Responsible innovation
Innovation should expand human capacity — not bypass human judgment.
A new tool or method is not mission-aligned until its educational value, risks, costs, and implementation demands have been considered.
National EdTech Summit 2026
Using technology with purpose, not pressure.
Dr. Jennifer Clark joined the plenary at the National EdTech Summit in Belize — the same standard the Institute brings to every school: ethical, useful, affordable, and sustainable.
- Human oversight remains necessary for consequential decisions.
- Privacy, security, bias, accessibility, and intellectual property should be considered before adoption.
- Tools should support learning and professional judgment, not merely reduce labor.
- Users should know when AI materially shaped content or analysis.
- The Institute should test tools in context and avoid overstating capability.
Innovation review
We are not committed to technology simply because it is new. Schools need innovation that is ethical, useful, affordable, and sustainable.
- 01
Document the need the innovation addresses.
- 02
Review privacy, safety, bias, accessibility, security, and contractual concerns.
- 03
Use pilots and human review for higher-risk applications.
- 04
Define who is accountable for decisions supported by technology.
- 05
Stop or revise use when harms outweigh benefits.
