Central Kentucky EDUCON

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping classrooms—but meaningful integration requires more than new tools. This session focuses on building clear, human-centered course policies and assessment practices that help teachers and students navigate AI responsibly, ethically, and productively.
Participants will explore how to design AI-inclusive syllabus statements, student agreements, and a stoplight system that clarifies when and how AI tools can be used for learning, collaboration, and assessment. We’ll examine how transparent expectations reduce confusion, support academic integrity, and promote digital citizenship rather than punishment.
The session will also highlight process-based assessment models, emphasizing student documentation, reflection, and learning artifacts over product-only grading. Attendees will see examples of how these approaches not only support AI use but also strengthen formative assessment and feedback.
Finally, we’ll address differentiation for multilingual learners, discussing how AI tools—when paired with intentional policy and instructional design—can increase access, language development, and student agency without lowering rigor.
Designed for teachers, instructional leaders, and district teams, this session connects classroom practice to future-ready technology literacy and sustainable instructional design. Participants will leave with concrete strategies for setting clear expectations, designing meaningful assessments, and supporting diverse learners—so they can lead with confidence in an AI-integrated classroom.
