How Should AI Be Used in Schools?

Summary

Examples of planning and writing ask which cognitive tasks can appropriately be delegated.

Wexler argues that appropriate AI use depends on what pupils are supposed to practice. Outlining, for example, can be the learning task rather than disposable overhead.

Discussing teacher-preparation frameworks and an interview with Deans for Impact, she calls for stronger instructional judgment, materials and student understanding of effort. A planned framework is not an existing policy.

Linked surveys, policies and research were not all independently checked.
