All stakeholders have a responsibility to support AI use within our schools. While we focus on students first, please read on to see the responsibilities of our staff and families as well. All of our responsible use guidelines can be found to the right of this screen.
Students
Expectations:
Use AI tools and applications for educational purposes only:
Educational Purposes: Examples include using AI for research projects, homework assistance, language translation for assignments, or creating art or music as part of a class project.
Non-Educational Purposes: Examples include using AI to play games, chat with friends, or create content not related to schoolwork.
Follow school policies and guidelines:
Ensure that you are using AI tools and applications in a way that is consistent with school policies and guidelines. For example, if the school prohibits the use of certain apps or websites, do not use AI tools to access them.
Protect student privacy:
Do not use AI tools to collect or share personal information without permission. For example, do not input personal details like names, addresses, or phone numbers into AI applications unless it is part of a secure, approved school activity.
Avoid bias and unfairness:
AI can sometimes reflect biases present in the data it was trained on. For example, an AI program trained on biased data might make unfair predictions or suggestions. Be aware of this possibility and report any concerns about bias to your teacher.
Use AI to support your learning experiences:
AI should enhance your learning, not replace it. For example, use AI to get help with math problems, but make sure you still understand the concepts being taught by your teacher.
Be responsible and ethical:
Use AI tools in a way that is fair and honest. For example, do not use AI to cheat on tests or assignments. Report any misuse or problems you encounter to your teacher.
Staff and Families
Students aren’t the only stakeholders who need to adhere to responsible use of AI tools. Staff and families are encouraged to take seriously their role and responsibilities when it comes to AI in education. The acronyms in the graphics linked here should guide our collaborative efforts in this new AI world we all live, work, and play in.
This is still in draft format but it can be used as a resource for teachers to talk about AI in their classrooms.
