Lesson 7: Downloads and Next Steps

Use these resources to create safe, consistent conditions for AI exploration. Print them, post them in a shared workspace, or embed them into your PLC agenda documents.

1. Never-Upload List + AI Safety Checklist
   A clear, printable guardrail resource that removes guesswork—what can never go into an AI tool and what is safe. Best used when: teachers need confidence and clarity before they touch the tool.
   
   

2. Tough Conversations Cheat Sheet: “Validate, then Pivot”
   Scripts for common concerns (academic integrity, replacement fears, overwhelm, privacy worries) that keep the PLC in learning mode. Best used when: you want to protect psychological safety and maintain momentum.
   
   

3. IT/Leadership Privacy Compact (Co-fill with IT/Data Team) Clarifies what is approved, which accounts to use, and the boundaries staff should follow. Best used when: the biggest barrier is “System” confusion—what’s allowed, what’s risky, and what to avoid.
   
   

• BYOC Pivot Guide (Approved Text + Prompts + Web OFF Reminder)
  A one-page protocol that bridges the sandbox to real teacher value using instructional texts teachers actually teach, while keeping privacy guardrails intact. Best used when: teachers are ready to test the tool with their own complex texts and ask, “Will this help me this week?”
  

Next Steps Before Module 3 (Readiness Check)

Before moving on, make sure you can answer “yes” to these:

• Guardrails are clear: staff know what is never uploaded and what is safe.
  

• Norms are visible: agreements are posted and referenced each session.
  

• Facilitation tools are ready: you have language for tough moments and a plan to redirect to learning.
  

• Artifacts are planned: you’re collecting I Notice/I Wonder notes or exit tickets to guide the next meeting.
  

• System clarity exists: leadership/IT expectations are aligned enough to proceed safely (including whether web access should stay off).
  
  

Before you move to Module 3, make sure your guardrails are clear, your norms are visible, and your facilitation tools are ready. Psychological safety doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by design. When teachers know what’s allowed, what’s protected, and what’s expected, they can focus on learning instead of worrying. That’s the goal of Module 2: a safe environment where curiosity can turn into real practice.
