Highlights
* Instead of banning AI, leverage it by redesigning assignments, such as coding an adventure game and then using AI to expand its narrative, focusing on student interaction with the tool.
* Shift from simply using AI to critically evaluating its outputs; focus professional development on understanding AI's limitations, biases, and ethical implications within specific subject areas.
* Prioritize "Purpose Over Technology" by defining *why* a subject is taught and what human capabilities are cultivated *before* determining how AI might serve those educational goals.
* Raise expectations for student work: if AI can produce mediocre essays, design assignments that demand depth, critical thought, unique context, and genuine imagination that machines cannot replicate.
* Approach AI integration with an evidence-based mindset, questioning assumptions about cheating or workload reduction, and researching its actual impact on learning processes.
* Implement a "human-in-the-loop" principle, where educators use AI outputs as drafts, applying their wisdom, judgment, and care to refine and improve them, protecting core human domains.
