Aledo ISD recognizes that the world is changing rapidly, and artificial intelligence can play a role in how we live, learn, and work when it is used appropriately.Â
We understand that AI presents both opportunities and challenges, and we are approaching its use with thoughtful planning, clear guidance, and a focus on what matters most: student learning, safety, and growth.
By integrating AI with care and purpose, we are committed to supporting our students as they navigate a changing world with confidence, curiosity, and responsibility.Â
As technology continues to evolve, AISD remains flexible in how we use AI and is committed to exploring emerging technology tools that best support AISD's priorities.Â
AI tools can be used to personalize instruction and meet each learner where they are. These tools can help teachers design targeted lessons that address individual needs and support every student’s growth, success, and full potential.Â
AI tools can help students take ownership of their learning by providing personalized support and new ways to explore ideas. AI tools can prepare them to be confident, curious learners now and into the future.
AI tools can help students build future-ready skills like critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability while learning to use technology responsibly in a rapidly changing world.Â
AISD teaches AI literacy through digital citizenship lessons using resources like Common Sense Media to help students build curiosity, creativity, and critical technology skills. While AI is a powerful tool, it is not the solution on its own. Students learn to understand its limits and use it responsibly to support and not to replace their learning.Â
We have thoughtfully implemented policies and support systems to ensure that artificial intelligence is used responsibly and effectively across our district. These guidelines provide clear expectations and guardrails to help all stakeholders navigate the benefits and challenges of AI with confidence.
To mitigate risks and promote ethical use, we continuously update our guidance, training and resources for our students and educators. Ongoing training and support empowers our teachers to thoughtfully integrate AI tools in ways that can enhance instruction and deepen student learning, while upholding our district’s instructional goals.
