What this page helps staff do
Use this page to set the baseline before trying a tool, sharing a prompt, or adapting an AI output for transition work.
Start Here
Responsible AI in transition work begins with limits, not excitement.
AI can help with planning, communication, accessibility, and instruction. It should not replace student voice, human judgment, or individualized transition decision-making.
Core stance
- AI is a support tool, not a decision-maker.
- Student voice remains central.
- Identifiable student information must be protected.
- Human review is required before use.
- Outputs must be checked for bias, assumptions, accuracy, and respectful language.
- Transition planning remains individualized.
What still requires review
Staff still decide whether the output is accurate, respectful, realistic, and appropriate for the actual student, workplace, or support context.
Appropriate use
Use AI to rewrite a workplace expectation in plainer language, then review and adapt the response for a specific student and setting.
Inappropriate use
Do not use AI to decide whether a student is ready for a placement or to generate final IEP recommendations without human judgment and team review.
Before you paste anything into a tool
Use the minimum student information needed for the task. Remove names and identifying details whenever possible. If your district has approved a specific AI tool for this kind of work, follow its data-use rules and your district's privacy guidance.
- District approval is not blanket permission to enter every detail from a student record.
- Do not assume polished language means reliable language.
- Do not let AI define a student's future or readiness.
- Do not use AI to avoid team discussion or individualized planning.
