By prioritizing these core values, educators can create an environment where Gen AI is used as a supportive tool that enriches education for every student. As we embrace this era of AI-driven innovation, this guidance serves as a resource for educators seeking to integrate Gen AI thoughtfully into their practice. It provides actionable frameworks and protocols to ensure Gen AI is a tool for positive transformation, enhancing learning experiences while adhering to Delaware’s educational standards and policies.
