• NPS will integrate AI technologies thoughtfully and with integrity to ensure they align with our educational mission. Key components include:

    • AI Literacy and Empowerment: Providing professional development for teachers and training for students on AI use, ensuring everyone is equipped with the skills and ethical understanding needed to leverage AI responsibly. Training will include workshops on AI ethics, hands-on sessions for practical application, and certifications for educators who successfully integrate AI tools into their teaching. Professional development will be evaluated through pre- and post-training assessments, classroom observations, and feedback from teachers to ensure its effectiveness and ongoing improvement.
    • Equitable Access: Ensuring all students, including those with disabilities, have access to AI tools to enhance their learning experiences, in compliance with ADA and IDEA guidelines. Specific AI tools such as adaptive learning platforms and AI- driven assistive technologies will be made available to meet individual student needs.
    • Transparency and Ethical Use: All significant decisions supported by AI will be transparent to stakeholders, and the role of AI in these decisions will be clearly communicated. Crisis management protocols will be in place to address any unintended consequences of AI use, including data breaches or biases, with defined roles for response and resolution. A comprehensive community engagement and crisis management strategy will ensure transparency and trust, with community forums, workshops, and a dedicated crisis response team.
