Textbook: HMH Into Literature (Grade 7)
The Gifted and Talented class is differentiated according to the content, process, and product model seen in the graphic. The rigor, depth, and complexity of materials are designed to challenge students and foster critical thinking skills.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a supplemental educational tool that can be beneficial when used correctly and within the framework contained in the corresponding board policy. Comprehensive professional development and training focusing on effective integration and ethical concerns are required for all teachers, staff, and students prior to initial use and periodically as appropriate for effective implementation.
Access Restrictions:
● K4–Grade 5: Student use of platforms that allow direct interaction with generative AI tools is prohibited.
● Grades 6–12: Students may only use AI tools that have been explicitly vetted and approved by the District. Teachers are prohibited from assigning any AI platform not included on the District approved list.
The use of District-approved AI tools is at the teacher's discretion based on specific learning goals and content standards. Unauthorized student AI use on assignments is considered a violation of the Behavior Code and will be treated as plagiarism under Board Policy JCDA. Students will be informed at the beginning of each class as to the ability to utilize AI for that course, including the degree that AI can be used for specific assignments. The permitted use of AI for each course will be provided to students and parents/guardians in the course syllabus.
Redo/Retake/RevisionPolicies:
Policy Guidelines:
It is the responsibility of the student to initiate the process of re-taking an assessment.
Only major assessments are eligible for retake, redo, or revision.
All reassessments must be completed by the end of the grading period in which the original assessment was assigned.
Students must complete teacher-directed remediation or relearning before reassessment.
The teacher and student will coordinate the reassessment during an agreed-upon intervention time, such as before school, during Advisory, lunch, or after school.
An alternate assessment or revised learning task may be used to demonstrate mastery of the same standards measured by the original assessment.
The highest score earned will replace the previous score in the gradebook.
School procedures must be implemented consistently across all grade levels and content areas.
