HS Artificial Intelligence Guidelines

At JIS, we believe that:

We must equip students for a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies will play an increasingly significant role.
As AI evolves, we are committed to lifelong learning to ensure that our teaching and learning practices remain relevant. As such, we cannot ignore AI. Just as we foster creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, we must promote responsible AI use that maximizes its benefits, minimizes potential risks and safeguards academic integrity.
We believe that a balanced education integrates hands-on, tangible methods of learning with the advanced capabilities of learning with technology. By integrating both approaches, students gain proficienc`y in fundamental skills through direct interaction while developing digital literacies.
The use of AI tools is part of the real-world learning environment and aligns with our aim to be a pioneering learning community. There is a shared responsibility between faculty and the school administration to equip ourselves with the necessary skills needed to utilize and guide students in the use of AI. To achieve this, we are committed to empowering educators through ongoing professional development opportunities, including learning from colleagues, to integrate AI tools effectively and foster responsible use of AI in classrooms.
These guidelines will be reviewed on a biannual basis at a minimum.

Student Guidelines:

Always get your teacher’s approval before using AI on assignments or other school tasks. If you are unclear about how you are allowed to use AI in a task, ask your teacher for clarification.
Problem-solve using your own knowledge and skills first before seeking AI assistance.
View AI as a creative partner. Always consider AI as a collaborative tool that enhances your creative and problem-solving abilities. Do not merely outsource your tasks to AI; instead, use it to extend your own ideas and solutions.
Critically evaluate information that you obtained from AI with other sources, just as you would with any information to ensure accuracy and reliability. AI models can give biased or inaccurate results so it’s important to cross-reference with multiple sources.
Give credit to AI by describing how the tool was used to help you in your tasks. Failure to give credit to AI will be considered plagiarism. Here are some examples of how you might acknowledge use of AI tools.
If you directly quote or paraphrase from AI, please cite your source using a formal citation style. At JIS we recommend the MLA citation style.
For all externally assessed work, the external body’s A.I. policies will apply:

The JIS AI Use Scale will help communicate appropriate use to students.
