Technology is changing quickly, and artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a bigger part of our daily lives. From voice assistants to personalized learning apps, AI is shaping the way we learn and interact with the world. In schools, AI can be a powerful tool to help teachers and students, making learning more personalized and efficient. However, it’s important to use AI wisely to make sure it is safe, fair, and beneficial for everyone. Here are five important rules to follow when using AI in education. 

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more common in schools, teachers and parents need to understand how to use it in a helpful and responsible way. Here are five important rules to follow:

1. Know How AI Helps in Learning – AI can personalize lessons for students, help teachers with grading, and analyze learning patterns. But it's important to remember that technology should support, not replace, human teachers who provide guidance, encouragement, and understanding.
   
   

2. Keep Student Information Safe – AI programs often collect data about students, so it’s important to make sure that information stays private. Schools should use AI tools that follow privacy rules and be clear about how student data is used.
   
   

3. Watch Out for Unfair AI Decisions – Sometimes, AI can make unfair choices because it learns from past information that might not be fair. Teachers should check AI tools to make sure they are treating all students equally.
   
   

4. Understand How AI Makes Choices – AI programs should be easy to understand. If a tool is being used in the classroom, teachers and parents should know how it works and why it makes certain recommendations.
   
   

5. Use AI Responsibly – Students should learn about AI’s strengths and weaknesses. Talking about AI in the classroom can help students think critically and use technology in smart, ethical ways.
   
   

By following these rules, AI can be a helpful tool in education while keeping students’ best interests in mind.

Personnel/Leadership 

Breckenridge Community Schools will support, recruit, and retain highly qualified personnel to collaborate and meet the needs of our students.
