Continuing professional development for teachers within the framework of AI competencies

The UNESCO Artificial Intelligence Competency Framework for Teachers serves as a foundational guide for educational systems aiming to integrate AI technologies into the classroom. The framework emphasizes the necessity of preparing educators to utilize these tools in an ethical, critical, and relevant manner.

In the Dominican Republic, the adoption of these guidelines necessitates a structural shift in both initial teacher training and ongoing professional development. This transition is intended to align local educational practices with international standards for AI literacy and pedagogical application.
