Guidance on Artificial Intelligence in Schools

For teachers and school leaders considering the use of AI, this guidance is designed to achieve
two primary objectives:

• provide teachers and school leaders with a common understanding of AI, its potential
applications in education and establish principles for its responsible and appropriate use.

• support teachers and school leaders in making informed decisions on the use of AI, having
regard to safety and privacy requirements.

Section 1 explains the rationale for this guidance and introduces some core concepts. Section 2
discusses how AI could be used in schools to support teaching, learning and school leadership
and notes important considerations for its successful implementation.

Appendices are also provided, with a glossary of key and frequently used terminology relating to
AI, links to resources on the use of AI in learning and teaching, further information on the ethical
use of AI and on the history and evolution of AI, relevant regulations, policies, reports and
frameworks, as well as the sources used to develop this guidance, which may be useful for
further reading.
