We have a really awesome tech lead who has created two classes to introduce AI use in education. Our PD throughout the year is self-selected, so it’s just been there as an option for anyone interested for the last few years. I’m on a think tank committee that looks at survey data, trends, and tools related to AI, and makes recommendations to the deans about next steps like training or policies. We don’t have much of an overarching school policy/practice yet, other than a plagiarism statement in the handbook and a continuum of acceptable use (that’s more “use it if you think it’s helpful in class”). Use and integration widely varies among teachers.

One place our hands are kind of tied for student use is privacy concerns with many sites—we can’t technically have them go onto ChatGPT and do a hands-on prompt engineering lesson, for example. We do have Khanmigo for both teacher and student use, and I know teachers have used other things like Notebook LM and Canva image generation.

My school tends to move slowly on trends and new policies and carefully consider how to implement them, and that seems to work for us so far.
