Alliance for Catholic Education
Higher-Powered Learning is leading a summer AI Policy Collaborative, designed for Catholic school and (arch)diocesan leaders who are actively working on AI guidance, handbook language, implementation plans, and faculty expectations for the upcoming school year. Rather than serving as traditional “information sessions,” these calls are intended to be collaborative working sessions where leaders can share questions, discuss emerging practices, reflect on ethical and developmentally appropriate AI use, and leave with stronger policies, clearer guidance, and practical next steps for implementation.
As Catholic schools continue navigating student use of generative AI tools, many leaders are wrestling with questions around academic integrity, acceptable use, disclosure expectations, developmental appropriateness, and assessment validity. Schools are also increasingly asking what AI literacy students should actually develop, how expectations may differ by grade level, and how Catholic schools can frame student AI use in ways that support both learning and human formation.
This collaborative conversation will focus on developing clearer expectations and guidance for student AI use in Catholic school settings. Topics may include handbook language, classroom expectations, assessment validity in an AI-enabled environment, messaging appropriate AI use to students, and ethical framing rooted in Catholic education. Participants are encouraged to bring examples, draft language, unresolved tensions, and practical questions from their own schools or dioceses. RSVP on Zoom.
