Remember how one of the last things done by the Office of Civil Rights under the Biden administration was to send out guidance on the dangers of AI use around protecting student civil rights?
And remember how I noted that we seemed to be barreling right along in that direction back at the beginning of the school year?
A recently-released brief reports at 61% of special education teachers report using AI to write IEPs or 504s last year. You'll note that this was specifically warned against in the OCR guidance above. Among the issues this can create, in addition to massive student privacy rights issues:
IDEA requires each IEP to be unique and tailored to each students’ disabilities, goals and process for achieving their goals. An AI tool that develops IEPs based on little student-specific information and that is not significantly reviewed and edited by a teacher likely would not meet these IDEA requirements, said the CDT paper.
What should districts do?
I'm going to argue with the article here and say MAKE THIS SOMETHING THAT IS BARRED.
