AI & Academic Integrity

Generative AI complicates familiar distinctions among assistance, revision, collaboration, and authorship. Useful policy has to protect student learning while leaving room for teacher judgment.

AI policy begins with the purpose of the assignment and the boundary between assistance and authorship.

Practical Policy

Define permitted and prohibited uses in language connected to the actual learning task, not to technology in the abstract.

Ethical Boundaries

Make authorship, attribution, privacy, access, and accountability visible parts of the assignment.

Student Learning

Ask whether a tool supports the targeted thinking or replaces the very practice students are meant to develop.

Teacher Judgment

Use process evidence, conversation, drafts, and knowledge of the student rather than treating detection scores as proof.

Curriculum, Assessment, and Technology

Curriculum Design

Build from questions and evidence

Organize courses and units around significant questions, disciplinary practices, carefully selected evidence, and a sequence of tasks that makes increasingly independent work possible.

Assessment Design

Make the target clear

Align prompts, criteria, feedback, and classroom preparation so that an assessment measures the intended reasoning rather than hidden expectations or avoidable procedural confusion.

Educational Technology

Use tools in service of the task

Choose technology for a specific instructional purpose, consider access and privacy, and retain a workable path when the tool fails or distracts from the learning goal.

Workshops, Speaking, and Collaboration

These are areas for focused conversation, resource development, and professional collaboration.

Workshops / Speaking

Topics may include AI and academic integrity, historical thinking, research and writing, assessment, and educational technology.

Consulting / Collaboration

Collaboration may involve curriculum, assessment, policy review, resource development, or educator-facing materials.
