Relationships First – Strong connections between students, educators, and mentors are essential for learning. AI should assist, but never replace, the human relationships that drive growth and success.

Responsible Innovation – AI should enhance—not replace—human decision-making. Clear policies and ethical guidelines must ensure AI expands opportunities while protecting privacy and equity.

Student-Centered Learning – AI should support relevant, engaging learning experiences that build critical thinking, digital literacy, and student agency, preparing learners with future-ready skills.

Thoughtful Evaluation – AI use must be transparent, fair, and accurate. Educators and students should develop AI literacy to understand its limitations, question biases, and use it responsibly.

Collaboration & Community Voice – Educators, in collaboration with their communities, should lead the integration of AI in education to ensure it empowers all learners with the skills needed for future success.

Lifelong Learning & Adaptability – AI should help students and educators develop skills to navigate new technologies and evolving career landscapes throughout their lives.
