AI Policy, Statement, & PD Plan

[Amber Sorenson]

We are in the planning stages of developing something to guide staff in the purposeful and effective use of AI for teacher things and with students. Has anyone developed an AI policy, statement, guiding documents, professional development opportunities, or anything else related to AI? If so, I'd love to connect with you!

Here's a list of a bunch of Syllabi Policies I've been following: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RMVwzjc1o0Mi8Blw_-JUTcXv02b2WRH86vw7mi16W3U/edit#heading=h.1cykjn2vg2wx

I also created this one: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hYid3ygJTpdciwDP6bqq3Yoy7QjA2LscxMFMjb2FRxs/edit

Thanks Jon! Do you know of any district in the TC Metro that have a policy or statement in place? I also don't see any guidance from MDE either.

Amber,

I am not aware of any that have that in place at a school board level. That is something that will take months to tweak, vote one, review, vote again...

We have individual programs in Intermediate District 287 that are creating their own based on what I sent. For instance, at Northern Star Online, we are working with the attached document.

Hi Everyone:

 

I’m not aware of any district that has adopted a board level policy on AI at this point. As Jon indicated that takes time, and I wonder if school districts might be better off to issue guidance to staff since 1) AI is changing so fast and 2) that creates more flexibility for teachers to use AI with students in ways that enhance instruction and learning. Also, how you approach AI use based on grade levels can differ widely.

 

I was just reading an article in Education Week that is headlined, “Schools Want Guidance on AI Use in Classrooms. States Are Not Providing It, Report Says.” According to the article, only 2% of states are undertaking statewide initiatives on AI guidance. See https://www.edweek.org/technology/schools-want-guidance-on-ai-use-in-classrooms-states-are-not-providing-it-report-says/2023/09

 

I have seen more information on the higher education front, and maybe this is a place to start, along with what Jon suggests. I most recently took a look at this one from Montclair State University. https://www.montclair.edu/faculty-excellence/teaching-resources/clear-course-design/practical-responses-to-chat-gpt/

 

This might be a great topic for our first KIC meeting in October. I’ll put it on the agenda.

 

Mary
