Read your district's AI policy before you read any lesson here
Lesson 4 of 6 · Student data and the line you cannot cross
1 · Learn the move · Fact-check list
Nothing on this door outranks your district's policy and your district's approved-tool list. Most districts have one by now; many teachers have not read theirs [S]. Read it tonight, as a list of questions, not as prose: which tools may hold student data at all, which may hold it only de-identified, which are banned, who approves a new one, what counts as student data in the policy's own definition, what the policy says about a teacher using a personal account, and what it says about grading and placement. Then write the answers at the top of your own notes. When a lesson here and your policy disagree, the policy wins and the lesson is wrong for you. When the policy is silent, the silence is a question for whoever approves tools, not permission.
Here is my district's AI or technology policy, pasted as text: [paste]. Turn it into a fact-check list for a classroom teacher. For each of these, quote the sentence that answers it or write SILENT: which tools may hold student data; which may hold it only de-identified; which are banned; who approves a new tool; the policy's own definition of student data; personal accounts; grading and placement by a tool; what to do after a mistaken paste. Quote; do not paraphrase. Do not fill a SILENT with what other districts do.
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
A middle-school teacher at Larkspur hears the district approved 'the AI tools' in August and assumes the one she uses at home is among them. The policy, when she reads it as a list, names two tools, defines student data to include 'any work product bearing a student's name', bans personal accounts for school work, and says a teacher assigns every grade. It is silent on de-identified pastes. The tool she uses at home is not named. That is a question for the person the policy names, not a loophole.
Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
