Final exam: AI for K-12 teachers

Read in

1. A teacher wants AI to write report-card comments and pastes in each child’s name, grades and behavior notes. What is the main problem?
Student records go into a tool that may not be approvedThe comments will sound too similar from one child to the nextTeachers are not allowed to mention behavior in commentsReport-card comments must always be written by hand
2. A rubric from AI uses the word ‘good’ at every level. What is the best fix?
Ask students to tell you what each level should meanSwap vague words for observable descriptions and test on a sampleKeep it as it is, since “good” is easy for students to understand at every levelAdd “very good” and “excellent” to separate the levels more
3. A student says AI helped with a draft. How can you respond well?
Talk about class rules, what help was allowed and what they learnedTreat it as cheating at once and give the work a zeroAccept it without question, since all drafts get help somewhereRun the draft through an AI detector and decide what to do from the score alone
4. Which task most clearly stays with the teacher?
Deciding a final grade and following safeguarding dutiesDrafting exit tickets on this week’s reading topicMaking vocabulary lists with example sentencesFormatting a parent newsletter with the term dates and the upcoming events
5. An AI history summary names a date you do not recognize. What now?
Ask the AI to be sure and teach it if it says yesVerify in your textbook or a reliable sourceTeach it, since the AI summary sounded well sourcedDrop the whole lesson and write a new one from scratch
6. A parent asks whether you use AI. What is an honest answer?
Say no, to avoid worry, even if you sometimes use it to draft materialsSay you draft materials with it, review everything, and keep student information outSay the AI teaches part of the class while you handle everything elseSay that your methods are a private matter for school leaders only
7. Your school has no AI guidance. What should you do?
Keep student data out and ask leaders for guidanceAssume anything is allowed, since no written rule forbids itWait until a parent or colleague raises a complaintHave students sign up for tools so they can try them
8. How can you safely level a reading passage with AI?
Paste student essays with the names removed, then check meaningUpload last term’s reading scores so levels match each childUse text you wrote or public-domain text and check meaningUse any text you like and trust the tool’s reading level label
