transformative workflows—from policy to practice—unlocking efficiencies, boosting equity, and keeping the human spark alive.There's nothing like the glow on a learner's face when their teacher's AI prompt turns sight words into a story anchored in the student's interests. Those moments showed me AI's potential and inspired my mission.Beyond the classroom, I design AI literacy and workforce training programs for justice-impacted individuals and returning citizens through Waddell Instructional Design & Training (WIDT). This work reinforces what I believe: digital literacy isn't just about tools—it's about trust, transformation, and ensuring technology serves as a bridge, not a barrier.Whether helping educators craft AI-powered learning experiences or empowering returning citizens to navigate our digital world, my mission remains the same: making sure no one gets left behind in our tech-driven future.
