Generative AI Literacy

AI literacy is the knowledge and skills that enable people to critically understand, evaluate, and use AI systems and tools to safely and effectively participate in an increasingly digital world

Jericho's "Core Beliefs" around AI in Education

At Jericho, we believe artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance learning when used responsibly, ethically, and equitably. Guided by input from our committees, educators, students, and families, we’ve identified six core principles that shape how we approach AI in our schools.

Transparency

We commit to open communication about how AI is used. 

Students, parents, and staff will always know what AI tools are being implemented and why.

Ethical Use

AI must reflect our district’s values. 

We will use these tools in ways that respect individual rights, uphold privacy, and support responsible digital citizenship.

Accessibility and Opportunity

AI should expand—not limit—access to learning. 

We aim to use AI to promote inclusion, reduce bias, and ensure every student benefits from new opportunities.

Accountability

Humans remain responsible for all AI-assisted decisions. 

Educators and leaders will oversee AI systems to ensure fairness, accuracy, and alignment with educational goals.

Security and Privacy

Protecting student and staff data is non-negotiable. 

We follow federal and state laws - including CIPA, COPPA, FERPA, and Ed Law 2-d to safeguard privacy and maintain trust.

Continuous Improvement

AI is evolving, and so are we. 

We regularly review our practices, gather feedback, and refine our approach to ensure AI continues to serve students’ best interests.

Note:
These beliefs guide our decisions rather than prescribe one-size-fits-all rules. AI will look different across subjects—what’s effective in English may differ from how it’s used in Math or Science. Our goal is to collaborate with educators and the community to keep these beliefs relevant and meaningful.
