The HIDOE Employee and Student AI Guidance documents tell us what to consider when adopting AI tools. They do not tell us how to decide. That decision, most visibly whether to authorize student AI access at a school, currently sits with principals, and most have not yet made it. Meanwhile, students are using these tools outside of school every day.


This session introduces a three-question discernment framework that turns the existing HIDOE pillars into an actionable decision-making practice. Participants will work through the framework live, using student AI access as a shared case, and apply it to a decision they are actually facing in their own role. Although the live case centers on a principal's decision, the framework is portable: curriculum coordinators, department chairs, and classroom teachers can apply the same three questions to the adoption and instructional decisions they face daily. The session takes seriously that "not yet" is a legitimate answer, and equally, that "yes" can be made with confidence when the discernment work has been done. Stewardship is the practice that makes both calls trustworthy.
