Almaty
School Artificial Intelligence (AI) Framework
(Draft)
2025-26
Vision Statement
Our school recognizes the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. We aim
to responsibly integrate AI technologies to enhance teaching, learning, and administrative processes,
while upholding our core values, safeguarding our community, and preparing students for a future
shaped by intelligent systems.
Guiding Principles
• Ethical Use: Ensure AI is used in ways that uphold student privacy, equity, transparency, and
human dignity.
• Values-Driven: Anchor AI decisions and practices in our school’s educational values and
community ethos.
• Inclusive Dialogue: Foster community-wide conversations that reflect diverse perspectives
and concerns.
• Adaptive Governance: Regularly revise policies to remain responsive to emerging AI
developments.
The Shifting Nature of Education with AI
• Promote AI literacy among students and teachers to understand both the opportunities and
limitations of AI.
• Encourage critical thinking, creativity, and human judgment as key skills alongside digital
fluency.
• Support the shift from rote learning to problem-solving, inquiry-based, and project-based
learning augmented by AI tools.
Ethical Roadmap and Tools
• Establish an AI Ethics Committee: Include educators, students, parents, and tech specialists
to guide policy.
• Ethical Use Matrix: Create a decision-making tool for evaluating AI tools based on privacy,
bias, transparency, accountability, and student impact.
• Data Protection Protocols: Enforce strict data privacy measures, especially when using AI for
assessment or monitoring.
Best Practices for Teaching in an AI Environment
• Encourage teachers to explore AI-assisted lesson planning, personalized feedback, and
formative assessment tools.
• Offer professional development on how to use and evaluate AI tools in classrooms.
• Discourage over-reliance on AI; promote balanced use where human insight remains central.
• Emphasize teaching AI ethics, digital citizenship, and media literacy across subjects.
Understanding and Realigning School Values
• Reflection Workshops: Facilitate sessions for faculty to explore how GenAI impacts their
teaching philosophies.
• Student Voice Integration: Gather input from students about how AI affects their learning
experience and identity.
• Value Checkpoints: Regularly assess whether AI tools align with the school’s mission and
values.
Community-Wide Conversations Using a Values-Based Approach
• Conduct town halls, forums, and student panels to democratize discussions around AI.
• Use real-world scenarios and storytelling to explore ethical dilemmas and foster empathy.
• Establish norms for respectful dialogue and collective decision-making.
Policy Development Using Systems Thinking
• Map Stakeholders: Identify all parties affected by AI—from students to support staff—and
include their perspectives.
• Understand Interdependencies: Analyze how AI in one area (e.g., assessment) impacts
others (e.g., student motivation).
• Pilot Programs: Test AI tools in controlled environments before school-wide rollout.
• Continuous Feedback Loops: Use surveys, usage data, and feedback sessions to evaluate
and refine AI use.
Implementation Strategy
• Phase-wise implementation beginning with awareness, then experimentation, followed by
institutionalization.
• Create an AI Policy Oversight Team responsible for training, monitoring, and updating
practices.
• Schedule annual reviews of the policy to respond to new technologies and research.
Professional Development and Capacity Building
• Run ongoing workshops on AI integration in curriculum, assessment, and ethics.
• Partner with local universities or tech companies for teacher upskilling.
• Share a repository of vetted AI tools with usage guidelines and case studies.
