As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, its integration into our classrooms presents new opportunities for enhancing student learning. We can develop both human intelligence skills and AI skills. Our next phase of the AI Task Force is to thoughtfully evaluate and implement student-facing AI tools. This group will be responsible for:
- developing a comprehensive rubric for assessing various AI tools.
- collaborating with students to investigate AI tool usability.
- sharing informed recommendations for the most effective AI tools.
- establishing best practices for AI tool use.
- designing professional learning opportunities to support educators in leveraging AI technologies in the classroom.

During our meeting in December, our group of 30+ 3–12 teachers, teacher librarians, coaches, and LTAs brainstormed criteria for our rubric and participated in introductions to four AI tools for education with student-facing options. The four options met our baseline requirements:
- Must be SOPPA compliant
- Must be usable on iPad devices
- Must provide teacher autonomy over AI functionality
- Must provide teacher insights into student AI use
After the sessions, participants opted into at least two of the four options to compare the tools:
- Brisk
- Khanmigo
- MagicSchool AI
- School AI
The group meets in late January 2025 to compare notes, finalize a rubric, and focus on the final month of explorations. Upon completion of the exploration of student-facing AI tools, the group will make a recommendation in March 2025 with plans for professional learning in late Spring and adoption in the Fall 2025 of the 2025–26 school year.
