Crafting an AI PolicyUnderstanding and integrating generative AI in education Unsure how to approach the use of generative AI in your classroom or district? Consider these points when
crafting your own AI policy:
1. Defining Purpose and Vision
How will your students ideally use AI? What will AI enable them to do that they’re currently limited in or
struggling with? Define the purpose behind the use of AI in your classroom and cast a compelling vision for
its use. Consider defining how you will assess the impact of its use.
2. Establishing Ethical Use
Consider the ethical issues that AI
can pose, such as bias and misinformation,
academic integrity, accessibility, and diversity,
equity, and inclusion (DEI) concerns. Plan how
you will teach students to critically evaluate AI in
light of these important topics.
3. Safeguarding Privacy and Security
What is safe and advisable for students to use?
Many AI tools have not been designed with the
safety of minors in mind. Consider how you will
teach students to protect themselves and their
privacy and data when using generative AI tools.
4. Choosing Specific AI Tools
What actions would you like students to perform using generative AI tools? Which tools do you want students
to use, and how will they access them? Define certain tools you expect to use in your classroom and outline
any that you will specifically prohibit, including how you will communicate this information to students.
5. Complying with Legal Requirements
Before implementing any policy into your classroom, be sure it complies with any existing school, district, and
state policies and guidelines.
Invite students to consider these questions
when evaluating AI:
● Is the AI-generated content accurate?
How can you test or assess the accuracy?
● Can other credible sources (outside of
generative AI) validate the data or item
produced?
● How does the generated information impact
or influence your thinking on this topic?
● Who is represented in this data? Is the data
inclusive in terms of the material’s scope
and the perspectives that it presents?
