Abstract

Research into the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has highlighted critical issues such as bias, privacy, and plagiarism. Despite these challenges, many educational practices have not evolved to address them effectively. This project develops a comprehensive approach to preparing educators for ethical AI use, offering a series of lesson plans and resources (Appendices A-M) designed to enhance teachers' understanding and management of AI in the classroom. By providing practical tools and guidelines, the project supports educators in balancing technical skills with ethical considerations. It employs Paulo Freire’s Critical Pedagogy and the TPACK framework to address AI’s impact on teaching and learning. The effectiveness of the lesson plans and their complementing resources will be assessed through quarterly surveys, ensuring continuous improvement and relevance. This project aims to equip educators to navigate the complexities of AI integration while fostering critical thinking and digital responsibility among students.
