A practical AI framework for New Zealand schools
Schools already have access to plenty of AI tools and prompt scaffolders. What is often missing is the policy, staff capability, safeguards and evaluation process needed to use them well.
Unlocking Potential helps schools decide where AI belongs, how it should be governed and how to judge whether it is creating genuine value.
What the framework provides:
š¶ A staged process for introducing AI responsibly
š¶ An adaptable school AI policy
š¶ Practical guidance for classroom and assessment use
š¶ A three-tier approach to evaluating risk
š¶ A capability pathway for teachers and leaders
š¶ Tools for piloting, reviewing and recording AI decisions
š¶ A SAMR worksheet for evaluating how AI changes a task
