Partnering with AI in Education
A practical framework for helping students and educators work with AI with clarity, boundaries, and strong judgment, without bans, surveillance, or tool hype.
Designed for Grades 8–12 and the educators and leaders who support them.
Created by Carl Murray, international school admissions and leadership practitioner, now working with schools through Erlazion to support coherent, responsible AI integration.
Watch: A 5-minute overview of PWAiE and the “thinking partner” approach
This short walkthrough explains the shift from treating AI like a shortcut to using it as a structured thinking partner, and what that looks like in real classroom practice.
How to build student guardrails without bans or surveillance
A simple “AI pledge” and instruction routine that keeps students thinking
How the “AI mirror” concept strengthens student voice and judgment
What Partnering with AI in Education is
PWAiE is a school-ready guide and implementation framework that helps communities move from “AI confusion” to shared practice.
It gives students a structure for using AI without outsourcing their thinking, and gives educators and leaders a coherent way to align language, expectations, and boundaries across classrooms and divisions.
Who It’s For
Schools and programs serving learners age 13+, especially those who want to:
reduce ambiguity and uneven classroom rules
protect academic integrity without policing
support student agency, discernment, and ethical decision-making
create a clear posture on AI that staff and families can understand
How Schools Use It
PWAiE can live in multiple “homes” depending on your structure:
advisory / homeroom
humanities and research writing
study skills and learning support
project-based learning
orientation for staff and leadership alignment
Schools may adopt it as a standalone guide, or pair it with a short pilot to build shared language before scaling.
What This Supports
Schools using PWAiE are aiming for outcomes like:
a safer, clearer structure for student AI use
shared staff language and aligned expectations
fewer reactionary rules and fewer grey areas
increased student independence and better decision-making
implementation that respects workload and local context
What's included
Student-facing guide (Grades 8–12)
reflective prompts and practical workflows
clear boundaries for healthy use
routines that build judgment and responsibility
Educator and leadership section
facilitation prompts and pacing guidance
implementation notes for real school settings
leadership framing for coherence across divisions
Policy-ready AI Use Framework
usable language that schools can adapt to their context
supports consistency without becoming surveillance
Adoption Options
Pilot
A short, contained rollout with a small cohort to surface what works, what needs tuning, and what scaling would require.
License the framework
Schools license PWAiE for internal use and responsible adaptation.
License + Professional Learning
A 90-minute workshop or half/full-day session that helps staff translate the framework into consistent practice.
Fit Check (15 minutes)
If you’re exploring how to build a coherent approach to AI use, a short conversation is the simplest next step.
In 15 minutes we’ll clarify:
your current posture and pain points
what kind of coherence you actually need (student, staff, leadership)
whether PWAiE fits your environment and constraints
FAQ
Is this tied to a specific AI tool or vendor?
No. PWAiE is platform-agnostic. It focuses on habits, boundaries, and decision-making.
Is this anti-AI or pro-AI?
It’s pro-responsibility. The goal is healthy, intentional use that strengthens learning rather than bypassing it.
Does this replace school policies?
No. It complements existing policies and helps translate them into daily practice.
Can schools adapt the materials?
Yes, within the licensing terms. The goal is responsible adaptation, not uncontrolled sharing.
