Facilitation Guidelines

For facilitators: feelings about AI can run high. You will need to set clear guidelines and provide a space for difficult but productive differences in conversations about AI policy.

Start by getting consensus from the group. What are the ground rules for the conversation? Then consider these general guidelines as you work through the conversation:

• Center Student Outcomes – Prioritize the immediate learning experiences and needs of students.
• Engage Critically with AI – Understand the capabilities and limitations of current AI tools—not just their potential futures.
• Let Pedagogy Drive Policy – Ensure that teaching goals shape how and when AI tools are used.
• Support Underserved and Marginalized Learners – Design AI policies that promote equity, inclusion, and flexibility for all students.
