Secondary teachers – textbook check in/out directions

Teachers, I’ve attached the directions for how to check textbooks in and out to students in case you are in need. Students can also bring textbooks to the library for check in/out, and DP students can drop off their textbooks in one of the library carts. FYI: As for seniors, the only textbooks still out are for English, Biology, Korean, and German. There are also some musical items and one mic still checked out. Contact me if you want specifics!

Teacher AI Guidance

Please click here for a handy one-pager on the use of AI at NIS. A student version was also shared this morning after additional feedback from Secondary Student Council. The overall goal is to be clear with students about the extent to which AI tools can be used based on what is (and what is not) being assessed. Let’s Look for opportunities for the creative use of AI tools like Magic School without impacting our ability to assess students’ skills, knowledge, and understanding. Please see our NIS AI webpage for more information. Please also feel free to speak with Shannon or Ken about ways to leverage AI in teaching and learning. Many thanks!

Student AI Guidance

Hello NIS Students,

Please take a look at this handy one-page document to give you some guidance and start conversations with your teachers about AI use in you classes. The most important thing is to work with your teachers to determine the extent to which AI can be used. This is largely based on what is being assessed. Our goal is to give feedback that improves your understanding and academic growth. Your teachers grading and giving you feedback on AI-generated work does not help you learn!

Please also check out our NIS AI webpage for AI-related resources, citation guides, and your very own bot!
