The CALM AI Framework

Three questions. Room for your judgment.

You know your students. These questions help you decide where AI supports their learning and where the work needs to stay human.

  1. What belongs to AI?

    Consider the tasks where AI can help without taking the learning away.

  2. What belongs to the teacher? and

    Protect your judgment, relationships, and responsibility for the classroom.

  3. How does learning stay at the center of the classroom?

    Ask what students will think through, practice, and understand.

The five-book series

Support for the decisions you make every day.

Start with the question on your desk, whether it is an assignment, a classroom conversation, or the work that follows you home.

I’m Kristina Stone LeCrone. My 35 years in classrooms have taken me to Alaska, the Marshall Islands, Korea, and Idaho.

I created CALM AI to help thoughtful educators use AI without losing rigor, integrity, or themselves. Teaching is personal. The decisions we make about AI should respect that.

Before you write an AI policy, decide what you are protecting

A blinking cursor on the AI Policy line isn't a sign an educator is unprepared. It's a sign they understand how much that paragraph has to carry. Before you can write it, you have to decide what you're protecting.
