Welcome to RBUSD’s AI Resource Hub!
This page is your go-to space for exploring how AI and emerging technologies can enhance teaching and learning. You’ll find tools, guides, and tips to help you integrate innovation into your classroom.
These resources are meant to spark reflection, conversation, and collaboration about AI's evolving role in education.
The REAL (Redondo’s Education with AI Leadership) Team was created to guide RBUSD in understanding, adopting, and governing artificial intelligence in education. This taskforce brought together teachers, administrators, and district leaders to make sure our approach to AI was thoughtful, ethical, and student-centered.
 The REAL Team: 
✅ Drafted RBUSD-specific AI guidelines to support responsible implementation.
✅ Evaluated district policies to ensure alignment with AI best practices.
✅ Identified opportunities and challenges in classroom AI use.
✅ Is raising awareness and providing guidance on AI’s role in education.

Instructions for Teachers:
Choose an AI tool you’d like to explore (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, MagicSchool.ai, etc.). Copy and paste the prompt below into the AI tool. You may upload or paste in your current syllabus and the recommended AI Assessment Scale if the tool allows.
AI Prompt:
I’m a secondary teacher updating my course syllabus to align with my school district’s AI guidelines. In our district, teachers have the flexibility to decide how and when students are allowed to use AI tools in their classroom. However, it is important to set clear expectations in the syllabus to protect students, uphold academic integrity, and ensure consistent support for instruction.
Please help me create a short “AI Use Policy” section I can include in my syllabus. It should reflect the level of AI use I plan to allow in my course:
Please keep the paragraph student-friendly and under 150 words. Include language that clarifies expectations for when AI is allowed, and that academic honesty policies still apply.
Optional Follow-Ups to Ask the AI:
Can you rewrite this in simpler or more engaging student language?
Can you turn this policy into a slide for the first day of class?
Can you provide examples of student statements that meet this policy?
Can you help me create an assignment where students reflect on using AI ethically?
AI Use Scale – Teacher Guide
 This sample scale helps you set clear expectations for when and how students can use AI on assignments. It outlines five levels, from Level 0 (AI Free) to Level 4 (AI Exploration), so you can match the AI allowance to your instructional goals.
At Level 1, students may use AI for brainstorming or planning but must create their own final work.
At Level 2, they can collaborate with AI on tasks like drafting or refining but must critically review and edit outputs.
At Level 3, full AI use is allowed as long as students direct the tools responsibly and evaluate accuracy and fairness.
At Level 4, AI can be used creatively for problem-solving and innovation, with students acting as co-pilots alongside the tools.
Any level above 0 requires students to disclose how they used AI, reinforcing digital citizenship, academic honesty, and ethical practice. Think of it as a flexible framework—you choose the level that fits your assignment, subject, and student readiness.
