In the classroom, we acknowledge the role of both AI and human insight in shaping learning experiences. AI can provide valuable support, but human creativity, ethical judgment, and critical thinking are indispensable. NPS is dedicated to teaching students to use AI tools responsibly and to value the importance of their own contributions. Our classroom AI policy emphasizes:

• Empathetic Engagement: Students are encouraged to use AI as a tool for brainstorming and refining their work while ensuring that their ideas and effort remain central to their learning.

• Collaborative Exploration: AI tools are used to enhance group projects, promoting teamwork and diverse perspectives, while respecting the unique contributions of each student.

• Critical Evaluation: Students are taught to engage critically with AI-generated content, verifying information, and understanding the limitations of AI. They will learn to apply due diligence by cross-referencing AI outputs with verified sources.
