Instructional purpose
Start with learning
Name the knowledge or skill you want students to demonstrate before choosing a tool or generating a task.
Purpose before possibility
Human judgment.
Stronger evidence.
AI can support teaching and assessment when we remain clear about what students are learning and what the evidence can tell us.
Validity & clarity
Protect the meaning of evidence
Ask whether AI assistance changes what the task measures. Make expectations for student and educator use explicit.
Equity
Design for access and agency
Consider whose language, experiences, and ways of showing learning are supported—and who might encounter barriers.
Responsible practice
Keep people responsible
Review outputs, protect student information, and use professional judgment when interpreting evidence or providing feedback.
