How do we cultivate AI literacy across the full spectrum of faculty readiness—from apprehensive to advancing? This session unveils a human-centered, data-informed AI strategy developed at Fort Lewis College, a rural NASNTI institution. Grounded in faculty survey data and responsive to the unique needs of Native American-serving contexts, our approach employs two complementary frameworks—an AI Course Design Framework and an AI Faculty Engagement Framework—to create scalable, values-driven pathways for pedagogical transformation. Participants will explore how equity-centered strategy design, targeted faculty development, and culturally responsive AI integration can spark meaningful institutional change.Keywords: #facultydevelopment #humancenteredAI #equitableintegration
