Do this stage without any AI tool.
A FRAMEWORK FOR AI IN EDUCATIONClear rules.
Clear rules.
Human learning.
AI rules that change with the work students are actually doing.
PACT makes school AI policy usable at the moment of teaching. One stage, one assessed skill, one clear permission level.
Four levels. No detectors. Human judgment.

01 / THE IDEAOne rule for everything
One rule for everything
misses the point.
AI can help a student understand a concept—and replace the very skill another task is assessing.
The question is not simply “Is AI allowed?” It is “What is the student learning to do at this stage?” PACT puts that question at the centre.
01
Stage
Where is the student in the work?
02
Skill
What are we actually assessing?
03
Permission
How much AI can be used here?
02 / A SHARED LANGUAGEFour levels.
Four levels.
A clear line at each one.
Always attached to a stage.
Always stated in words.
L1
AI for understanding
Use AI to explain, translate, or check comprehension. Nothing it produces enters your work.
L2
AI as collaborator
Generate, draft, or critique with AI. Log it. The final decisions must be yours.
L3
AI-augmented
Use AI freely here. Log what you used and reflect on what it changed.
Where L1 becomes L2
Asking AI to explain a method is L1. Asking it to check the answer you will submit is L2. The line is whether AI touched the work being handed in.
03 / PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
The rule follows the work.

THE SKILL THAT MATTERS
Research and context
Research synthesis is not the assessed skill at this stage. Source judgement is assessed later.
Illustrative assignment from the policy. Teachers set levels for their own assessed skills.
Make learning visible.
Keep judgment human.
Clear rules. Process journals. Drafts. Conversations. PACT helps teachers understand the work behind the submission.
No AI detector. No suspicion score. No automated verdict about a student.
