Our goal is to integrate AI tools thoughtfully into our educational framework, empowering teachers to make informed decisions about incorporating AI into their teaching practices. This aligns with our school's dedication to academic integrity and anti-plagiarism.
Teachers bear the responsibility for clear communication with students, setting out the permitted uses of AI tools and outlining any specific guidelines or restrictions.
This strategy promotes a balanced and ethical approach to AI usage in our learning environment, granting teachers the freedom to choose the most appropriate AI application for their courses and individual assignments. Following the integration of AI, students will engage in reflection regarding their learning process, critical thinking abilities, and integrity. Students will have the opportunity to confer with their teachers to exchange insights on their AI-assisted learning experiences and educational growth.
Students are not allowed to use Generative AI tools at any point during the academic assignment.
Students may use advanced automated tools on this assignment if they obtain prior permission from the teacher in the initial stages of the assessment for brainstorming and idea generation or checking ideas.
AI can be used to support the focus on the final quality of writing, word choice, and expression. AI can be used in the following ways, but not limited to:
Outlining entire responses or converting notes (or audio transcriptions) into organized ideas.
Students may use advanced automated tools on the assignment, but must properly document and credit their use.
AI use is permitted because the outcome of the assessment is judged on the earlier organization, idea generation, discussion, orals, and other methods.
WWRSD adopted the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS), developed by Mike Perkins, Jasper Roe, and Jason MacVaugh, to guide AI use in assessments. The AIAS, originating from discussions at Edith Cowan University, provides a nuanced approach beyond a simple "yes" or "no" to AI.
Please Note for Options 2 - 4: Any student work submitted using AI tools should clearly indicate what work is the student’s work and what part is generated by the AI. In such cases, no more than 25% of the student work should be generated by AI.
Parents must review, acknowledge, and sign off on the AI Integrity Policy found in the Genesis Portal. Parents should support and collaborate with all stakeholders on the ethical use of AI.
Support students in adhering to the Academic Integrity Policy.
Be familiar with the Academic Integrity Policy and what constitutes cheating, Plagiarizing, and the unethical use of AI.
Help to create and contribute to an honest academic environment.
Support teacher discretion and embrace learning opportunities where AI may be appropriately utilized under the supervision of educators.
Students must adhere to the options selected by the teacher. All students are responsible for:
Submitting all electronic written work via their WWRSD domain account ONLY.
Becoming familiar with the Academic Integrity Policy and what constitutes cheating and plagiarizing.
