Teaching Ethically in an AI-Powered Classroom

What should teachers never hand over to AI? The second conversation turns to teacher use of AI — lesson plans, feedback, differentiation — and where professional human responsibility begins. Built around Ariel's ETHICS framework: Equity, Transparency, Human Judgment, Integrity, Critical Literacy and Safeguarding.

Key takeaways

The ideas worth carrying into Monday morning.

  1. 01AI can plan the lesson, but only the teacher can own what happens to students after it: accountability stays human.
  2. 02Run any AI use through ETHICS: Equity, Transparency, Human judgement, Integrity, Critical literacy, Safeguarding.
  3. 03Use the time AI saves to be more human with students, not to do more with AI.
  4. 04Test yourself: if you removed yourself from the process, would the result be the same? If so, you are not using AI properly.
