Teacher Guidelines

ELA Standards Introduction & Guiding Principles (DRAFT)

These English Standards serve as the expectations of what students must master to be prepared for life beyond high school.  They were developed with the following specific goals in mind: 

10. Utilize technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) as tools for teaching and learning around these ELA standards, but also as a topic of instruction, in a safe, ethical, and responsible manner.  

Since the last revision of these ELA standards, the role of technology and the power of AI in our lives has exploded. Technology has transformed how we communicate—how we read, write, gather information, and present our ideas. AI has the power to transform all of that and to make access to knowledge more efficient and broader than ever

thought possible. Both bring immense risks—around privacy and security of data, cheating and ethical issues, and the dampening of the benefits of iteration and struggle in the learning process. Students must know how to use both tools—technology and AI—effectively, ethically, and responsibly.
