The Instructional Leaders Initiative of Oklahoma
Educators responding to AI with expertise and humanity
About TILI Ok and People Smart
The Instructional Leaders Initiative of Oklahoma (TILI OK) is a start-up educational consulting and curriculum company launching in Tulsa in the summer of 2026. Building on the background of its director, Kara Saunders (K-12 instructional leader), TILI is taking on the advent of Artificial Intelligence through the lens of an educator by asking two pivotal questions:
How can we use AI to provide cutting edge educational interventions that keep teachers (not computers) at the front lines of real-world education?
How can we leverage the "people smart" skills of educators and others in people-forward professions to make people skills the leading professional skills of the future workforce?
TILI and its sister organization, People Smart, will provide educational products and corporate trainings that answer these questions with creativity and humanity.
