Artificial Intelligence at Norfolk Public Schools

Norfolk Public Schools believes Artificial Intelligence can be transformational for teaching and learning. The goal of AI use at NPS is to ensure that AI is used in a safe, ethical, and responsible way that supports student learning. We believe that the use of AI can enhance students' critical thinking, problem-solving and collaboration skills, preparing them for the opportunities and challenges of the future.

NPS has developed guidelines for teachers leading the usage of AI in the classroom. We want teachers to use AI as a thought partner and as an assistant. We want teachers to have an understanding of how AI can be used by students and to have conversations with students about AI. Where appropriate, we want students to use AI with guidance from teachers.

As we work to prepare all students for their future, we fully understand that the future includes Artificial Intelligence. NPS is committed to providing teachers and students the opportunity to explore and use AI for the purpose of teaching and learning in a safe, ethical, and responsible way.
