Actions for leaders

This week: Select one AI-supported learning pilot and define both an immediate practice measure and a later unaided task. Name the person responsible for reviewing errors and record the full staff workload.

Within 30 days: Review assessment rules in one subject. Pair products with individual explanations or changed problems, and agree how teachers will resolve conflicting evidence.

Before expansion: Require evidence of learning transfer, fairness and sustainable review capacity. Keep vendor claims, student perceptions and tested effects separate in the board report.
