Aldeya was founded by Sarah Nandi, a bilingual K–12 classroom teacher who holds an M.Ed. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. After years of teaching in bilingual and Title I settings and working at the district level on technology integration and professional development, she saw too many edtech solutions built by people who had never set foot in a classroom. Aldeya LLC, based in New York City, is the resource she wished she'd had.
The name comes from aldea — Spanish for village. Because the best professional development doesn't come from a vendor. It comes from your people.
"AI should be something that happens with educators rather than something that just happens to them."
Common Questions
AI literacy for teachers means understanding what AI tools actually do, how to use them responsibly in a classroom context, and how to help students think critically about AI. It goes beyond tool tutorials to include ethics, equity, privacy, and pedagogy.
AI literacy means understanding what AI is, how it works, and how to evaluate it critically — including its limitations, biases, and implications for students. AI fluency goes a step further: it's the ability to work with AI in meaningful ways, using it to create, problem-solve, and adapt in classroom contexts. Most educators need both. Literacy without fluency leaves teachers informed but stuck. Fluency without literacy produces tool dependence without judgment. Aldeya's work is built around developing both — equipping educators to transition from passive AI users to architects of the AI-integrated classroom.
