Here is a useful guide for AI (in schools / US of A context).
The guide begins with a section on how to use and why to use the guide.
The second section focuses on ethical issues - ensuring this is at the very front of any consideration for the use /integration of AI into teaching and learning.
Discussions on the impact on students', risk and benefits and teacher perspectives follow.
The guide towards determining AI policies is then introduced and discussed. The 'how to create an AI policy' section is useful, drawing on key principles and providing suggestions. The checklist for developing AI policies (page 18) sets out the many parameters that need to be thought through as AI is introduced into the school curriculum.
A series of case studies and discussion pieces follow, documenting the struggles, challenges and pragmatic approaches adopted along with detailing various strategies and approaches. Discussions revolve around why, how, when and implications for introducing and using AI in schools. Strategies for assessments in the AI age are summarised (pages 30 -31) including the need to design engaging assessments, using paper based materials, having in-class assignments and assessments, adding oral assessments, emphasising the learning process, helping students understand the implications of using AI, clearly spelling out what is and what is not acceptable when using AI, and more frequent low stakes assignments.
A range of curated resources are provided for follow up and reference.
All in, a realistic documentation of how AI impacts on day to day school systems and environments. The pros and cons are drawn from case studies. The teacher voice comes through well and their perspectives and experiences are valued. Principles derived are relevant across educational sectors.
