Description¶

The report's fifth use case shows Indian Prairie SD's task force building 'mechanisms for continuous evaluation and refinement,' including an AI Playbook of best practices for elementary, middle, and high school students with accessible, student-focused wording, iterated based on feedback and posted on the district website. The task force met regularly to track effects on teaching and learning, professional learning impact, ethical considerations and data protections, and family communication—implementing Recommendation 5 for AI-specific evaluation and accountability.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Regular task force meetings with built-in review cycles and stakeholder oversight
• publicly available student-facing and family-facing guidance

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• K-12 students
• families
• district staff

Target Learning Goals¶

• responsible AI use at school and home
• transparent communication about tool use and data

Related Strategies¶

• Set clear AI guardrails positioning AI as a complement to human instruction with age-appropriate progressions
• Establish AI-specific evaluation and accountability systems using independent audits, role-based dashboards, and privacy and equity safeguards
• Integrate co-design and continuous feedback loops into AI evaluation processes
• Use student experience data in an iterative inquire-change-monitor cycle with students as partners
• Convene cross-functional generative AI task forces to guide ethical adoption decisions and procurement
• Establish continuous improvement cycles that monitor and evaluate POG implementation
