Inquiry into Generative AI
Inquiry into Generative AI
Join one of our AI inquiry groups at the elementary, middle, and high levels as we explore our overarching question tied to our mission statement:
How can Generative AI contribute to cultivating our vision of developing a resilient and adaptable learning community that fosters the potential of students and adults alike to live well-balanced lives full of meaning, purpose, impact, and joy?
Participants in their developmental level courses will engage in an exploratory phase of inquiry through the following questions:
What is Generative AI, how is it changing the world around us, and why do we need to know about it?
What are our current values and priorities in teaching and learning that guide our use of Generative AI with students?
What Generative AI tools are safe and appropriate for teachers and students to use in a school setting?
How can we effectively support our students and our school community in navigating the complexity of Generative AI?
