Cold Spring School District AI Innovation Plan 2026-2027
This AI Innovation Plan outlines a strategic approach to integrating artificial intelligence into education, emphasizing the preservation of human relationships and foundational learning. The plan details a two-part methodology, beginning with 'protected learning time' for core knowledge acquisition without AI, followed by 'innovation studios' where students apply knowledge using technology, with access scaling by age. Key pillars include fostering student authorship through eight habits of thought, explicit AI literacy instruction for responsible use, and leveraging AI agents for staff to optimize administrative tasks while ensuring human oversight. The plan also commits to community transparency regarding software usage and measures success through student learning benchmarks, teacher time savings, responsible AI use, and parent confidence.
