AI Stoplight

As part of the teacher guidelines to ‘clearly communicate expectations regarding AI use in the classroom, including those specific to your department or content area,’ teachers are expected to implement the stoplight approach for graded assignments.

 

Red Bot Restricted Use of AI

Red Bot (No AI Use Allowed):

Students must independently write and edit their first draft based on teacher feedback, without using AI. While students are learning to use AI across all classes, some assignments, like this one, are designed to focus on developing skills without AI assistance. Submitting AI-generated work for these assignments will be considered a violation of academic integrity.
Yellow Bot AI can be used with limits

Yellow Bot (AI Assistance Allowed):

Students can use AI, including SchoolAI, for brainstorming, generating ideas, or outlining arguments. SchoolAI can also provide targeted feedback on early drafts, such as improving arguments or structure. A transcript of all student-AI interactions must be submitted with the final assignment. Proper citation is required for AI-generated content, clearly indicating its influence on the student’s work.
Green Bot Ai can be used cite AI use.

Green Bot (AI is Part of the Assignment):

AI will serve as a learning partner, like a tutor, to assist students with tasks such as outlining arguments or identifying logical fallacies. The quality of interactions, including prompts and reflections, will be evaluated. Students and staff have access to SchoolAI to develop these AI literacy skills.

 

 

 

Examples of situations where each Stoplight approach may be applied

 


For the final draft, students must independently write and edit their work without the use of AI tools. Any submission that is AI-generated or AI-assisted will be considered a violation of academic integrity. Additionally, the grading of the assignment will be conducted solely by the teacher, without the use of AI tools.

  • Students may use AI during the brainstorming phase to help generate ideas or outline their arguments.
  • AI can also be used to get feedback on early drafts (e.g., asking, "How can I improve my argument or structure?")
  • A full transcript of student-AI interactions must be submitted with the final assignment. Citation: Students must properly cite AI-generated content and clearly indicate what parts of their writing were influenced by AI.
  • For students working on personalized learning tasks, AI will be used as a learning partner, similar to using a tutor.
  • For example, students may use AI to practice outlining arguments or receive targeted feedback on logical fallacies.
  • The quality of student-AI interactions will be assessed, including the prompts used and the student's reflection on how the AI helped their learning.
