Before You Begin

Published March 2026 · 10 minute overview

This paper does not argue that every teacher should use AI. It treats AI as optional, bounded, and judgment-dependent. Its goal is to help teachers identify low-risk uses, avoid high-risk mistakes, and build enough shared language to talk productively with colleagues and school leaders.

It gives teachers a calm framework for experimentation without pushing them past policy, privacy, or professional judgment.

Low-, Medium-, and High-Risk Uses of AI for Teachers

Originally Published March 18, 2026

Teachers do not need a single yes-or-no answer on AI. They need a practical way to sort classroom tasks by risk so that drafting support, student-facing materials, privacy exposure, and high-stakes judgments do not get treated as the same thing.

For teachers

Classroom teachers, instructional coaches, and school-based leaders supporting teacher practice.

Next Action
