Artificial Intelligence Statement

Our Commitment 

Westbrook Public Schools' educators are committed to the responsible and ethical use of generative Artificial Intelligence to enhance student learning outcomes and develop critical problem-solvers who systematically resolve complex issues. Aligned with ISTE Standards for digital citizenship and our policy's emphasis on transparency and bias mitigation, we ensure access for all students while maintaining academic integrity.

Our approach emphasizes augmentation over automation, using AI as a collaborative tool to support effective communicators who convey clear messages and creative thinkers who explore possibilities and examine information from various viewpoints. We provide comprehensive guidance on AI's capabilities and limitations while preparing students to be responsible decision makers who consider ethical standards and safety concerns.

Through the intersection of ISTE's framework for innovative learning experiences, Westbrook's Portrait of a Graduate competencies, and our district policy guidelines for safe AI implementation, we endeavor to develop perseverant, adaptable graduates who possess the qualities essential for success in college, career, and life.
