GUIDING VISION FOR AI INTEGRATION

FHPS defines learning as a process that engages information meaningfully, driving cognitive, emotional, and social growth. AI integration supports this vision across eight core pillars.

PERSONALIZED LEARNING
EQUITY & INCLUSION
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
DATA PRIVACY & SECURITY
ETHICAL USE OF AI
COLLABORATION & COMMUNITY
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
AI LITERACY

PERSONALIZED LEARNING

AI tailors educational experiences to each student’s unique needs using data and adaptive technologies to support cognitive, emotional, and social growth.

EQUITY & INCLUSION

AI tools identify and address learning gaps, ensuring all communities of learners have access to high-quality resources and targeted interventions.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Continuous investment in educator training on ethical AI use, data privacy, and leveraging AI for instructional innovation.

DATA PRIVACY & SECURITY

Robust measures ensure AI technologies are used responsibly and ethically, maintaining trust and protecting student and educator data.

ETHICAL USE OF AI

Policies reflect transparency, accountability, and fairness. Teachers are encouraged to add AI use language to their syllabi for classroom clarity.

COLLABORATION & COMMUNITY

Co-creating an AI-enhanced educational environment by fostering collaboration among students, parents, educators, and community members.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Real-time feedback and insights into student learning and instructional effectiveness drive informed decisions and best practices.

AI LITERACY

Infusing AI literacy across all curriculum ensures students can work alongside AI tools, think critically about media, and make ethical decisions about AI content.

Evaluating the benefits and risks of AI technologies and making principled decisions about their use.

03 AI FLUENCY

Using AI tools effectively and responsibly to accomplish educational and real-world goals.

04 AI DEVELOPMENT

Creating inclusive, ethical AI systems that reflect community values and human-centered design.

AI RUBRIC FOR GRADES 7TH-12TH

A five-level scale helps teachers clearly communicate how much AI support is permitted for any given assignment — from none to full usage with human oversight.

LEVEL 0 | NO AI USE

Assignment completed entirely without AI assistance.

LEVEL 1 | AI FOR USE

AI can be used for brainstorming and generating ideas for improving or starting work.

LEVEL 2 | AI ASSISTED EDITING

AI can improve clarity or quality of student-created work through editing — not content creation.

LEVEL 3 | AI FOR TASKS

AI can create parts or images for the final product of the assignment.

LEVEL 4 | FULL AI USAGE

AI can be used on any aspect of the assignment with human review, proofing, and critical thinking.

STUDENT AI BEST PRACTICES

TO DO
NOT TO DO
BEFORE YOU SUBMIT

Prioritize Privacy

EXPAND

Use “Student X” when generating differentiated materials or feedback prompts — never real student identities or sensitive records.

Spark Inspiration

EXPAND

Use Gemini to brainstorm creative lesson hooks, diverse reading lists, or innovative science experiment ideas.

Personalized Tutoring

EXPAND

Use AI to create study guides or flashcards in NotebookLM, or ask Gemini to “Explain it Like I’m 5” for difficult concepts.

Verify Information

EXPAND

Always cross-reference AI-provided facts, dates, and quotes with your textbook or trusted library databases.

Master the Citation

EXPAND

Always acknowledge if AI helped you brainstorm or outline. Follow your teacher’s instructions for citing AI per class.

Own Your Voice

EXPAND

Use AI to suggest transitions or vocabulary, but ensure the final product is written entirely by you.

Protect Your Data

EXPAND

Never input your full name, home address, phone number, or sensitive personal stories into an AI prompt.

Avoid Copy & Paste

EXPAND

Never copy-paste AI-generated text directly into assignments. AI is for inspiration — the final writing must be 100% yours.

Don't Bypass the Brain

EXPAND

If you can’t explain what the AI gave you in your own words, you haven’t learned it yet. Never skip the thinking process.

Don't Trust Blindly

EXPAND

AI can fabricate facts that sound real. Never assume it’s 100% accurate — always double-check with reliable sources.

Don't Hide the Process

EXPAND

Avoid using AI secretly. Being transparent with your teachers builds trust and demonstrates responsible learning.

Don't Replace Your Voice

EXPAND

Your teachers want to hear your thoughts and growth — not a generic, robot-generated response.

BEFORE YOU SUBMIT – ASK YOURSELF:

  1. Did I write this?
    Ensure no AI-generated information was copied verbatim into your final submission.
  2. Is it accurate?
    Verify that all facts provided by the AI are actually true using reliable sources.
  3. Did I cite it?
    Check your teacher’s syllabus for how to credit AI help and reference the FHPS AI Rubric.

STAFF AI BEST PRACTICES

Use Gemini as your assistant to free up time to teach and connect with your students — while maintaining the human-centered heart of your classroom.

TO DO
NOT TO DO

TO DO

Prioritize Privacy

Use “Student X” when generating differentiated materials or feedback prompts — never real student identities or sensitive records.

Spark Inspiration

Use Gemini to brainstorm creative lesson hooks, diverse reading lists, or innovative science experiment ideas.

Verify Information

Use the “Double Check” feature in Gemini to cross-reference facts and ensure accuracy before sharing with students.

Draft Feedback

Use AI to suggest comments for student work or help build comprehensive grading rubrics based on your own criteria.

Enhance Efficiency

Use Gemini to summarize long articles or draft the “bones” of a parent newsletter or family email.

Model Transparency

Talk to students about how you use AI as a brainstorming tool and encourage them to use it ethically.

NOT TO DO

Protect Student Data

Never input real student names, parent contact information, or sensitive disciplinary records into Gemini.

Avoid "Print & Go"

Never assign a verbatim AI response without reviewing for context and accuracy. Full AI lessons without revisions are discouraged.

Don't Trust Blindly

AI can “hallucinate” or provide outdated facts — it prioritizes task completion over accuracy. Always review carefully.

Don't Automate Evaluation

Never allow AI to assign a final grade or high-stakes score without your professional judgment. Students value knowing their teacher is guiding their growth.

Don't Replace Your Voice

Ensure communication with families still reflects your unique relationship with them. Verbatim AI responses are discouraged.

Don't Hide the Process

Avoid a double standard. Openness about AI use builds a culture of digital literacy and integrity for everyone.

DISTRICT–SUPPORTED AI TOOLS

Five AI platforms are officially supported by FHPS for staff and students, each serving distinct instructional purposes.

Brisk – A free AI-powered Chrome extension for teachers to give feedback, level text, create content, and inspect writing.

Diffit – Helps teachers get "just right" instructional materials, saving time and helping all students access grade-level content.

Magic School AI – For lesson planning, differentiation, assessments, and IEPs. Helps students build AI literacy and responsible usage habits.

School AI – Gives educators tools to design personalized classroom experiences with custom spaces and chatbots for students.

Khanmigo – Free for teachers. Acts as a teaching assistant for generating progress reports, classroom activities, and much more.

KEY CONCEPTS & DISPOSITIONS

THE HUMAN ADVANTAGE

There is no AI replacement for empathy, critical thinking, and the uniquely human ability to form meaningful relationships and contribute to communities.

TOOLS FOLLOW PURPOSE

AI tools are selected and used in alignment with clear educational goals — technology serves learning, not the other way around.

PERSPECTIVE BENDING

Students and educators are encouraged to share their own views while remaining genuinely open to the perspectives of others.

COURAGE–BASED FRAMING

FHPS approaches AI with a focus on possibilities rather than fear — embracing innovation while remaining grounded in shared values.
