Cautions for Implementing AI in Schools

AI offers exciting possibilities for education, but its implementation requires thoughtful oversight to ensure it aligns with ethical standards and supports all students equitably. School leaders should prioritize transparency, equity, and privacy when integrating AI into classrooms. By addressing potential biases and ensuring responsible data use, principals can maximize benefits while minimizing risks.

  • Privacy Protection: Ensure AI tools safeguard student data and comply with privacy laws.
  • Equity: Regularly evaluate AI systems to prevent bias and ensure all students benefit.
  • Transparency: Communicate clearly with families and staff about how AI is used and its impact.

OSPI Guidelines

The Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) has developed comprehensive guidance on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into schools, emphasizing ethical, equitable, and human-centered approaches. Their resources provide school leaders with valuable insights into leveraging AI for education while addressing privacy, bias, and the responsible use of technology.


As our state integrates AI into education, it’s vital to prioritize human reflection and understanding throughout the process. OSPI's "Human-AI-Human" approach ensures that students and educators remain at the center.

Human -- Machine -- Human Protocol

This protocol reinforces the principle that AI serves as a support tool, not a decision-maker. By maintaining human oversight at both the beginning and end of every interaction, schools can uphold ethical standards, ensure equity, and foster trust in the responsible use of AI. This process protects against potential biases, inaccuracies, and unintended consequences, keeping students and educators at the heart of all AI applications.

Human Input: Define the purpose and parameters of the AI task. Educators or administrators should clearly outline goals, provide contextual information, and input ethically sourced data to guide the AI system.
Machine Processing: Allow the AI to generate content, analyze data, or provide insights based on the defined task. AI acts as a tool to augment, not replace, human understanding.
Human Review: Evaluate AI for accuracy, relevance, and ethical alignment. Adjust content that does not meet quality or equity standards. Use professional judgment to ensure the final result reflects values and priorities.

    After a crazy few years of school leadership through a pandemic and its immediate recovery, the vibe we're getting for this back to school season is simply "normal." That was the report at least from the vast majority of our AWSP Board Executive Committee check-in we had the other day. What's not normal is the way AI has infiltrated so much of our lives, especially for those of us in education. I've got a few things to share with you to help navigate through these undiscovered waters.
