Draft AI Use Policy
Email your school level, preferred AI approach (prohibited, permitted, or tiered), and any existing guidelines. Get back a comprehensive, enforceable AI use policy document.
I'm the English department chair at a suburban public high school (grades 9-12, about 1,200 students). We need a department-wide AI policy before next semester.
Our situation:
- No school-wide AI policy exists yet, administration is "working on it" but that could take months
- Currently every teacher has their own rules, which is confusing for students who have 3 different English teachers
- We had two academic integrity incidents last month involving ChatGPT, handled inconsistently
- Some teachers want to ban AI completely, others want to teach students to use it responsibly
My preferred approach: tiered by assignment type. Some assignments should allow AI as a tool (brainstorming, revision), others should be AI-free (in-class essays, personal narratives). I want teachers to have flexibility but within a clear framework.
Specific things I need addressed:
- Creative writing assignments (personal essays, poetry) should always be AI-free
- Research papers: AI can help with outlining and source organization but not writing
- Peer review and revision: AI grammar tools are fine
- We need a clear disclosure format students can use
- Consequences that escalate but aren't draconian for first offenses
- Something we can share with parents at back-to-school night
Please make it detailed enough to actually enforce but readable enough that a 9th grader understands it.
