MYP/DPCP Coordinators, Heads of Schools/Principals, Academic Vice Principals, Extended Essay Advisors, IB Teachers, Directors of Educational Technology,
We hope you will join Dr. Maria Andrade Johnson, Regional Specialist IB and former IBC and teacher at Santa Margarita Catholic High School for a conversation that will begin with the acknowledgement that students are using AI everywhere.
What to Expect
The policy and teaching practices need to distinguish AI's use and how to develop student agency and thinking skills (not replace them). That distinction is teachable, specific, and largely a matter of who is asking the questions. We'll work through practices and policy-language in four areas: 1. Developing sharper arguments with AI as an adversary, student as advocate; 2. Deeper analysis, asking AI to find gaps and become an interrogator not a producer of student drafts; 3. Honest sourcing, using AI to help find and organize literature, outline main points with citation support for use in in-text citation; 4. Students describe choices and experiences and uses AI to interview and question varying levels of why and how to deepen reflection in IAs, CAS, and Ees. Academic integrity and disclosure run through the whole session rather than as a policy bullet-point.
Take-aways:
- Draw and defend a workable line between AI that develops a thinker and AI that replaces one, grounded in current IB guidelines for AI use.
- Teach adversarial rather than generative prompting for AI use.
- Teach source location, verification, and organization for AI use.
- Using AI to support genuine reflection in IAs, CAS, and the Extended Essay using interrogative prompting
