Your students are already using AI. The question is no longer whether — it is whether they are using it with intention, judgment, and integrity. This high-energy session gives K–12 educators a practical, research-informed toolkit for shifting students from passive AI consumers to active, critical AI users. Drawing on research in responsible AI and human-centred technology design, Ahlam Ansari introduces the AI Agency Framework — a five-step classroom model that teaches students to question AI outputs, verify claims independently, understand why an AI produced a particular result, and take genuine ownership of their learning. Attendees will leave with age-appropriate lesson starters for primary and secondary classrooms, a student self-assessment checklist for evaluating AI-generated content, and a clear, jargon-free vocabulary for talking about AI responsibility with young learners. Whether your school is embracing AI tools or navigating concerns about academic integrity, this session offers the language, the structure, and the confidence to lead that conversation — starting the week you return from GESS.
