Phase One
Foundation
Policy, integrity, and data must hold before anything else scales.
1
Establish Clear, Permission-Based Guidance
A policy that tells people what they can do, not just what they cannot.
Key Question Does your policy build responsible use, or just document what is forbidden?
2
Address Academic Integrity Without Weaponizing It
Clear per-assignment expectations that students and teachers can both point to.
Key Question Do students know exactly what is and is not allowed in each assignment?
3
Protect Student Data Without Exception
Named guardrails around what student information can never be pasted into any AI tool.
Key Question Do staff know exactly what student information cannot enter any generative AI tool?
Phase Two
Practice
Grow capacity in adults first, then anchor use to learning that matters.
4
Build Educator Capacity Before Scaling Expectations
Professional learning that supports instructional decisions, not just tool demos.
Key Question Are educators being equipped to make sound instructional decisions, or just taught to use specific tools?
5
Anchor AI in Learning Outcomes, Not Novelty
AI use tied to Surface, Deep, and Transfer Learning, not random classroom experiments.
Key Question Would this use of AI produce better-prepared learners, or shortcuts that undermine development?
Phase Three
Extension
Widen the circle. Reach across student groups, families, and what comes after graduation.
6
Prioritize Equity and Access
Make sure the students who could benefit most are not the ones getting left further behind.
Key Question Who benefits from your AI adoption, and who gets left further behind?
7
Engage Families and the Broader Community
Families informed and involved before decisions reach their kitchen tables by surprise.
Key Question Do families feel informed and included, or surprised by what they eventually learn?
8
Bridge K-12, Higher Education, and Workforce Expectations
Graduates meet what colleges and employers already expect of them with AI.
Key Question Are your students graduating into environments where their AI skills will hold up?
Where You Go Next
Start in Phase One
Mark each of the eight stages above. The Quick-Start Action Plan in the full checklist suggests starting with a policy review this week, then naming gaps rather than rushing to fix them. That conversation is the one worth having first.
