Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly changing the landscape of many industries, including education. In Barrington 220, students and staff are exploring the possibilities of AI with a mix of excitement and trepidation. The Technology & Innovation Department is seeking a group of thoughtful educators to join an active and productive subcommittee to develop resources, practices, and guidelines related to the use of artificial intelligence by students and staff in Barrington 220.
Specific outcomes of this group:
- Establish best practices for the use of AI by staff.
- Develop resources for staff to navigate the use and misuse of AI by students.
- Identify and update existing school handbooks, syllabi, and relevant community-facing documents to include language related to the use and misuse of AI.
- Review and create recommendations for updates to relevant Board policy and district administrative procedures.
- Explore potential situations where AI skills can be responsibly embedded into the PK–12+ curriculum.
Meetings/Commitment
The total commitment to this group will consist of three half-day, in-person meetings during the 2023–24 school year, designed to meet the above goals. There is potential for some individual follow-up work between and after meetings (i.e., suggesting document edits, providing feedback). Beyond this school year, the group would meet annually or bi-annually, as needed, to maintain resources, adjust practices, and address new issues.
If you are interested in being a part of this group, giving input, or learning more, please contact the Director of Innovation, Ty Gorman, tgorman@barrington220.org.
