Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how students learn, complete assignments, and engage with academic content. In this session, CCIS Executive Board members Daniel O’Brien and Kate Perry discuss practical ways educators can respond to AI use in independent study and charter school settings with clarity, consistency, and a focus on student learning.
The conversation explores why students may misuse AI, how teachers can create classroom environments that encourage honesty and ethical behavior, and how clear AI guidelines can support academic integrity. Viewers will also hear examples of AI-resistant assignment design, classroom use policies, and strategies for helping students use AI as a tool for feedback, brainstorming, revision, and critical thinking.
