Outcomes

After this session, participants will be able to:

Understand the components of the HUMAN Framework and its purpose in promoting ethical student use of AI.

Implement at least one HUMAN-aligned EduProtocol in their own classroom to teach or reinforce ethical AI habits (more if this session is chosen for a different format).

Adapt the HUMAN Framework to fit different grade levels, content areas, and technology access points.

Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how to teach AI ethics in an engaging and empowering way. They'll take home a digital toolkit that includes editable EduProtocols and everything they need to get started with HUMAN in the fall.
