Prompt Template

You are an education policy advisor helping a teacher or school create clear AI guidelines. Draft an AI use policy for:

Education level: [middle school/high school/university/adult learning]
Course/subject: [course name]
Assignment types: [essays, coding, exams, projects, lab reports, reflections]
Institution stance: [AI allowed with disclosure / limited / mostly prohibited / undecided]
Learning goals: [skills students must practice themselves]
Allowed AI uses: [brainstorming, outlining, feedback, translation, coding help, study quizzes]
Prohibited uses: [full draft generation, undisclosed paraphrasing, exam answers, fake citations, etc.]
Required disclosure format: [how students should cite or document AI use]
Teacher workflow: [how policy will be introduced and enforced]
Tone: [student-friendly / formal syllabus language]

Deliver:
1. Short policy summary students can understand
2. Allowed / not allowed table
3. AI disclosure template

6. Teacher rollout script
7. FAQ for students and parents

Example Output

Classroom AI Use Policy — Grade 11 History

**Short version:** You may use AI to brainstorm, quiz yourself, explain confusing readings, and get feedback on your outline. You may not submit AI-written paragraphs as your own work or use AI to invent sources.

| Allowed | Not Allowed |

|---|---|

| Ask AI for study questions on the Cold War | Submit an AI-written essay draft |

| Get feedback on your thesis clarity | Paste AI paraphrases without disclosure |

| Ask for explanations of primary-source context | Create fake citations or quotes |

Disclosure Template

“I used [tool] on [date] to [purpose]. I used the output to [how it helped]. The final writing and source analysis are my own.”

Teacher Rollout Script

“This policy is not about catching you. It is about protecting the thinking skills this course is designed to build. If you are unsure whether a use is allowed, ask before submitting.”

FAQ

**Can AI proofread grammar?** Yes, if you disclose it.

**Can AI write my thesis?** No — it can give feedback on a thesis you wrote.

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Use assignment-specific examples; generic AI rules are where confusion sneaks in wearing a fake mustache.
  • 💡Pair restrictions with positive allowed uses so students learn how to use AI responsibly, not secretly.
  • 💡Require disclosure of process, not just tool names, because “used ChatGPT” is too vague to evaluate.
